New Guild Studio Three-Day Holiday Sale December 5 6 7 2008
...
Local Braddock Art Studio Opens Its Doors for Three-Day Holiday Sale
New Guild Studio Inc. is creating night and day for their clients
Braddock, PA - December 5, 6, 7, 2008 - New Guild Studio, located in the recently up and coming artist community of Braddock, PA, is having a soirée for its 4th annual “Last Minute Holiday Art and Trinket Gallery Sale” December 5th, 6th, and 7th. When the ground turns cold and your nose gyres to a delightful shade of blue, New Guild will open its doors to those who are on a hunt for a departure from the norm and who have a burning desire to further their penchant for delivering something inspiring to others.
Started in 1991, the Studio at 700 Braddock Avenue has been privy to the original Braddock art scene and provided refuge for its inhabitants to hone their artistic techniques. New Guild, a compendium of talented artisans who have worked at their trade for many years, is comprised of David, Suzann, and Anton Miriello, and Dave and Mary Korns who will fill their studio with hand made works and fineries. Able to utilize their love of painting and design, New Guild’s members have made a living producing beautiful works of art for clients of many types. Various liturgical clientele, the Pittsburgh Zoo, and Phipps Conservatory are merely a small list of those who patron their work, but this is not the major focus of their sale. Hand-made glass beads, necklaces, hand-hammered aluminum bowls, and delicately assembled, fused and slumped glass dishes, are among a few of the items that will be on hand.
Previously a semi exclusive event, this year they are inviting all to come and explore their art studio. While there guests may partake of a spread of complimentary wine and cheese, and peruse the custom jewelry, Christmas ornaments, professional metal work, original oil paintings, decorative glassware, and other inimitable holiday gifts that will be available for purchase. In an effort to provide out of the ordinary, rare items for the holiday gift giving tradition, each piece at New Guild has been crafted specifically for this event.
So if you have friends with arms itching for something new and flashy that you won’t find anywhere else or your house cries every time you come home with a candy dish from the unnamed mega store, maybe you need something different from New Guild Studio.
This is a once a year happening and when the doors close Sunday night, New Guild will revert back to a full-scale art studio.
Please join us at 700 Braddock Avenue, Braddock, PA 15104.
There will be a preview sale Friday December 5th, 5pm to 8pm.
The main event is happening Saturday December 6th, 10am to 8pm.
Closing is Sunday December 7th, 10am to 3pm.
For more information please e-mail us at: newguildstudio@cs.com

Pittsburgh Art Articles: The Art of Failure and Non-traditional Venues
There are two Pittsburgh Tribune Review art related articles worth checking out and the link to info on the documentary done on Chuck Connelly by Pittsburgh native Jeff Stimmel here.
"The Art of Failure, Chuck Connelly Not For Sale", written by William Loeffler
His name is Chuck Connelly. He may be the greatest Pittsburgh artist you never heard of.
Nearly six years in the making, Stimmel's film paints a portrait of a brilliant and charismatic artist who sabotaged a promising career through hubris, bad business decisions and a seemingly pathological inability to keep his big mouth shut.
....
and "Non-traditional venues can inspire art, or just great performances", written by Alice T Carter
Not all theater takes place in theaters.

Pittsburgh art and it's artists. Spreading the word.
Pittsburgh art and it's artists.
For a half of a day I helped a friend sort out his laptop which had been cluttered with various software and malware and during the process I showed him some artists online I admire, one of whom is Andy Kehoe. I had a feeling my friend would take to his work as well as the work of Kathleen Lolley, formerly of Pittsburgh, PA. I also showed him some digitally manipulated work I did on my website, including the Wrinkled Finkel series, as well as a hodgpodge of digital art. It was good because I hadn't seen some of those images for a while and received some good feedback, while also noting images I need to remove for not being too stellar! Such as it is when you're learning what works and what it takes to get more exposure. Anyways my friend ended up buying a print from Andy Kehoe and has plans to purchase one of mine so all in all a good outcome.
It brings me back to a project still in it's brainstorming stages which needs sufficient feeedback. Actually two separate projects. The first one being very simple and that's providing a free web page for Pittsburgh area artists like this one. The artist would choose the images and the text they want on the page and I would take care of the rest if they didn't want to use eg Frontpage to design their own. They would get a personal url eg www.pghgalleries.com/RickByerly.htm and could be used as a supplement to their own website which I could either design and/or host for a great deal (Hosting at $5 a month if the domain is temporarily transferred to me because that's how I'm able to get a great deal, Website design for $100 and up). The free artist page concept would not compete nor be the same as GPAC's Pittsburgh Artist Registry , which I encourage every "serious" artist to visit and register for, the free web pages I would offer allow more flexibility and offer the option of selling the work online and is not a directory of all artists from the area. The free artist web pages would also play into another project I'm considering doing which involves offering artwork for sale online by Pittsburh area artists.
The domain BuyPittsburghArt.com which is still a shell at this point is something I would like to turn into an online option for Pittsburgh area artists to offer their work of all types of medium for sale where I would handle the transactions and take a reasonable % to cover the effort, say 30%. The artist would just have to send images and descriptions of work for sale and I would handle the rest. While I know an effort like this was tried in the past I see the strategy as very different here. With the Pittsburgh Galleries blog and other online efforts I get a lot of search engine traffic and having enough artists involved who will help create a buzz might produce a different outcome. Also having reasonably priced work will provide a larger audience the ability to afford the work. There is also the Art-iculate effort which I believe is much different in that it tends to be about more expensive work for sale which is great I just think that this project would be more accessible to those who can't fork out big money for art.
Where the two projects come together is that the optional free web page for the artist could have the same work for sale (paypal and credit card enabled) as the BuyPittsburghArt.com. If an artist isn't interested in having their work sold online then they could just opt for the free web page. All the projects would work together as far as exposure and this blog would be a part of it as well.
The key to both efforts involve getting enough feedback and interest from artists otherwise I don't want to invest the time when there may not be enough support to sustain the efforts.
Why shouldn’t artists just use a myspace or similar page they can reference instead of a PghGalleries artist page?
They could but it doesn’t look professional and myspace and other sites are riddled with spam of all kinds. Those sites are designed for a personal nature and it’s layout reflects that. PghGalleries is the perfect place for the artist pages given the number of galleries already visiting the site regularly to check their info and to submit current art events for the blog. The pages will look professional and the images will be edited for optimal viewing to keep the loading time limited as well as edited for exposure and contrast which is necessary when displaying smaller images on the web.
Can anyone say they’re an artist and get a page?
Only artists who submit images where the quality of work can be determined and when relevant what their pricing info is and if they’ve had past exhibits. Past exhibits are definitely not a general prerequisite.
So if you're reading this please send a link of this blog to your artist friends and have them email rick(at)uniquetake.com with feedback. Please also note to add my email address to your safe senders list as my email likes to be blocked by spam traps. Feedback from anyone about anything this blog covers is welcome and encouraged.
Also this is a bit of a rough draft for these ideas so keep that in mind, thanks!

New Giftware Collections Handcrafted by Pittsburgh Artisans
Now Available Year 'Round at The Great Frame Up of Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, Pa Dec 5, 2007 -- Just in time for the holidays, The Great Frame Up in Shadyside has added new gift collections by local artists. These unique finds at this eclectic frame shop & art gallery will now be offered year 'round. Visit them in the Shadyside Village Shopping Center, located at S. Aiken & Walnut, where you’ll be dazzled by a broad array of colorful and interesting merchandise. Word is spreading around town as the featured artists draw in their loyal clients as well. The owners are always interested in meeting accomplished local artists who would like to consider having their merchandise displayed in the storefront - as an outreach to the community at large, and as a support system for the creators to house their work in a beautiful retail store with an accent on art.
Sewickley photographer Cathy Kelly displays a stunning collection of nature photographs, including extreme close-ups of flowers, fall leaves, snow scenes and butterflies. You can buy ready-to-frame prints of these remarkable images, as well as note cards & thank you notes, and her unique ceramic tiles. Carole Brecht, one of the frame shop owners says, “If you see them, you will be captivated by them.”
Perfect for holiday gift giving are large and small, beautiful hand knit scarves in a variety of yarns, and exquisitely crafted gem-stone and Swarovski crystal jewelry pieces, including those by Melinda Neid. Preview many of the colors and styles offered on The Great Frame Up’s website: http://www.pittsburgh.thegreatframeup.com/ .
The new gift collection has something for the Pittsburgh-lover, too. Choose from several one-of-a-kind framed Steeler keepsakes, or browse the pen-and-ink drawings of Pittsburgh city scenes to pair with just the right frame from The Great Frame Up’s vast collection of custom samples or pretty ready-mades. You’ll also find cypress Santas, unusual photographs by Rick Byerly, hand-sewn baby blankets, bibs and toys, and hand dipped chocolates beautifully wrapped. “It’s so exciting to see this much talent and creativity in our community,” Brecht says. “These artists inspire all of us, and it is fun to collaborate with them. I know our clients will enjoy it as well.” Next time you need a unique, one-of-a-kind gift for a friend, relative or neighbor, created by a local artisan, think The Great Frame Up of Pittsburgh, in Shadyside Village at the corner of S Aiken @ Walnut. 412.682.4443 * http://www.pittsburgh.thegreatframeup.com/ * pittsburgh@thegreatframeup.com
