Upcoming show : Find Way with artist William Paul Gaetjens

William Paul Gaetjens was born in Long Beach, CA, in 1946, to a family with a long tradition of working in metal. An early interest in art led to a creative mastery of the medium, with studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts and The DeYoung Museum School. In the 1970's, he worked as an iron worker on the Alaskan Pipeline. This real world experience influences his art today.

new design release : stone with featured artist Jaume Pinya

Heavybubble has released a new design called stone.

The new design includes a text option on the gallery opener. Artist Jaume Pinya of Majorca, Spain uses it to provide an description in both Catalan and English. The gallery view uses a smaller view of an entire art work. Each gallery screen contains only four images/works and includes links to the next and previous four images. The design centers in browser window.

Mr Pinya cleverly used a gallery opener to create a statement screen that included two photos.

Drum roll please.

Our get smart. promotion with Maryann Devine of smArts & Culture was great fun. it turned out that the entries were so cool and creative, we couldn’t pick just one.

EXHIBITION: Inside/Outside at City Hall, Philadelphia

Inside / Outside is about art in the context of crime and incarceration. Prison art inevitably opens a dialogue about crime and punishment, public safety and a myriad of issues related to the criminal justice system. While welcoming this conversation, this Art In City Hall exhibition primarily explores art that comes from the most desperate of places – a form of art “outside” of the mainstream and created within confinement — art from “inside”.

SPREAD THE WORD: Tips on publicity and promotion for artists

Join us at Philadelphia Open Studio Tours ARTIST workshop. We'll explain our software service and how we designed it to be of maximum benefit to artists. We'll answer questions and give tips on how to use your website and social networking to your advantage.
