20th Annual Student Art Exhibit, April 17th, 3-9 pm
The Pandemic may have delayed our popular holiday exhibit but would never stop it!! We're happy to present our 20th annual student art exhibit on Saturday, April 17th, 3-9 pm. Due to social restrictions we have extended the exhibit time to spread out the time visitors can attend. We will also have a door monitor to keep the visitors inside to a certain number. And sadly, we won't be able to have the food spread as in recent years, but we will have a refreshment stand with some goodies to eat outside, (weather permitting.) We would love to have students display with us even though they're not presently attending. If you're not ready to come out to a group setting we would still like to display your work. We will have our exhibit on our walls and also a virtual exhibit that will be available to view online. Feel free to e-mail with any questions at Mikemalzone@Gmail.com
Immersive Van Gogh exhibit comes to New York
Art museums have drawn crowds everywhere from Tokyo to Paris to Bordeaux. (There was even a drive-in exhibit in Toronto last year.) Now, people in the United States finally get to enjoy this 360-degree experience set to music with not one, but three traveling shows featuring the work of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. While each of the shows is distinct, they are similar in that they place visitors in the middle of large-scale moving images that are projected onto the walls, ceilings, and floors in a large gallery or warehouse space.
Here's the link to the NYC show:

You didn't need to watch the inauguration ceremony to know the future of art is in safe hands. While pomp and circumstance commenced once again with a new presidential term and the American government was turning a page, Amanda Gorman summed up in five minutes what we can aspire to as citizens.
Not since Robert Frost recited his poem "The Gift Outright" at John Kennedy's 1961 inauguration, did a poetry reading get so much press coverage and attention from the American public. In Robert Frost's case, the Sun and Wind worked against him and he had to forego his planned speech, "Dedication." Despite the efforts of Richard Nixon trying to block the light so Frost could see the paper, he opted for, "The Gift Outright" a poem he had committed to memory.
Amanda Gorman working in the fine art medium of poetry, comforted and yet challenged us in a little over 700 words reminding us, "For there is always light / if only we’re brave enough to see it / if only we’re brave enough to be it."
Like poets, artists, dancers, and composers before her, Amanda forged through her artistic view and talent, a vision of what we could be as a society.
April 4, 1968, Senator Robert Kennedy spoke to a crowd in Indianapolis, Indiana. He broke the tragic news to those gathered Martin Luther King was shot and killed earlier that night. Kennedy recited the words from his favorite poet Aeschylus, who wrote: "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."
The essence of those beautiful words may have been lost that night in the grief of the moment, but the spirit of Aeschylus's words are transposed through the years in the art of Amanda Gorman and other artists to come, that there is always light and we inherited the gift to not just see it, but also to become it.

"Night Watch" By Rembrandt, Brought To Life
The Rijksmuseum museum in Holland had an idea: Let's bring the art to the people and then, hopefully, they will come to see more - at the museum.
They took one Rembrandt painting from 1642, "Night Watch" and brought to life the characters in it, placed them in a busy mall, and the rest you can see for yourself!
