Exhibit Review: Artists Janese Hexon and Connie Cantor at the Christine Frechard Gallery in Squirrel Hill

Good to see the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and Kurt Shaw covering the talented work of Pittsburgh artists Janese Hexon and Connie Cantor. I also like the sentiment expressed by gallery owner Christine Frechard: "I'm tired of hearing that there's no collectors here, there's no money here. Great artists from here are exhibiting outside of the city and collectors are buying outside of the city."

The exhibit runs until April 8, 2010.

Tuesday - Saturday: 10:30 AM - 6:00 PM
Sunday: 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The Pittsburgh Art Blog

pittsburgh galleries is reborn anew as The Pittsburgh Art Blog. the blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20, 2007.

pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.

the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh art advocate rick byerly, www.RickByerly.com.

925 Penn Ave Downtown Pittsburgh

Everyone has a story. It’s how we describe ourselves in our minds and to each
other. An image can evoke thousands of words from one instant. What is it about
a look or gesture that speaks volumes? How do we interpret these fractions of
moments? A space can tell a story, too. By entering a room, you are invited to
know the inhabitants. You are invited to see, hear and feel their story.
stories is an exhibit of art-filled interiors inspired by the narratives of our
lives and the meaning we assign to the places we call home. Whether one is
a thrilling mystery, an epic saga or an esoteric poem, a customized home reflects
the lives unfolding there. What’s your story?

stories is also the grand-opening exhibit of Emphasis Interiors, a
new interior design firm specializing in visual art and the creative process.
Stories are meant to be shared. Join us for the events of our first themed
ARTShow or call for a design appointment. Then stay in touch—our next exhibit
will tell a new tale in a different locale!

Orange Balloons, an open studio event

Susan Constanse and Christine Bethea have been sharing a studio space in Bloomfield for the last year. The studio, generally not open to the public, will host other artists in the space for the day. This is a rare opportunity to view new work by local artists.

Susan Constanse is a painter. Her studio presentation will include a range of works from early series as well as new paintings and works on paper. Christine Bethea works primarily with salvaged materials. Some of her masks will be available during the open studio. Other guests will be joining us for the day.

How do you find us? We are near the Bloomfield end of the Bloomfield Bridge, next door to Iron Eden and across the street from Paul Lumber. Look for the orange balloons!
