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.

Grossman. “We hope that everyone, including Northwell’s medical and administrative staff, will join us for this reception.”

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.

JUROR
Martha Tarlow, Owner of the Roslyn Village Gallery. Marsha Tarlow was born in Manhattan and grew up on the lower East Side where her parents encouraged an appreciation of the arts and nurtured her love of painting. Marsha opened the Roslyn Village Gallery in 2016 and featured a large exhibit of Myra Fox’s work in 2017.
Of her own art Marsha says, “I believe my paintings speak on a level that makes one feel good. My art is peaceful, inspiring in me a feeling of serenity. If the content is sincere, it will be noticed. To me, painting is like breathing and I often remind myself how lucky I am to be a painter. I don’t believe artistic skill is a natural endowment…you are born with a gift, but the determining factor for an artist is motivation and hard work. It takes intelligence, sensitivity, good teaching and luck to develop artistically.” Her work is in many private collections.
SIZE AND FRAMING Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side. Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame, not the backboard.
