I am pleased to announce that I will be participating in the Belmar Arts Center's show  "Summer Solstice: A Seasonal Artisan Craft Market".  It runs for about six weeks, starting Saturday,  June 25th and lasting until Saturday, August 6th.  I will have an assortment of my shore and flower photographs for sale, with framed and matted images in sizes 5 x 7 and 8 x 10, and also a large variety of my very popular cards. There will be a nice assortment of work by other artists for sale, including jewelry, glassware, basketworks, and watercolor and oil paintings and drawings. If you in the area, please stop and check it out!! 

Belmar is a great place to visit any time of year, but especially in the summer, and the BAC Center, on 608 River Road, is a wonderful place to stop and get the perfect keepsake or hanging for your home.  The center is open every day, except Mondays, from 10 am to 5 pm. 

Speaking of selling, I am pleased to note that the photograph I submitted to Art All Night 2016 (AAN) has sold! It is titled "Mariana" (pictured above).  AAN is a wild, huge exhibit that just celebrated its 10th year at the historic Roebling Center in the heart of Trenton, New Jersey.  It started at 3 pm on Saturday, July 18th and ran until 3 pm on Sunday, June 19--without stop!   Every type of art imaginable  was on display inside the center and much of it was for sale.  Some was conventional, but much of it was more edgy and contemporary. Outside there were a succession of rock bands, and a nice variety of food trucks.  There were also artisans in abundance, including glass artists, graffiti artists, and circus performers to name a few. The height of the night was the metal poor, where iron ore was melted and poured in to small molds to create keepsakes. It was an extremely vivid scene after the sun went down, which is when the show really got cranking!  The show is over now, but if you get the chance to go next year, you should go.  You might even see one of my pieces!
