Artomatic is a month-long art festival in DC that is free to the general public celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Monument Realty and the Capitol Riverfront BID have provided a brand-new 275,000 square foot building to host Artomatic, right next to the Nationals Stadium. The event features nine floors of visual and installation art, theater performances, dance and comedy, three music stages, street performances such as fire dancing and drum troupes, and a film screening theater. Workshops and seminars are held all month long and special events such as the Washington Post's Peeps diorama finalists, the Zombie Prom, Box Racing, body paint shows, and a no-holds-barred Art in Fashion Show.

With four stages, four bars and a lounge on each floor, the 10th Anniversary Artomatic is bigger than ever. 52,500 people attended Artomatic last year, and 70,000 are expected this year. Over 1,000 visual artists and 600 performing artists are exhibiting this year.

Strikingly beautiful in their rich velvety toning, they capture the character and seasonal richness of trees, ponds and fallen leaves from the Eastern Shore to Washington’s Kenilworth Gardens to the artist’s hometown of Columbia, Md."

Keep checking back....more great work from many visual, literary, and performing artists appearing on the Baker Artist Awards website!



WELCOME to the Baker Artist Awards

Artists are invited to nominate themselves for the 2008 Baker Artist Awards consisting of the privately juried Mary Sawyers Baker Prize and the voter selected Baltimore's Choice. The process is designed to open the nominations to the broadest possible community participation using the Web. The William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund intends the Baker Artist Awards website to be an ongoing exhibition, archive and definitive statement about Baltimore as a creative richness and vitality as place to live and community that values its individual artists.

MARY SAWYERS BAKER PRIZE

Mary Sawyers Baker established the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund in 1964 to honor her husband. In 2008, the William G Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund Trustees honor Mary Sawyers Baker for her long involvement with and devotion to the arts. Mary Sawyers Baker studied voice as a young girl in Paris, embraced her love of travel for travel and the arts throughout her life until settling into her role as one of Baltimore's early philanthropists. A significant prize to individual artists of any discipline, emerging and established artists in a given year, with no strings attached, is a statement with meaning. Mary Sawyers Baker knew that it is the artists who give institutions purpose. Up to three individual artists could be awarded the $20,000 prize. Jurors for the Mary Sawyers Baker Prize will consider the top finalists selected by voters in Baltimore's Choice.

BALTIMORE'S CHOICE

Baltimore's Choice is an opportunity for the general public to vote and show their appreciation for the artists' work presented on the site. The more involved a member of the public becomes in exploring the various artists' projects on the site, then more votes can be earned and more votes cast. Votes can be cast for several artists and votes can be changed up until the deadline. Voting begins on November 1st and the prize or prizes will be awarded in March, 2009. Baltimore's Choice will award $5000 to artists from among the most popular selected by voters. Artists who receive the most votes in Baltimore's Choice will be among the artists considered for the Mary Sawyers Baker Prize.



Check the website out, vote, and comment.........

Make art count in this community-wide effort!

Ellicott City, MD – Art MD 2008 is open at the Howard County Center for the Arts in Ellicott City. The Howard County Arts Council’s biennial juried exhibit features works by 48 artists residing in Maryland or surrounding regions within a 100-mile radius of the Center’s location in Ellicott City.

Juror Dr. Lesley King-Hammond, Graduate Dean, Emeritus, Director Center for Race and Culture at Maryland Institute College of Art selected works from approximately 360 images submitted by 132 artists. Selected artists include: James Adkins, Joan Bevelaqua, Bruce Blum, Nicole Buckingham, Winnie Coggins, Aline Feldman, Nancy Linden, Diana Marta, Chad Marth, Heidi Praff, Ron van Delden, Sarah Wegner, and Stan Wenocur.

ART MD 2008 is the eighteenth multi-media statewide juried exhibit sponsored by the Howard County Arts Council. The exhibit began in 1984 as Maryland’s Best, which was an annual show through 1989 open to all Maryland artists. In 1990, when the show became a biennial, its name was changed to ART MD. Since the Baltimore Museum of Art ended its Maryland biennial exhibits in the early 1990s, ART MD has been a premier juried showcase for artists in the region. In 2000, ART MD expanded to include Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania in addition to Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C.

An exhibit reception will be held at the Center in conjunction with the Howard County Arts Council’s Annual Open House and Holiday Sale on the evening of December 5 from 6-8PM. At 6:30PM, Dr. Lesley King-Hammond will make brief remarks about ART MD 2008 and announce her juror’s awards. A minimum of $1,000 will be awarded.

ART MD 2008


Applications are now available for ART MD 2008 through September 2, 2008. This is a biennial juried exhbit, which features pieces from artists, 18 years or older, residing in Maryland or within 100-mile radius of the Howard County Arts Council. Artists can submit up to three works. Guest juror Dr. Leslie King-Hammond, Ph.D., Graduate Dean Emeritus, Director of the Center for Race and Culture, Maryland Institute of ART, will select work to be exhbited October 31 to December 12, 2008.

The exhibits program at the Howard County Center for the Arts was established to enhance the public's appreciation of the visual arts, to provide a professional venue to exhibit the work of local and regional artists, and to provide leadership in the arts by presenting a broad spectrum of visual arts in all media, both traditional and contemporary. Exhibits are free and open to the public. The program showcases the work of local, regional and national artists - emerging and established - working in all media.

Eight to ten exhibits are presented annually. Artists and curators interested in having their work presented are asked to submit images and proposals for consideration. Exhibits are selected and presented in the context of multi-disciplinary, thematic, juried and invitational exhibits. This broad curatorial approach ensures that the program presents diverse artistic viewpoints while meeting the needs of the community.

Millennium Arts Salon opens its 2008-2009 season with A Conversation with Mary Anne Rose about “Gentry and Friends”, Saturday, September 13, 6-8pm at Millennium Arts Salon, 1213 Girard St NW, Washington, DC.


Millennium Arts Salon’s series, It’s All About Art, continues, this year with the theme “Between East and West”, referring not only to the east and west borders of the continental US, but extending further east and west to Europe and Asia. As in the past, It’s All About Art will encompass a focus on visual and performing arts and arts and letters.

MAS is pleased to kick off its new season with this exciting and important salon. Herbert Gentry’s influence as an artist crosses many borders. Gentry was born and raised in Harlem, NY, where he became grounded in the rich cultural influences of the Harlem Renaissance. He enriched his artistic prowess through his explorations in Paris, Copenhagen, and Stockholm, settling during the 2nd half of his life to a dual habitation in New York City and Malmo, Sweden. As Parish Gallery noted, “Gentry’s friendships illuminate his movement through the world; they were part of his rich experiences.” Enjoy this magnificent exhibit of Gentry’s work surrounded by his friends, many giants in the contemporary art world (Romare Bearden, Ed Clark, Beauford Delaney, Bill Hutson, Lois Mailou Jones, Richard Mayhew, Sam Middleton, Rachelle Puryear, and Vincent Smith, to name a few) at Parish Gallery extended through September 13. Then join us at Millennium Arts Salon the evening of September 13 for an intimate conversation with artist Mary Anne Rose, Gentry’s wife and confidant for over 25 years. Mary Anne’s salon will include slides of some of the works on view in the Parish exhibition as well as a book signing of the newly released Herbert Gentry: the Man, the Master, the Magic, published by G. R. N’Namdi Gallery.

This event is FREE and open to the public.
This event is jointly sponsored by Millennium Arts Salon and Parish Gallery
