Hello you wonderful people. I miss you all. 

Summer Omaha Artists, Inc. Art Show "The Art of Nature" 

Location: Lauritzen Botanical Gardens
Registration: Wednesday, July 29, 11-1 pm 
Reception: Sunday, August 2, 2-4 pm 
Take Down: Sunday, September 20, 2-4pm 

This show will take place IF Lauritzen Gardens actually opens before then. And if we do have the show, we will most likely have many new precautions in place to make sure we all stay safe from this crazy virus. All of this will be worked out with Lauritzen, our Art Show committee, and our presiding officers. Watch for an upcoming email in June to let you know how the art show will work, as far as taking in paintings, registrations , etc. 

In the meantime, keep painting!

This show at the Gardens needs to have nature as its focus, in some way or shape. 

If things return to normal, the next show after that would be in October in Fremont at Gallery 92, with the theme that would have been for our cancelled Spring Show at Hot Shops, which was "Shadows". 

Please stay tuned - at this point everything is up in the air. But keep creating - that's what artists do!

Chillin' Winter Art Show Follow-up

Juror’s notes: (Hal Holoun's critique of our show at the Jewish Community Center)

In this exhibition, I enjoyed the diverse approaches in the artists’ works, including the various art mediums as well as the many different approaches and statements in their art.

In judging an exhibition, I do my best to be objective (though this is probably not humanly possible) and try not to seek out works or mediums that I "like," or styles of art that I prefer to view. This exhibit was "open" in that it didn't break down the entries into distinct categories. I think this was a good idea since, as one views the exhibit, there are works that blur the line between distinct categories. This also encourages artists to "think outside the box" and perhaps experiment with new approaches that might lead to new discoveries of self-expression.

Paintings or sculptures have to deal with plants or flora of some type – a tree, a flower, a vegetable, a landscape (that has something green in it). Lauritzen takes a 25% commission.

The Fall Art Show will be in October at the Fremont Art Gallery, Gallery 92. Look for more info in the next newsletter!
