Celebrating nearly 30 years as YOUR not-for-profit professional theatre... with PASSION!

from Donna Marbach - book cover art wanted

Dear Artists,

This is  a quick note to let you know that my small press Palettes & Quills is currently seeking cover art for a soon-to-be published poetry chapbook.  We are paying $50.00 plus 5 copies of the chapbook for the reproduction rights of a painting, drawing, or photograph  in conjunction with publication of this book. The selected artist will also be credited in the book and in publicity for the book.

Since  this art is going to be cover art for a approximately 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" book, keep in mind that it must reproduce clearly at that size without losing too much detail.  (We will ultimately need a high resolution copy from you, though submissions can be at lower resolutions) Also,note that vertical rather than horizontal orientations tend to work better as a cover.  We will look at submissions that are both in color and in black-and-white, though at the moment our preference is for color.  Details from larger pieces are certainly acceptable.  If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to email me.

The chapbook, entitled If Tigers Do Not Come, is a collection of contemporary free-verse poems on a variety of topics.
 
If you are interested in seeing a DRAFT  copy of the book, one can be emailed to you, but please remember that it is an uncorrected and incomplete copy of the final book.  We will accept submissions as electronic JPG attachments to the email: palettesnquills@gmail.com
(Please do not ask that we visit your websites.  While we may like your style or some of your work, we would rather have specific submissions.)  No originals please.  You may email CD's with JPG copies to the address below, but none will be returned.

Thank you for considering us and feel free to publicize this in your art groups or pass the information on to others who might be interested.

Recycled Orchestra

 

In Coleura, Paraguay, the residents of a slum community built on a landfill earn their living by recycling and selling items found in the landfill.  They also use the found materials to make musical instruments, as in the violin shown here, for the Recycled Orchestra in which their young people perform.

The young performers and their orchestra will be featured in an upcoming documentary, Landfill Harmonic. You can see a preview here:

M'Bemba Bangoura at Bush Mango

M'Bemba Bangoura, one of the foremost ambassadors for Guinean drum and dance, is revered worldwide for his high level of mastery. A native of Guinea, West Africa, M'Bemba was acclaimed as a master drummer by the age of 21 and was invited to play for Ballet Djoliba, the most respected ballet company in Guinea at that time. Since moving to the US in 1992, M'Bemba has been an integral part of most major drum and dance conferences nationwide. He has taught hundreds of students, many of whom are now teachers themselves. In addition, he has created choreography and developed repertoire for dozens of dance companies in New York City and abroad.

Bridge Art Gallery

From John Retallack

I have three images in the Bridge Gallery Relationships Exhibit. One is attached. the other two are similar but with adults.

These are vintage silver gelatin prints!

The Bridge Gallery is a creation of University or Rochester Medical Center. Specifically the Department of Psychiatry.

It is only a hallway gallery but has been attracting some of Rochester's known artists including quite a few ABG members. I have been in several of their shows which are juried.

For over the course of nearly three centuries, La Maison du Pastel has counted among its clients, some of the greatest pastelists in the world:  Degas, Chéret, Redon, Whistler, and later Vuillard, Ker-Xavier Roussel, Poliakoff and today our own Wolf Kahn to name a few. 

In the year 2000, our dear friend Isabelle Roche became the 4th generation owner to carry on the family tradition of making the finest pastels in the world.  Isabelle Roche will travel from Paris to be our guest to tell us about her plans for today and the future. She will explain the process of formulating new colors, searching for new pigments, and tell us her goal for 2020.

LifeScapes at the Art Center of Yates County

 The Art Center of Yates County will have the opening reception for LifeScapes on Friday, October 12th from 5 - 7 PM. Complementary wine tasting will be provided by Serenity Vineyards. The show  will be an illustration of the infinite creative potential offered by landscapes. Along with the ACYC Members Artists, the exhibit will feature the work of three remarkably talented photographers, each of them with a different approach of the subject: Gil Maker, Sheridan Vincent and JFK/AJVK.

ABG Member Sheridan Vincent says about his work, “Photography for me is an opportunity to look closer at what is often common and routine. I seek common, interesting and photogenic moments in the Rochester and the Finger Lakes region” clearly describe the originality of his work. His pictures, very often panoramic scenes, have usually a water element. He has mastered the art of making large photographs and uses different print materials (special papers, canvas or white coated aluminum) to produce images at their best."
