    NewTV features Local Artists – The Small Stage: Still Life, Part II

    NewTV Gallery Opening with Sharon Schindler Photography

    Who even knew that NewTV had a art gallery? I certainly didn’t. But they do – just outside the offices -and showcase many talented local artists (previously featured artists include Marian Dioguardi and Coleman Rogers) and save the date for the Gallery Reception of The Small Stage: Still Life, Part II on July 18th, 7-9 pm.

    Featuring Local Artists – Sharon Schindler, Emily Sper, Jeffrey Hayes, Amy Kaufman, Jeanne Gugino, Jessamyn Martin, Douglas Weisman, and Myra Abelson.

    This is a great way to see these artists in a casual setting. You can also see Sharon Schindler’s work in the lobby of the Newton North High School (there is a beautiful photo of the old Newton North printed on birch wood just outside the main office) and some gorgeous photos of Israel at Temple Reyim on Washington Street, Newton.

    Save the Date!

    Please join us for a wine and cheese reception at NewTV as we celebrate our newest exhibit, The Small Stage: Still Life, Part II. Presented by Newton Open Studios, and curated by Ellen Fisher. Eight artists from Newton Open Studios explore the still life format, presenting a varied and delightful sampling that challenges preconceived notions of the genre. These still lifes often peer into unusual places, occasionally verge on abstraction, and tackle both conventional and unexpected subjects. Exhibit runs through August 20.

    From the website:

    At the NewTV Art Gallery, we offer a moment to reflect upon a photo, painting, collage, or any frameable medium. We encourage local, emerging and established artists to submit work for one of our quarterly group or solo exhibits, art openings, and on-line exposure. Work is for sale, with pricing established by the individual artists. Please support our state of the Arts!

    More art in store for Newton residents! You know those really ugly utility boxes? Well, they won’t be unsightly for long – The NewtonSERVES BoxART Project is here! I am so excited – I noticed in Boston that artists had taken over the Utility boxes and thought it was a great idea – so did someone else!

    The goal of the NewtonSERVES BoxART project is to transform common, bland, green or gray utility boxes into visual, graphic and distinctive works of art. DPW, the Mayor’s Office for Cultural Affairs and Newton Community Pride have joined forces to collaborate on and to promote this pilot program.

    The NewtonSERVES BoxART Committee encourages artists (students as well as experienced artists) to share their creativity with the community. Vibrant public art creates an inviting environment and a sense of place. “We seek artwork that ‘enlarge, enliven and enlighten’ our experience of the world. The images chosen should offer some positive benefit – delight, fantasy, sociability, amenity, memories, healing emotion or a sense of joy… a sense of well-being.”

    The NewtonSERVES BoxART Committee is seeking proposals that are positive, original and creative and may (but are not required) to reflect the following:

    • The immediate environment creating a sense of place – Newton/village
    • The character and culture of Newton
    • The history of Newton
