Wallflowers Exhibit at Northwell Health, Lake Success
October 16, 2018 – April 28, 2019
Closing Reception April 28, 3-5 pm
This exhibit features most of the works from the Wallflowers Exhibit which was on view in the galleries at Elderfields in September 2018. The exhibit focuses on the beauty of flowers – from big lush peonies and perfect roses to the smallest snowdrops and dandelions, few things evoke more memories or encompass more symbolism. We long for the first flowers of spring in our gardens and they commemorate special occasions and holidays throughout the year. Artists depicted rolling meadows, formal gardens, a single bud in a vase or enough to fill a room.
The Art Guild and Northwell Health invite the public to the closing reception for the Wallflowers Exhibition on Sunday, April 28, from 3:00-5:00 pm at Northwell Health’s new Center Street Hallway of the Center for Advanced Medicine, 450 Lakeville Road, Lake Success, NY.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring a little color and joy to the patients, their loved ones and the hardworking staff at Northwell Health.” said The Art Guild’s Executive Director, Lisa K. Grossman. “We hope that everyone, including Northwell’s medical and administrative staff, will join us for this reception.”
The exhibit, features 76 artworks by 52 artists, adds cheer and color to the hallway with a virtual garden of beautiful blooms, buds and blossoms in a variety of mediums. Artists included in the show are: Margaret Andres, Diane Bares, Katrina Benson, Caryn Coville, Aleta Crawford, Christine D’Addario, Kathy D’Amato-Smith, Anahi DeCanio, Maryanne Driscoll, Patty Eljaiek, Simon Fenster, Phyllis Gildston, Jill Gleicher, Mayra Guillen, Heather Heckel, Lois Hellman, Susan Herbst, Susan R.

CALL FOR ENTRIES The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit artworks for consideration for “Abstraction, What Is True For You?” a Juried Competition and Exhibition.
“Making art precipitates self-doubt, stirring deep waters that lay between you and what you know you should be, and what you feel you might be.” – Art and Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland.
There are so many kinds of abstract painting – works that emanate from deep within – paintings that are all about design, repetition, color, texture, scale. Where does your Abstract work originate? Is it from fragments of a dream, a remembered time or an unknown place? How do you choose your colors or do your colors choose you? Show us what is true for you.
Criteria All styles from non-objective to abstracted realism are welcome. All works must be original to the artist and painted within the past five years. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from November 26, 2018 – January 7, 2019.
MEDIUMS Including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, collage, encaustic, etching/prints or sculpture with pedestal. No photography. (NO COPIES, REPRODUCTIONS OR GICLEES.)

Call for Artists: RED! Vibrance, Passion & Beauty Feb. 2-24, 2019
CALL FOR ENTRIES The Art Guild invites all artists, 18 years and older (high school students ages 14-18 years may enter in the student category), to submit artworks for consideration for “RED! Vibrance, Passion & Beauty,” a Juried Competition and Exhibition. A color of nuances and contradictions, RED, in all its hues, always stands out and makes us take notice. Pink carnations, a red barn, the red velvet box of Valentine’s chocolates, a red hot flame, the scarlet of an autumn leaf, or a red pair of shoes all evoke a spectrum of emotions and ideas. Show us your passion for the vibrant beauty of RED in “Heart Month”!
CRITERIA All styles from abstract to realism are welcome. All works must be original, and have been created in the last five years. The selection committee’s decision is final. Works to be included in this exhibition must be available from January 27 – February 24, 2019. DEADLINE: FRIDAY, January 11.
MEDIUMS Including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, collage, encaustic, etching/prints, or sculpture with pedestal. (NO COPIES, PHOTOGRAPHY, DIGITAL MANIPULATIONS, REPRODUCTIONS OR GICLEES.)
JUROR Patti Mollica believes that truly great painting is not about the “subject matter,” but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is painted. Flowers, gardens and sunsets are no more worthy as painting subjects than a subway station full of weary commuters, or a closeup of an old rundown building with cascading fire escapes. Patti is has authored several books, Modern Acrylics, Color Theory and Getting Started in Acrylics, available in art stores worldwide and online at Amazon.com. For more about Patti, please visit her website: mollicastudio.com
