Help Needed in Artists Search

Woodland Depths by the late Marguerite Doernbach, Collection of Mercer County

Hopefully, you've all saved the date (July 9, 6-9 pm at ARTWORKS in Trenton, NJ) for the gala exhibit and celebration of Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission's 40th Anniversary. We've been working hard to inventory the collection and search out artists. They're all over the map: California, Maine, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Colorado, New Mexico, Nice (France), Manhattan...But some are still missing. As a last ditch attempt to locate these people, I'm posting the names of folks we been unable to get current contact information for. If you know any of them, please have them email their contact information to tfagan@mercercounty.org so they can receive their invitations. (PH=photo, Pr=print, A=painting) Thanks for your help with this.

FIGMENT Festival this weekend!!!

Thanks to both Ellen Hackl Fagan (whose incredible Reverse Color Organ installation in The Listening Eye exhibit wowed visitors here at The Gallery back in 2005) and Cindy Stockton Moore (Dangerous Women Two [DW2] participant and an amazing artist and instructor) who each have work in this weekend’s FIGMENT Festival. Their invitations reminded me that the 3rd annual version of this AMAZING event takes place this weekend, June 12-14th. Some of the installations will remain on view as 'City of Dreams', an interactive sculpture garden and the artstop Mini-Golf course through October 11, 2009.

The music/art/performance/installation/anything goes happening takes place across New York City’s historic Governor’s Island. The ferry to the island is free -- as are all of the events - which feature 400+ artists and include everything from performance art to mini-golf.

Ellen's holding forth at location AW05 with her process art workshop, The Alphabet Game. Cindy and fellow DW2 artist Abby Goodman’s found-object sculpture Salvage will be on display in the City of Dreams sculpture garden through October. Cindy plans on being there on Friday. Cindy and Abby documented much of their process in creating Salvage, and you can check it out on Cindy’s site www.cindystocktonmoore.com/figment.html
