Dual Review - Live Artist Demo and Gallery Review
Location: 632 Washington rd
Dates: Friday June 2nd, 2006
Artist: Joe Sendek
Quality Of Art (scale of 1 to 10): varying 8-9
Uniqueness and Originality: varying 8-10
Quality of Artist Demonstration: 9
Use Of Space (Gallery): Creative - the kind of shop you would see interior decorators scouting for new and trendy artwork for clients.
Summary: Gallery style - original, easy to get around, not over cluttered, and very easy to inspect items. Use of demo space for Joe Sendek was also good as it did not interfere with other people browsing in gallery. Joe did an excellent job in keep both adults and children interested in his demo. As I said in the event posting, it is always amazing to see a good artist at work, especially when they take their time to really show you “how it’s done”. If Joe demos or even teaches at this gallery again .... rain or shine, my advice is to not miss him.
As far as the gallery itself, I would keep an eye on the place. The artwork, unless an original, never to be made again piece, is all affordably priced (even for people that don’t own a Lexus). All the pieces are high quality and original in creativity.
Note: SWB did actually purchase items in this gallery. Put this place on your “gallery hopping” list.
