Art Show Expected to Attract 50,000 City declares a month-long celebration of art The popular Los Angeles Art Show unfolds at the Los Angeles Convention Center January 21-25.

Jan 24, 2009 Gallery/show reception Houston, TX 18 Hands Gallery 249B W. 19th St 713-869-3099 Add to My SWA	Throw-A-Thon In an unprecedented event, ceramic artist Albert Goldreich will attempt to break the world record for �continuous throwing on the potter�s wheel by one person� in a special Throw-a-Thon, benefiting Empty Bowls Houston, on Saturday, January 24th beginning at 3:00 p.m., at 18 Hands Gallery, 249B West 19th Street in the Heights. Empty Bowls is an international organization with a mission to end hunger. The Houston Chapter benefits the Houston Food Bank and is organized by area ceramists. No stranger to difficult tasks, the 70-year-old Goldriech has a history of rather unique philanthropic activities. In the summer of 2007, he walked across England to raise money for M. D. Anderson and other charities. Goldreich has arranged a special standing wheel for his heroic feat and plans on turning out some 300 bowls, all of which will be sold at Empty Bowls Houston this March. �It's hard to think about people going hungry,� says Goldreich. �I am so blessed that my family has never had to worry about hunger; I feel it's my time to give back.� He fully intends to break the current record of 17 hours as stated in the The Book of Alternative Records. �I am shooting for 24 hours,� boasts Goldreich, who is also hoping to bring more visibility to the ceramic arts through the event. �So many people have never seen a potter at work.� The artist plans to keep his strength up with health bars and a lot of coffee. He will be stationed by the window, where pedestrians can watch and engage him in the process. Goldreich has few fears about the project and feels it should be considerably easier than walking across England. �It's actually very relaxing to work at the wheel,� he says. �Once I get into a rhythm, all should go well.� 18 Hands Gallery artist Betsy Evans is excited about the event. �It's great to see Albert channeling his enormous energy into a project as fun as this, and for a great cause,� says Evans. �He's a risk taker with an especially warm heart.� For Evans, the project fits perfectly with the 18 Hands mission, which includes building awareness of the ceramic arts and contributing to the Greater Houston community. "Albert has set a big challenge for himself, and all of us in the ceramics community will be pulling for him. Albert�s commitment is very generous and illustrates what Empty Bowls is all about -- artists contributing their time and their talent to help those in need through the Houston Food Bank,� says Tom Perry, co-founder of Empty Bowls Houston. �With the economy spiraling downward right on the heels of Hurricane Ike�s devastation, the Houston Food Bank really needs benefits like Empty Bowls to feed those in the Greater Houston area who would otherwise go without food and good nutrition."

Jan 26, 2009 Art show and sale Park City, UT Park City 439.649.3001 Add to My SWA	Inspired by the Natural World Gallery Mar presents new works by Brooks Yates and Sharon Jackman this month. Yates' childhood in the vibrant Utah landscape inspired a passion for color. His minimalist, sometimes moody scenes evoke a Hopperesque sensibility. "I've loved to paint ever since I was a young boy-the colors in the sky at sunset, a country home on a summer day or a stormy mountainside with its purple clouds," he says. Jackman, a ceramist, employs yoga breathing techniques while exerting the delicate yet strong pressure needed to pull the clay. "The natural world inspires me, so I was fascinated to discover crystalline glazes, in which a process normally occurring deep in the earth can be coaxed to take place in a kiln," she says. The two-person show runs January 26 through February 9.
Jan 28, 2009 Gallery/show reception Palm Desert, CA 45350 San Luis Rey Ave. at El Paseo 760-674-9955 Add to My SWA	Wood & Imagination, New Sculptures National and international award winner, Charlotte Lees, shows her latest body of work at Desert Art Collection.

The sensitive use of added materials to the surfaces have heightened the emotional quality of her pieces. When viewing her works, one is simultaneously experienceing the essence of antiquity and the contemporary image. Lees sculptures are in public, corporate and private art collections across the United States.

Feb 14, 2009 Exhibit Santa Fe, NM 1606 Paseo de Peralta 505-989-1199 Add to My SWA	Pretty is as Pretty Does The phrase "pretty is as pretty does" is an idiom typically used to describe a beautiful girl with a nasty disposition�she may look pretty, but it doesn�t follow that she acts pretty. Organized by Phillips Director Laura Steward Heon, the show takes its inspiration from this phrase and features works that suffuse base, provocative content in otherworldly beauty. The artists whose works are included in this exhibition have, with exquisite care and cunning charm, made objects that glitter with unsettling appeal. In all of the works, an effervescent prettiness and sneering nastiness circle around each other, and both qualities are magnified by their combination. Instead the works were brought together for their peculiar aesthetic dialectic. For example, in the heart of the show, ceramic objects made by Kathy Butterly share space with Tanyth Berkeley�s photographs of an albino model named Grace and other improbably beautiful women.

Feb 23, 2009 Gallery/show reception Palm Desert, CA 45350 San Luis Rey Ave. at El Paseo 760-674-9955 Add to My SWA	Epiphany: The New Golden Series Michael Battaglia, much sought after for his Venetian plaster, ragged edged, "Sgraffito" paintings, continues his "Golden Series" for the 2009 show. This is only his fourth show as an artist and already he has work in corporate and private collections across the United States. Prior to becoming a fine artist, for thirty years he had been doing commissions for the rich and famous from New York City to Beverly Hills. A Master of Fine Arts (University of Washington), Battaglia has been creating whole walls and ceilings in trompe l'oeil. His clients included the former owners of Architectural Digest and the swanky Venetian hotel/resort/casino in Las Vegas. The "gracefully aged look" is Michael's specialty. He is inspired by a lifetime of passion for the ancient world, the play of light on European old world surfaces, and the once written and oral traditions lost from memory. There is a preview soiree with the artist in attendance on Saturday, February 21, 5-8 pm. RSVP required.

Mar 23, 2009 Gallery/show reception Palm Desert, CA 45350 San Luis Rey Ave. at El Paseo 760-674-9955 Add to My SWA	Timeless Past, Ethereal Bronzes Virgil Villers' shows his works of bronze in the gallery and sculpture garden of Desert Art Collection. His work echoes Egyptian and African influences and is about the timelessness of the past compared to the short-llived immediacy of the present. Villers' figures are not about the human figure, but rather the metaphysical. He achieves this ethereal, expressionless imagery by using a basic primitive principle--parallel axial construction. This elongated construction, absent contrapasto (or figurative twist), conveys an overwhelming sense of stillness and surreal stylization to create a dreamlike aura. Virgil's animals are raw and energized life encounters and primal desires that humans possess. The animal figures often act as guardians over the human figures. Spiritual communication is often evident between the ethereal God-like figure and the mortal animals. There is a reception for the artist on Thursday, April 2, 5-8pm.
Mar 26, 2009 Gallery/show reception Palm Desert, CA 45350 San Luis Rey Ave. at El Paseo 760-674-9955 Add to My SWA	Color & Line, Expressionist Oil Paintings Aida Schneider will show her latest collection of oil stick on board paintings at Desert Art Collection. Although she has lived most of her adult life in this country, much of her work is drawn from early influence.

The ambiguity invites the viewer's interpretation and engages their imagination. There will be a reception for the artist on Thursday, April 2, 5-8pm.
