NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RELEASE (Wynnewood, PA April 28, 2011) The public is invited to an Artists' Reception on May 12 from 5 to 7 PM at Alchemy and Intent, the magical combination of personal vision and paint and print science, an exhibit of paintings and works on paper at the Philadelphia Board of Ethics, 1441 Sansom St, 2nd floor, Philadelphia, PA. This exhibit closes May 31, 2011. Meet the five local artists, Bobbie Adams, Rachel Citrino, Linda Dubin Garfield, Pia De Girolamo, and Tom Hlas, who create abstract works that present perspectives and responses to their physical, emotional, and social surroundings. They explore memory. They watch and experience and listen, and they interpret. They document the essence of what they see around them. They document their responses to what they see around them. They each intend to capture the feeling or idea of a place or event or circumstance. They experiment with material. They observe and distill, and translate, and then they put down mark on mark, line on line, image on image, like chemists at the cauldron….please enjoy their artworks for what you imagine there, or for the sheer pleasure of seeing. Since 2009, the offices of the Board of Ethics have had an Art in the Office Program. The work of Ed Bronstein, a Philadelphia artist and architect, began the initiative in April 2009 with a collection entitled "Home and Away." His work was followed by the wonderful work of Nancy Bea Miller and several other artists. In November 2010, Linda Dubin Garfield, president of smART business consulting, was given the opportunity to organize and curate exhibits in the space. She has offered opportunities to established as well as emerging local artists who have participated in the shows in the office space. The many visitors to the space are beneficiaries of the exceptional talent displayed there and the artists are happy for people to see their work. It is a win-win situation. "It is better to have the art on the walls than in my studio where no one would be seeing it," says Tom Hlas, a painter from Northern Liberties. "The art community is happy to have a new venue available for showing work to the public, especially when galleries are closing in this economy." smART business consulting offers business solutions for artists to reach their goals and their audience through individual consulting and coaching, small support groups and seminars as well as providing venues to exhibit art to public both virtually online (web design and social media) and in reality (exhibitions in galleries and other public venues.)
