ATTENTION LOCAL ARTISTS
Enter the Scan Design Fourth Annual Fall In Furniture Love Art Contest for a chance to win a Scan Design leather chair and to have your work shown to over 300,000 viewers in a Florida Design Magazine ad.
Scan Design is the Southeast’s leader in quality, contemporary furniture and a long time supporter of the arts. Last year we received over 300 entries from artists from around the state who created their interpretation of what it means to “Fall In Furniture Love”. We are hopefully going to have a bigger response this year.
Scan Design is looking for your own artistic interpretation of “Fall in Furniture Love”. Choose your medium: Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Multi-Media, Glass, etc. to show us how you interpret “Fall in Furniture Love”. We ask that you create a piece that is unique for this event and has a furniture related theme/angle. And have fun!

RHONDA BRISTOL EXHIBITING @ B.J. SPOKE GALLERY IN NY

b.j.spoke gallery 299 Main Street Huntington, NY 11743

Artist’s Choice Exhibition

On view from Tuesday, February 2nd until Thursday, February 25th, 2010
Reception for Artists Choice is on Saturday, February 6th from 2-4 pm …
Poetry reading from the book Paumanok from 4:30pm – 6pm


b. j. spoke’s show this coming month will compare and contrast artists’ interpretations of subject matter and styles. For example b .j. spoke’s member Katherine Criss invited Rhonda Bristol to exhibit with her. These two artists met in painting class at the High School of Music & Art and have remained dedicated to their love of art and for exploring human emotions. Ms. Criss’ Webbed Man conveys the deliberateness and mystery of city life, while Ms. Bristol’s Body Language – Stressed Patience reflects a vulnerable young woman. Rhonda and Katherine treat the same subject – people -- very differently. This show is another community outreach as b .j. spoke’s members invite artists they respect and admire to join them.

Unseen Urban Life series: “ Webbed Man “

Rhonda Bristol’s painting from
Ghana series: “Body Language – Stressed Patience”
