World’s Fair Art Online.

The folks at Shadow’s Space have been gracious enough to post an online gallery for the World’s Fair Art Show. If you haven’t had a chance to see the show yet you should definitely check it out here. Should you see something you like you can inquire about it via email at shadowsgallery@gmail.com.
The show will be up for another month as will the online gallery, so all of you with a blog, facebook or an awesome email list please spread the word and feel free to post the link.

Some clarity in the Blogosphere.

Sifting through the PR that the World’s Fair Art Show has received over the last couple of weeks I came across this bit posted on Phrequency.com’s blog:

“Concetta Barbera and Patch’s curated World’s Fair Art Show might lack the worldliness for the comparison to the 1933 World’s Fair in Chicago, which they were shooting for in the press release, especially since this show is heavy on local illustrators.”

Now I don’t make it habit to respond to every misprint or misquote, especially on the internet. But I felt obliged to stand up for my international brothers and sisters that submitted all their work a week early and braved the Post Office in order to guarantee delivery on time. I have posted a correction on their blog (sorry for the late response) and I thought I might post the links to our friends from overseas so you can take a gander.

Thanks again to everyone that participated, I think you are all rather “worldly”.
More kewl stuff to be posted soon!

Post Opening Update.

Just wanted to let everyone know about the successful opening of the World’s Fair Art Show. There were a lot of people on hand and a bunch of sales to boot. Nikki Sneakers stated that our show was “One of the most successful in the gallery’s history.” Concetta and I would like to thank all of the artists for their brilliant contributions and everyone in attendance for showing their support. And don’t frown if you were unable to attend, we have posted a ton of pics on our new Flickr account and there is an online gallery here that will be updated with even more images in the days that follow. You can also inquire about the work at contact@shadowsspace.com

Also, we are working on another gathering at the space before the show comes down at the end of December. Keep your eyes peeled for more info on that event in the next few days.
