culturehall at NADA

I'm staying here in Brooklyn, but for those of you headed to the fairs in Miami, please visit David Andrew Frey at NADA. He will be sharing information about culturehall from December 2nd - 5th.

We have reviewed applications for culturehall's first New Artists Feature scheduled to publish on December 15th. David and I were impressed by the number and quality of applications from around the world, and it was hard to select only four artists for the feature issue from such an amazing group of applicants working in various media. We're excited to contact selected artists soon and hope others will consider applying again.

Thank you to all of the artists who applied. We are sincerely moved by and grateful for your interest in culturehall.

The Heal Dara G Online Art Auction

I've donated a small print of Highway, 2003 to The Heal Dara G Online Art Auction, a fundraiser to support friend and artist/activist, Dara Greenwald, while she heals from a recent diagnosis of cancer. Dara and her partner Josh’s community across the country have been organizing to raise money to help them through recovery. The goal is to raise enough funds for them to live worry free throughout 2011.

The auction will take place online from Monday November 29th – Sunday December 5th. The winning bidders will receive their work directly from the donating artists.

Please see more information about the auction at: About Heal Dara G
