Actually, as I write this, the town has no confirmed cases, and we are going to do our part to help with that. Yesterday the gallery closed its doors following the end of the Saturday hours. This follows on the postponing of the reception for the Fiber Arts Plus show, and all March classes and workshops. The office will also be closed for now, though it can still be reached through email. <br />
<br />
The assumption is that this is just temporary- once the threat of disease has passed, we will get back to normal, with much of these postponed items being rescheduled. Can't give you an exact date yet because we don't have one. We survived being closed down during Hurricane Sandy and the recovery, so we should survive this as well. Keep an eye on the main website for further news.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, if you did not get a chance to see the Fiber Arts Plus show in the gallery, a virtual look is available as a YouTube video, the link posted on our main site under Events. A way to kill four minutes while you are trapped in your house. Exhibition images are also available on this blog.<br />

We have a new show up on the walls of the Boathouse- Fiber Arts Plus. What is fiber art? The simplest explanation is that it is art that involves any kind of fiber, natural or synthetic. Natural fibers can include anything derived from plants or animals, and synthetic includes anything made from anything else. Tends to lean more toward the aesthetic than the practical, but there can be a lot of overlap, as with our recent ceramics show. Is it masculine or feminine? Art or craft? This show is not here to settle those big questions, but we seem to have more art than craft in the galleries right now. Perhaps you should come see it for yourself.<br />
<br />
The exhibition fills both the front and back galleries, containing well over 40 works from participants, not including an elaborate display on the back wall showing some of the variety of fiber arts found around the world, and like most ancient processes, both art and craft, it has been practiced in most parts of the world. Artists can pull from any of those traditions when creating. Interested members can join the Fiber Fridays <a href="https://www.belmararts.org/shared-interest-groups.html">interest group</a>, which has explored many processes over the years. And running at the same time over the next month or so will be a number of related <a href="https://www.belmararts.org/classes.html">workshops and classes</a>, where participants can learn to weave baskets, or work with wheat grass. embroider fabric, or even block print on fabric, all of which can be an end in itself, or provide a product to be used to make more art. The show is called Fiber Arts Plus because it isn't limited just to fiber processes, but submitted work could be mixed media, combining fiber and other art forms. Some of the fiber processes seen include basketry, quilting, felting, paper weaving, embroidery, plus mixed media sculpture. The committee chair for this exhibition is Shiela Kramer.<br />

As I wrote earlier, the whole back wall of the back gallery is a display showing some of the variety of fiber based art that has been practiced around the world. Labels on the walls and podiums tell us that some samples have come from the United States, many European countries, and also all over Asia, South America, Africa.<br />

The reception for this show that had been scheduled for Saturday evening has been cancelled, due to the issues related to the corona virus, affecting much of this nation right now. However, the show is up and available to be seen any time the gallery is open, and for now it's the regular gallery hours, through the show's conclusion April 24, 2020. As always, admission and parking are free.<br />

<br />
A ceramics show has been on display at the Boatworks for a few weeks, but tonight we had the official opening. The exhibition features 11 artists who work with ceramics in Monmouth and Ocean counties: Jim Aberle, Debby Bitterly, Don Bradford, Ali Bowie, Aireon Cline, Bruce England, Mil Wexler Kobrinski, Mary Leather, K. Dorsey Lucas, Nell Ryan, and Marlis Schleger. <br />
<br />
So what is ceramics? Simply put, it is an art form made from clay, a natural substance that can be found in the ground in many places. The moist clay is shaped as desired, then fired, the heat making the clay hard and the shape permanent, while affecting the surface textures. How it is fired can vary greatly, and this show includes such methods as pit firing, raku, standard kilns, etc. Each method can get a very different result. As for what artists make from it, that's where it gets more complicated. <br />
<br />
This exhibition features many vessels of course, a common use going back in pre-history. Plenty of bowls, vases, jars, plates- fired clay is very durable and vessels thousands of years old have been found around the world. But clay can also be shaped into anything else, and throughout history has been used to make many decorative and ceremonial items. All of this and more can be seen in this exhibition. A wall in the front gallery has a display that shows a small piece of the history of ceramics- examples, locations, purposes, processes.<br />
<br />

The biggest part of the exhibition is samples of work from the eleven artists, each one getting a table or wall (or both) to fill, and these are found all around the front and back galleries.<br />

We have been holding these Salon style shows for several years now, open shows with some kind of theme, where participants are invited to present one of their works and briefly talk about it. Artists may talk about their materials, their inspiration, their subject, their process- whatever they want. The afternoon rain had eased up and the crowd started coming, including an estimated over 40 participating artists from the exhibition, including a few new members. Exhibition chair Jim Aberle was present to get things started and move us from piece to piece and artist to artist until everyone got their turn. <br />

Many paintings, many photographs, a variety of fabric based arts, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and other media were all represented, demonstrating the variety of art skills found among our members, and in offered classes. And something that may be new to us- conceptual art.<br />

When the event began, the above frame included a banana (as in the two above photos). Before the evening was over, it was gone. What will be there when the gallery opens next week? To find out you'll have to come in and see.<br />

With so much art, the front gallery couldn't hold it all, so eventually the festivities moved to the back gallery, which held even more art. And if all that isn't enough, the side gallery has a little show of fiber based art, a preview of the Fiber Arts show coming up later in the spring. (see the website for details)<br />

Like that banana, the artists and their stories are no longer in the galleries, but the rest of the art will remain on the walls for a few more weeks. Come check it out.<br />

The Boatworks has a new show up, the new Salon style show where exhibitors get to talk about the artworks with visitors to the reception. However, that's still a week away, so here's a preview of what you can see. Of course you get a much better view of the show by going to the gallery in person, open during the usual posted hours.<br />

The title of this show (and its theme) is Art in Nature, and the art reflects this. Views of nature, and a lot of them- there are over 80 works in this show. A variety of mediums- painting, drawing, prints, photography, sculpture, fabric arts- we got it all.<br />

The Salon part of the show will be at the official opening reception, January 25, 2020 (next Saturday), from 5 to 7 pm. All are welcome and admission is free. The show will remain on the walls through February 8, 2020.<br />

Tonight we had a different kind of opening, a collaboration between two artists. The exhibition is called "Patterns" Art, Mysticism, & Science "An Escape into Reality", and the artists are David Levy and Paul Hansen. One thing they have in common is a love of pattern, which show up in the paintings of Hansen, the optical art and photographs of Levy, and a few things they collaborated on. <br />
<br />
Perhaps because of this common theme, the work was all hung side by side, with only small number tags to specify what was being seen. Sometimes common colors helped to unify the collections of works.<br />

The large paintings and multimedia installations come from Paul Hansen, and include such common themes of heads and of the Vitruvian Man made famous by Leonardo da Vinci. Bold colors and shapes are also typical of these pieces. There are 13 works from Hansen found scattered throughout the front and back galleries.<br />

Meanwhile, David Levy's pieces tend to make use of moire patterns, a kind of interference pattern that results from layering one pattern over another with some transparency or spacing, creating odd optical effects. Included are some early experiments that go back to his teen years involving wood frames and carefully spaced thread, but most involve wooden backs and painted patterns on both the wood and plexiglass suspended in front. Every small movement of the viewer's head results in new optical patterns as the lines in different directions visually intersect. There are 28 such pieces scattered between the two galleries, along with 8 photographs of industrial scenes- mostly architectural items that display strong patterns.<br />

Shows with just two artists can be a risk in terms of attendance, but this one worked out. The artists had many friends and fans who showed up to enjoy the bold art.<br />

Over in the Lounge Gallery, another show, this one featuring work from the Fiber Fridays group, which meets monthly to try materials and processes related to fiber based arts. 20 assorted pieces.<br />

Which leads to this large installation on the stage, involving furniture, a mannequin, quilt and geometric themed wall hanging. Was it a Levy, a Hansen, or part of the Fiber Friday show? Seemed like it could have been any of them. Answer was none of the above. Turned out to be a collaboration between our two main artists, and the Friday people not involved in any way, though I'd guess they admired it.<br />
<br />
This exhibition built around the idea of patterns, painted, constructed, or just optical, remains on display at the Boatworks during posted gallery hours through December 21, 2019. As of now there are plans for a closing reception on December 21st from 5 to 7 pm, but you don't want to wait that long to see this fun and thought provoking show.<br />

A few days ago a new show came to the Boatworks, and tonight was the official opening. The show is called Cornucopia of Color, and that title is certainly true. This exhibition is organized by committee chairs Eileen Petruch and Rupa DasGupta. No specific medium, though it seems painting dominates, but there are examples of collage, photography, drawing, fibers, and mixed media. No specific subject either. What it all has in common is an abundance of color. The proposal indicates that reds, yellows, and oranges of autumn were the inspiration for the show theme, but were not a requirement, and artists will do what they are going to do, so any color you can think of can be found on these walls. In any case, it's a cure for gray days of autumn, such as the one we had today. </div>

The show fills both the front and back galleries, almost 60 works total. The reception had a slightly earlier than usual start time, due to a musical event happening a little later, but we still got a pretty good crowd.<br />

The crowd was eventually bolstered by the arrival of some of the artists connected to the show in the Lounge gallery, which was also quite colorful. The artists were youthful, members of the Boys and Girls club of Monmouth County, located Asbury Park. Curated by Donna Mechura, the over 40 works include a wide variety of media, such as painting, collage, mixed media, cut paper, and collage. If you are going to come see the main show, you may as well check out the side gallery and see these colorful works.<br />

If you have a desire to get out of the gray and into the color, stop by the Boatworks between now and November 23rd, when this show comes down. As always, admission is free.<br />
<br />
In connection with this show, there will be a Salon event on Saturday Nov 9, from 3 to 5 pm. All participants are invited to come and present their piece(s) from the show to all who are in attendance. This event is free and open to the public. So if you want to know more about this Cornucopia of Color and want to get in out of the cold, be sure to stop by.<br />

<br />
Once again it is time for one of the more popular shows around here, the annual photography show. Some years there has been a theme, some years (like this one) there has not, but one thing that has been consistent in recent years is the format. Photographs must be printed at 13" x 19" (can be vertical or horizontal), which fits glass they hang behind. But subject, style, black and white or color- the rest its wide open. The show was organized by committee chairs Michael and Beverly Miller.<br />

The decision was made in advance to limit the show to 50 pieces, which still fills both the front and back galleries. The side gallery/Lounge displays several woodcut prints by Paul Bonelli.<br />

Around the halfway point in the reception David Levy was introduced. The significance is that he, along with longtime member Bonnie Smith, were the exhibition jurors. David, who will be featured in another show later this year, was present tonight and spent time talking about the difficulty of cutting the number of pieces down to 50 (as a lot more good things had come in) and in reaching a consensus with Bonnie on work selection and awards. But reach it they did, as we were given the list tonight.<br />

It seems like everyone loves Belmar, especially in the summer. Crowds keep arriving in town, by car, by bus, by train. Some come for the bars and parties, some for the fishing and seafood, some even come for the art, but probably most come for the beach. It's very popular this time of year, including for many who live around here all the time. The current art show at the Boatworks is an open show, that comes with the theme of Love The Shore- Oceans First. And the work is all about what the participants love about the shore. <br />

Our chair even took time to work with students at the Belmar Boro Summer Camp, having then make artworks about what they love about the shore. These works are hanging in our Lounge area, each labeled with the creator's name and age. At the reception, donated works were auctioned off for the benefit of Clean Ocean Action, which will also be given a percentage of sales from the exhibition.<br />

The BAC tried a different kind of event tonight- an artist talk in conjunction with a current show. Not quite the same as the Salon exhibitions, but not too different either. The show in question is the Big Painting show, where all participating artists provided a large painting, at least 36" square. All those artists were invited to participate, along with any friends who wanted to come, or for that matter, the public. Exhibition organizer Sandy Taylor was the host. Most of the discussion occurred in the back gallery, where all those in attendance sat in a big ring. Sometimes the painting was in the front room gallery, so it was carried into the back so everyone could see it. On at least one occasion, everyone moved into the Lounge so that a particularly large painting could be seen without being moved.<br />

In each case, the artist first presented their work. They might talk about the inspiration, the process, their favorite materials, all kinds of things that concern painters. After that, those present were invited to ask questions. There were about 20 people in attendance. Everyone seemed to be having a good time.<br />

Long time member Sandy Taylor thought it might be a good idea to have a show focused on large scale works, things larger than 36" x 36". It's something you don't see much of, so there might be a demand out there. Juror Donna Kessinger got on board. The BAC decided to go along with it. And the entries poured in. The final tally included 71 entries, out of which only 25 were taken. Not just a matter of selectivity, though the works selected are all quite good, but partly because the Boatworks only has but so much room. On the day of intake, many of the artists were excited to finally have a place to show their larger works. <br />

Did you think we were kidding? We are not- there are some very large works in this show, and they are all worth seeing.<br />

The exhibition fills the entire Boatworks, front gallery, back gallery, even a few in the Lounge. We have had shows with more pieces, but they are never this big.<br />

Would people show up? Combine a weekend in Belmar, the hottest days of the year, some extreme humidity (weather people pointed out that the heat index for our area as about what Death Valley gets), a lot of people might have decided it was good day to hang out in front of their air conditioners. Yet we did get a good crowd. Art 1, heat 0.<br />

Eventually we got some talk from the show's organizers. Sandy mentioned that there were enough entries to have put together 4 such shows. Does this mean more large painting shows are coming? No promises, but I think they proved that the demand for such shows does exist. Five awards were given; here are the artists and works:<br />

The Big Painting show remains on display through August 10, 2019 during regular gallery hours. Admission is free.<br />

The new show at the Boatworks is for the birds, but that's no insult. The exhibition is called Bird Tales, and the theme is indeed all about birds. Artists were invited to submit works about birds and related things, and did they ever. This show has over 60 pieces in a variety of mediums, filling both the front and back galleries. <br />

This show was open to all mediums. Various forms of painting dominated, but there are examples of sculpture (as in the above piece by Lisa Bagwell), photography, drawing, fibers, and printmaking. The exhibition's director is Suzanne Crosby, who headed up the last bird themed show a few years ago, and the juror is Vicki Siegel, who is based in Florida. As part of the application process, all participants were asked to provide a short statement, including a mention of what the main inspiration was for the piece- a particular artist, movement, etc, and some of this was included in the wall labels that accompany each piece.</div>

This being a summer weekend in Belmar, the town was filling up, and as the exhibition reception was beginning, parking spaces were few. Many of the people walking through the door mentioned the difficulty or the distance they had walked from their parking spaces to the Boatworks. Yet people started to arrive before the official beginning and kept coming, and soon the building was quite full of visitors.<br />

As a general rule, the more artists in an exhibition, the higher the attendance at the reception, so those more than 60 works brought in quite a crowd. People were everywhere in the building, but as always the crowds started gathering in the back room, where the bar, refreshments, and some tables were located.<br />

The current show installed at the Boatworks is called "Happy Art: An Homage to Bob Ross." Bob Ross* is not found in art history textbooks nor his work in museums, and he passed away a few decades ago, yet he continues to be an influence on artists across generations. Ross learned to paint landscapes using a wet into wet technique, and arguably no one ever did a better job of demonstrating this skill and process on television. For over a decade, his shows were on the air, half hour episodes in which he always managed to turn a blank canvas into a completed landscape painting, typically heavy on mountains, bodies of water, and of course, happy little trees and clouds. These videos are still shown frequently, around the country and around the world, his English language words never overdubbed into other languages because then viewers would lose out on the opportunity to hear his mellow soothing voice. His presence never really went away, but right now there seems to be a resurgence, with marathons of his videos on television and celebrations of his life and art in places around the country. This week Belmar joined that category. <br />

Endorsed art supplies go back to his lifetime, but merchandizing of his face and words has really picked up in recent years. Our front room included this little Bob Ross shrine, and other items were found around the building. <br />

The front room gallery has over 20 works, art that has in common that it shows the influence of<br />
Bob Ross- style, technique, subject, etc. Perhaps even just a "happy accident', a big part of his artistic philosophy. <br />

Some food on tables in the front room, but most refreshments were in the back room where we traditionally keep such things. One unique thing for today was a tray of Bob Ross brownies. Standard brownies but with a reproduction of the artist and his work on top.<br />

Another unique thing here today was an artist participation wall in the back, where people could add their own "happy little trees" to this group artwork. I don't know about this idea of using markers; doesn't quite fit with the artist's typical style, but probably more practical and neater than hanging brushes full of wet oil paint.</div>

The back gallery space also features art, again over 20 pieces, but this time the main focus was on art produced in Bob Ross themed classes. The BAC has hosted a series of Bob Ross inspired painting classes, taught by Mark Saenger CRI, who teaches official Bob Ross style painting. Students not only learned to make one of his traditional landscape paintings, but also had the opportunity to participate in this exhibition.<br />

And right in the middle of the back wall there was a projection of the man himself, demonstrating one of his paintings. It was on a loop and repeated, so if you missed part, you could catch up. Sound turned off to not interfere with announcements, but the words don't matter much in this case- it's a visual thing.<br />

Happy Art: An Homage to Bob Ross remains on display during regular gallery hours through June 1, 2019. The exhibition is co-curated by Drew Leventhal and Louise Krasniewisz. Admission is free. <br />

The latest Belmar Arts Council exhibition had its official opening reception tonight. (the show actually opened on Wednesday, but prizes were announced tonight) This was the JAS 15, our 15th annual juried art show, the biggest and oldest art show the BAC has. The first two occurred before we even moved into the Boatworks. It generally draws our largest number of entries each year, and has some of the biggest prizes. This year we had about 150 entries, from which the juror, Danielle Acerra, selected 50 pieces for the show, which fills both the front and back galleries. Painting dominates, but many other mediums are also represented. <br />

Not surprisingly, it is one of our best attended openings every year. Between the artists in the show and their guests, the artists who didn't get into the show, and art lovers who just want to see the show, we always get a good crowd. Plus people want to learn who won the prizes.<br />

There was also art in our third gallery, the side room that is now a lounge area, but this is not part of the JAS 15. This is actually a special exhibition just for artists who were part of the process of converting this former classroom space to a lounge area. There was also art on the opposite walls, but the crowds around the food made it impossible to get photographs of it. <br />

Shortly before 6pm, exhibition coordinator Denise Van Dyke and BAC co-chair Beverly Miller announced the winners of the exhibition. Rather than awards in different categories, the juror decided to name 5 artists to share Best in Show awards. Here are the artists and the winning pieces:</div>

<br />
This past week the Boatworks saw a visit from some Goddesses, at least in the view of the 49 artists who have provided the artworks for this exhibition. Depictions of goddesses have been a part of art for as long as art has existed, whether it be visual, literary, theatrical, etc. This show demonstrates that diversity is still a big factor in the representation of goddesses. There are about 70 artworks, and while painting seemed to dominate this show, there are also sculptures, prints, photographs, ceramics, mixed media, fiber based arts- pretty much anything you can imagine. The show fills both the front and back galleries, and even spills over a bit into the side room. There is a lot of art to be seen, much of it colorful and very bold.<br />

The organizers are Sheila Kramer and Linda Baran, and the artists include a lot of familiar names and many first time Belmar exhibitors. What they all have in common is an opinion of what goddesses are and what they can be, plus a desire to share their view with everyone- and word is a lot of people are coming to see this show.<br />

As a special bonus for those attending the opening reception, there would be a ceramic demonstration by organizer K. Dorsey Lucas. The table was set up from the beginning, leaving just the challenge of getting the crowd to quiet down, but after a lot of shouting, they did.<br />
<br />

There's no way for an artist to provide a lifetime's worth of experience and knowledge in just a few minutes, but Dorsey shared quite a bit with those in attendance. For one thing, she often makes use of household items as tools, such as the rolling pin above, and at times a wooden spoon, and there were multiple mentions of pork chop bones, though this last item never made an appearance. She also talked about the history of the material, a natural substance that has been used in art for many thousands of years.<br />
<br />

After flattening her slab of clay a little more, she used an ordinary pencil to draw her design. In this case, not so much making marks with graphite, but using the pencil point to incise lines in the surface.<br />

With the excess cut away, she draped the face she had created over the top of a turtle back, a form she created to allow her convex creation to be properly supported while she worked on it, including gradually building form with additional bits of clay properly attached to what was there.<br />

<br />
Dorsey also took a few minutes to show how clay can be rolled into snake like forms and made into coils, which can be used to build larger clay sculptures, such as some from her display on the adjacent wall. Of course, this was all just a tiny taste of what is involved in ceramics- if you want to know more or try it yourself, any of these artists could answer questions or point you in the right direction.<br />

Meanwhile, this display of ceramics by nine experienced artists will remain on display during gallery hours through February 28, 2019. As always, admission is free.<br />

We have some changes going on around here, in our building, but also here on the internet. This blog, no, that is pretty much the same as ever. The blog is its own site, so while the main websites for this organization come and go, the blog goes on and on. But a few things were revealed at the Humor show opening a few days ago, and now they are official.<br />
<br />
First of all, we have a brand new website. It's been in progress for a little while, but it went online earlier today as planned. Good news- it's the same address we've always had, so if you knew how to get to the previous website, you know how to get to this one, and old links to it should still work. For example, the link to the main website in the column to the right will now get you to this new one. It's brighter and more colorful than the last one had been, or the temporary site that was operating just before this new one. But so far it seems to have all the important stuff- information about events, exhibitions, classes, groups, etc. Make sure to check it out.<br />

Another big announcement over the weekend is that the organization will go back to referring to itself as the BAC, as we had done back in the old days. Back then it was understood that those letters stood for the Belmar Arts Council, and I guess they still could. More importantly, they stand for us and what we are doing now. We have a new logo to go along with all this, and eventually they will send a copy here so I can post it as part of this site. Meanwhile, we are still headquartered in the Boatworks in Belmar, still involved in many aspects of art. As one of my old professors said, "Art is Forever."<br />

It's now 2019, and with a new year comes a new schedule of exhibitions at the Boatworks, and it has been tradition for several years that we kick off those years with a Salon style show. That means a members show, where the opening reception invites all participants to spend a few minutes presenting their work- talking about where the idea came from, materials used, or anything else they think is relevant to the piece. There is not always an overall theme, but this year there is. This is LOL: The Humor Show. What constitutes humor can vary from person to person, but words commonly thrown around here included funny, light, amusing, playful...you get the idea. Welcome to the Humor Show.<br />

The whole exhibition fills both galleries, but when the events were ready to begin tonight, most of the crowd was in the back room, near the food and the bar. So it was decided to start the Salon part of the evening back there. <br />

As expected, we had a fairly large crowd of people there for the event, listening as each artist shared the story behind their work. At this event it is always fascinating to hear these stories, which illuminate each piece, and this being a humor show, often came with a bit of fun. <br />

With the back room artists all done, we moved the event to the front room and heard from all those artists. And with that completed, it became a regular party.<br />

The LOL Humor reception has now passed, and all the stories now just part of our collected memories, but the show will remain on display for the rest of the month. Come see art that explores the lighter side of life, while still being art that doesn't ignore the rest of life, or art. The work will remain on display through February 1, 2019 during regular gallery hours. Admission and parking are free as always.<br />
<br />
Before the night was over, we were told of changes coming to the organization, including a new website possibly as soon as next week (the blog isn't going anywhere), a new logo, and other fun changes. Check back here for more details.arrabbiatahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02170008457450508552noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8262535244607783551.post-81203671530995757932018-12-01T23:30:00.000-05:002018-12-02T02:16:05.908-05:00Affordable Art and Member Showcase<br />
Tonight we had another double opening reception at the Boatworks. In the front room we had Affordable Art, A Holiday Sales Exhibition. Participants were given some space to show some "affordable art", which was limited to things no larger than 11"x14" and with a price of no more than $100. Most of it turned out to be paintings, hung in clusters representing each artist (participants could have up to 5 items on display), but we also had some groupings of ceramics. This is a cash and carry show, meaning that anyone who makes a purchase can take it home immediately, without waiting until the end of the exhibition. In fact, some things left the wall tonight, but the artists will have the ability to replace them with new items, so make sure to come back often over the month. <br />

Meanwhile, the back gallery has a very different show, a Members' Showcase: Three Artists. Interested artists had the opportunity to apply for this exhibition and a committee of members of the Board of Trustees selected three of those applicants to share the space: Lisa Bagwell, Hillary Binder-Klein, and Andy Carvalhais. All three have in common that their images include recognizable subjects. Beyond that it's a fairly diverse group.</div>

Lisa has been a member for many years and is known far and wide for her use of cast off materials in the creation of her sculptures. The pieces in this show are made from such things as small plastic cigar mouthpieces, disposable plastic eating utensils, small bottles, plastic disposable cup lids, discarded bits of toys- someone throws it away and she has art material. And she has a remarkable ability to turn the colors, shapes, and textures of garbage into things and creatures we easily recognize and want to look at. <br />

Also in this show is Hillary Binder-Klein, a little more traditional. The paintings are typically landscapes, portrayed in colors that match our expectations of landscape painting. The mats and frames are very tasteful. Her preferred material is acrylic paint on a heavy paper with the texture of canvas, a texture that remains very visible through the paint, and the glass they sit behind. The style is modern, but the feel fits within the long and respected tradition of landscape painting.<br />

The third member of this showcase group is Andy Carvalhais. His work is also representative, matted and framed, and makes use of color, but after that very different from the other flat works hanging on the adjacent walls. His preferred medium is drawing, making use of pencil, charcoals, pastels, all in very bold colors. The compositions are very complex and mix figure, objects, and graphics, making regular use of items of popular culture. The intended response varies from piece to piece, but psychology and expressive emotion are common elements.<br />

So, affordable art in the front, member showcase in the back, all on view through December 28, 2018, with no admission fee. The side room is a work in progress right now (receiving complements from many who viewed it tonight), but we'll save the report of that until it is done.<br />

New Jersey was just hit with the worst November winter storm in more than 80 years. Belmar was spared the major snowfall some other areas received, but we had the wind and the cold, and still do. All of this before we even got to have any turkey. It certainly feels like the holidays are getting close, so a good time for BelmarArts to Celebrate the Arts, with a Holiday Market. There will be more events to come, but for one day we had a nice little celebration. Food, entertainment, lots of art for sale, and not a snowflake in sight to get in our way.<br />

Not a huge feast, but a nice assortment of tasty treats were available for all who came by. Also a series of musicians providing live entertainment- the woman shown below was the second performer of the day.<br />

But most of all it was a place for makers of art to sell their creations, and a place for shoppers to get a head start on filling those lists of presents, for others or for themselves.<br />

We had more than 15 vendors set up in both front and back, with a classic assortment of ceramics, baskets, jewelry, fine art, and all the other things one expects to find at one of our artisan market sales.<br />

The day also included crafts, and even massages were available in the side room. That's a lot to be found in one place in a town like Belmar, well after the summer season and a bit before the official holiday season begins. <br />

Unfortunately, this Holiday Market is now done, just a one day taste of what we have to offer. But don't worry, because a much larger holiday market and sale will be coming soon, with an emphasis on small and affordable products, and that one will last from November 28 to December 28, 2018. The deadline to be an exhibiting artist at that show is just a few days away, so if you are interested, go to the Main website of BelmarArts really soon. And if you are just interested in visiting the market and maybe buying something, the official reception is on Saturday, December 1, 2018 from 5 to 7 pm, plus whatever other hours it is open.<br />

Although the art has been up on the walls for a few days, tonight was the official reception for the current show, The Annual Photography Exhibition: A Juried Exhibit. As the title indicates, this one is all about photography, all pieces a 19" x 13" standard size and framed identically, with no theme to limit the artists. <br />

This is a juried show, and the starting point was 132 entries. Jurors Merry Brennan and Freddy Clark had the task of cutting that down to the 50 pieces that were chosen for this exhibition. Both the front and back rooms were filled with art, and eventually with artists and viewers.<br />

Not surprisingly, the bar area and the refreshment room were both places where a lot of people gathered. Part of that may have been because there was no other place to stand once the crowds showed up. <br />

See, it did get quite crowded in there. At around 5:45, Beverly Miller gathered everyone to hear some important stuff, such as reminding everyone that all work in the show is for sale, at $99 per piece. And thanks to sponsors, there are quite a few monetary prizes. More workshops coming up soon. Then she gave us the list of winners- merit awards, honorable mentions, and the best-in-show. <br />

Anyone with roots in Belmar has memories of the Freedman's Bakery sign. A classic example of space age architecture (sometimes called Googie, and Doo-Wop), a part of the Main Street landscape for many decades, part of the local scenery until the demise of the bakery itself several years ago. After that the sign ended up in the possession of BelmarArts. Parts of it even sat in our side yard a few years ago.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskeElEmcerz09RUN6qy6aGRare-t-HDhFvtOpHMr701mX_uwZ8sLu8-BakuIo-bnt3jFjmbobaKouLWlRgkxCSAKtwocpkgt-pvxbxQP5uwr7ahcN9lGQtHUy1WnLrtZKvxhtkbqg/s1600/FreedmansSign1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="457" data-original-width="331" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhskeElEmcerz09RUN6qy6aGRare-t-HDhFvtOpHMr701mX_uwZ8sLu8-BakuIo-bnt3jFjmbobaKouLWlRgkxCSAKtwocpkgt-pvxbxQP5uwr7ahcN9lGQtHUy1WnLrtZKvxhtkbqg/s320/FreedmansSign1.jpg" width="231" /></a></div>
<br />
The decision was made earlier this year to raffle off the "Freedman's" part of the sign, and tickets for this purpose have been sold since the beginning of the summer, with a planned drawing to be held in September. At last week's art reception, that went down as expected.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The name written on the ticket wasn't quite legible, but the phone number was, and the winner was confirmed that day. Earlier today the winners came by to claim their prize. It's Joe and Terry Halifko and now they own an iconic piece of Belmar history. <br />
<br />
Rumor has it that in the future those large round letters that spelled out <span style="color: #cc0000;">B A K E R Y</span> will be made available to the public. Keep an eye on this space to learn more.<br />

Well, maybe the long hot summer has finally ended. Certainly fewer people in town than we've seen in a while, and better parking. Time for BelmarArts to get back to the usual business.<br />
<br />
But before we had another opening reception, a short membership meeting. Having a non-profit arts organization is a lot of work and we want to keep having this one. Two take-aways from this meeting:<br />
<br />
1) a lot of people want to have a lot of activities, the kind of stuff we've been doing for years.<br />
2) people are needed to organize and run these activities.<br />
<br />
So if you have an idea for something you want us to do, talk to the board and you may get to do it. We need money, volunteers, leadership, expertise, etc. <br />
<br />
And with that taken care of, time for fun. Right now in the Boatworks we have two shows, the first two new ones to open since early in the summer. The front gallery features an exhibition called "Art Inside the Box." The term "outside the box" is thrown around a lot in the art world, generally referring to work or artists who go against the usual in their art or ways of thinking. Turns out that a box has nothing to do with limiting creativity, as this show has all kinds of art in boxes, involving many different materials and subjects.<br />

Organized by Dug Smith and Louise Krasniewicz, there are about two dozen works, with the only thing in common being some kind of structure to partly contain it, but the ideas come bursting out anyway.</div>

Meanwhile in the back gallery we have examples of work from the students of the International Center of Photography, an invitational exhibition. The 30+ pieces are from members of the class of 2018, and examples from such programs as Creative Practices, Documentary Practice, Visual Journalism, and New Media Narratives. It is curated by BelmarArts member and ICP grad Drew Leventhal.<br />

And as a special bonus tonight, we had the raffle for the Friedman's sign, with Jim Aberle handling the drum of tickets. The name on the winning ticket was a bit illegible, but there was a number and a phone call confirmed who the winner was. When that information is shared with me, I'll post it here.<br />

Both Art Inside a Box and the ICP exhibition run through Friday, October 12, 2018. Admission is free.<br />

Tonight was the opening reception for our new current exhibition- Ancestors. Participants were invited to create an image that celebrated their ancestors and their lives, their accomplishments, or their influence on their art. In addition to a piece from the participating artist, everyone was invited to include some kind of family heirloom, photos, artworks, or crafts from the ancestor, with hopes that the combination of contemporary art and the ancestral creations would spark interesting dialogue about the influences of our ancestors on our creative lives.<br />
<br />
The format for tonight's event was one of our salon style receptions, where each participating artist was invited to talk about the piece, their ancestor, and anything else relevant to that question of influences. <br />
<br />

As part of the theme, the refreshments were labeled to play up their possible relationships to our ancestors. The one incongruence this blogger felt was the large plastic bottle of Hawaiian Punch- in my past it only came in very large metal cans. On the other hand, great effort was made to find things like Pop Rocks.<br />

As things started around 5 pm, the crowd was small, but this was not unexpected, as this was a summer Saturday afternoon in Belmar, and Main Street was pretty much gridlocked. And every parking space in the vicinity of the Boatworks was occupied by vehicles that had not brought people to the reception. More than a few people had walked from other parts of town, or even from other towns. Luckily, this is our last scheduled reception before Labor Day, and over time more people arrived from the distant parking space. Over the course of the reception, about 40-50 people turned up to see the art and hear the stories.<br />

Late in the 5:00 hour, the salon part of the reception was started, by BelmarArts chair Dana Cahoon and exhibition curator Louise Krasniewicz. The show occupies all of both the front and back galleries, so the crowd had to move around to catch all the stories.<br />

One thing that many stories had in common was that the Ancestor often had demonstrated creative interests and skills, and often the ancestral artifact was an example of their creative activities- paintings, drawings, etc. Even when these things did not seem to have a specific influence on the participants current art, they may have influenced many toward finding their own creative outlet for expressing themselves.<br />

One of the important things that an artist has to learn is that some projects take time, and sometimes it takes a long time to create important things. Tonight at the Boatworks we dedicated something that took a year, or maybe a decade, depending on how you look at it. I'll explain.<br />

The earliest years of the Belmar Arts Council were spent in various temporary, shared, and borrowed spaces. Some of them literally no longer exist. About a dozen years ago we moved into our current headquarters, the former Connolly Boatworks. At the time it was an abandoned shell of a building, but it had a floor, walls, and a roof, plus plumbing and electricity. In the years since members have done a lot to fix up the building- redoing the floors, building and rebuilding interior walls, new ceilings, new doors, fixing and creating additions. But that's just the inside.<br />
<br />
There have been some municipal paving projects, and a lot of planting projects in the front, but our side yard, between the building and the municipal parking lot just to the north, has seen a lot of art activity over the years, too. That first year in the building one of our big public projects was to create dozens of cast concrete creatures- bases, bodies, and heads that could be mixed a matched many ways, used for an event on Belmar Beach, where they seemed to emerge from the water to fill the sand, the event also including dancers, musicians, and storytellers. (had no digital camera back then, but if I can find some old printed photos I'll post beach images here) The creatures eventually found their way back to our building where they can still be seen around the outside. They were cast in vacuum-formed plastic molds, supported in pits dug in the sand in our side yard. <br />

When we realized we very much needed additional space, we took advantage of existing apertures in our concrete wall to add an addition. This now includes our education classroom, a huge closet, other storage, and a new side door, occupying a chunk of our side yard.</div>

That side yard had been used to stage many things related to art going on in the building. A lot of bands have played there, and we've hosted a lot of art demonstrations.<br />

In 2010, that yard held a temporary skateboard ramp park (above) and in 2012, we had people using stencils (below) to paint designs on motor vehicles (at the owner's request- we are not vandals).<br />

As part of yard and exterior improvements, we planted trees (above) and when they died, we removed the dead trees (below). Being that the property had once been a boat repair shop, it's not surprising that the dirt and sand is contaminated with a lot of oil, and major plantings require digging through layers of asphalt and concrete. Despite that, we have gotten a lot of things to grow over the years.<br />

Using an ancient cob building technique, it was constructed by volunteers using locally found bamboo, straw, and clay, and formed an outdoor vertical artwork. And yes, those are more of our concrete cast creatures providing support around the base.<br />

Despite being made from only natural materials, and existing completely exposed to the elements, it survived two hurricanes and numerous other coastal storms, before Belmar took it down to pave our new parking area. Our unimproved side yard has been a very busy and well used space.<br />
<br />
And yet somehow a new never before tried use was found for the space, a process that began over a year ago. The idea was to create an outdoor sculpture garden containing a labyrinth. Not so much a maze (the walls are only a few inches high), but such places are designed to give people a chance to walk around, contemplate and meditate. In this case it is also the focal point of an outdoor sculpture garden. Members Louise Krasniewicz and Jim Aberle were instrumental to the conception and designing of the labyrinth, but many many other people were involved in the process. <br />

One of today's activities was the raffling off of part of the Freedman's Bakery sign that was given to us years ago when the bakery closed. (I guess those big round letters are going to another purpose) Actually today was just the beginning of the raffle. Tickets will continue to be sold through the summer, with the drawing to be held sometime before Labor Day. The winner will receive this large sign, a landmark in Belmar for many decades.</div>

The rain held off, yet all the action early on was inside. The sign in the front gallery, crowds sitting at our cafe tables in the back gallery. What were they all looking at? <br />

We had some live music going on- Jon Falk's Band. That's him on the far left on stage. They played a nice mix of classic rock that suited our not too young audience quite well.</div>

Meanwhile, the mosaic mural project was continuing in our side education room. Considerable work was done since last week, but it's not done yet. The new goal is by the end of the summer. </div>

But after allowing time for people to arrive, the crowd was encouraged to go outside so we could get the main event going.<br />

<br />
Louise Krasniewicz (with mosaic artist Linda Baran right next to her) gave a brief speech, mentioning how it was inspired, influences, and what the goals are.<br />
<br />

Then Jim Aberle, who also did considerable work on the project, was called on to say a few words.<br />

Then Belmar's current mayor Brian Magovern, who among other things praised BelmarArts as one of the most active centers of culture in the town.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then we had an improvised ribbon cutting ceremony to make the day official. Not that it's all done. This labyrinth and sculpture garden is a work in progress. Plants will grow, and more sculptures are expected to be added. But here's a list of who is represented so far:</div>

<br />
That tall piece in the background is from Mike Grindell, and the round mosaic in the center of the labyrinth is by Linda Baran.<br />
<br />
One of the nice things about an outdoor sculpture garden is that it's open all the time. If there is daylight, you can see it. But if you come by during regular gallery hours (W-Sat, 1- 5 pm) you can buy a raffle ticket and come inside to see the current Summertime, Summertime show. And while you are outside, you can see something that we've never had in Belmar before.<br />
