Mimma Salinas Memorial - “My work is a collection of intangible dreams and fantasies made into a hard and durable material – bronze. I make my dreams become reality and attempt to represent the past, present and future of my most primitive instincts. By doing so I bring to the rest of the world what I feel to be the very essence of my mortal soul.” So reads the artist statement of sculptress Mimma Salinas, our gallery sister who lost her battle against pancreatic cancer this March. Please join us on Saturday August 9 for the opening reception of “Immortal Soul: A Tribute to Mimma Salinas.” This show, which will raise money for The Mimma Salinas Foundation, will feature gallery artists as well as artists outside the gallery that knew and loved Mimma, and will celebrate her life and spirit. The show opens on Wednesday July 30 and runs through Sunday August 24.
Gallery to Have New President - Robyn Feeley has agreed to take over the gallery from current president Debbi Green on October 1. “Robyn is one of our hardest working members,” said Ms Green in announcing the change, “She not only has fresh ideas for our group, but wonderful capabilities to do the job with integrity and class.”
Susan Lomino in Art Directors Show - We are proud of our Susan Lomino, who has had four of her paintings accepted in the upcoming Art Directors Guild show. The exhibit is being held in conjunction with Ghettogloss Gallery, and consists of small works by Guild members. “I was able to get 4 pieces into the show, when they asked for only three submissions,” Susan reports. The exhibit runs through July 18 at the Ghettogloss Gallery, 2380 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles. Phone 323-912-0003 or visit www.ghettogloss.com for details.
Gallery Plans Digital Photography Seminar -“Digital Photography for Non-Nerds” will be the title of a seminar to be sponsored later this summer by Topanga Canyon Gallery. The seminar will be open to gallery members and non-members. “As the name suggests, it will be aimed at novices, not experienced photographers, and will cover tips on camera selection and use, necessary accessories, editing and organizing photos and digital terminology, with a free glossary hand-out for each attendee” notes instructor Ken Fermoyle, veteran photographer and Sketchpad editor. Date, location, cost and other details will be announced as plans are finalized.
