SUMMARY:PD: Jane Carney\, The Art of Hanging Art
DESCRIPTION:PD: Jane Carney – The Art of Hanging Art\n					\n									Watch Recording\n					\n		In this presentation\, we will explore the practical and conceptual considerations behind hanging an exhibition – from piece selection and placement to designing viewer experience. The presentation will review common exhibition types (solo / group shows) and offer practical advice for planning and installation. We will alsc raise critical questions about curatorial authority. Is there really a “correct” way to hang a show?\nAs an art consultant at Boston Art\, Jane approaches curating with a holistic method informed by awareness of contemporary context as well as the values of her clients. Jane has executed a wide variety of projects\, ranging from sensitive healthcare curation to large-scale corporate renovations\, to private clientele seeking to cultivate eclectic and personal collections. Prior to joining Boston Art\, Jane graduated from Sotheby’s Institute of Art with a Master’s Degree in Art Business with a specialization in Contemporary Art. She then worked for Christie’s Auction House in the Impressionist and Modern Art and later as a Cataloguer for 20th Century Design. While earning her undergraduate degree at Simmons University\, Jane worked with a variety of Boston art institutions\, including the Museum of Fine Arts\, the Boston Ballet\, and Fidelity’s Corporate Art Group.

DESCRIPTION:PD: Patricia Romeo – Matting and Framing Your Artwork\nApproaches\, Options\, Opportunities\n					\n									Watch Recording\n					 \nDeciding on framing a work of art that you created as an artist or purchased as an art collector has a tendency to cause some individuals a great deal of indecision\, angst and even procrastination. I will show that there are options and opportunities to matting and framing artwork that doesn’t have to be costly. With a little perseverance and creativity one can find ways to frame their newly acquired art with satisfaction and pride. \nPatricia Romeo Jammalo studied studio art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University where she earned both graduate and post-graduate degrees.

SUMMARY:DEMO: Donna Calleja
DESCRIPTION:Watch Recording\n					 \nDEMO: Donna Calleja\nOctober 25@ 1-3pm \nDonna Calleja creates paintings that are inspired by her observation of light on fruit\, shells and flowers from her home garden. She composes natural forms together for their shape\, color and texture from direct observation and her imagination. She wants to interpret the beauty of light on natural forms and hopes to provide her viewers with a moment of quiet reflection. \nHer painting process begins with a bold underpainting that defines a composition of light and shadow. With close observation she adds layers of color to build texture and detail. She loves the quiet process of seeing the details slowly emerge in her paintings. \nDonna Calleja retired a few years ago from a rewarding career teaching art to high school students. She now loves teaching private adult painting classes and having more time to paint. Her paintings have been on display in recent shows at Nahcotta\, Concord Art\, E. Drumm Designs\, Storefront Art Projects and The South Shore Art Center. Her paintings are created with acrylic paint on panel at her home studio in Watertown\, MA. \nImage: Fig and Lemon\, Acrylic on Panel\, 6 x 6 inches \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84200889399?pwd=eXjtVTaoZLd1urJsaaMAaDy3bZScPa.1Meeting ID: 842 0088 9399Passcode: 630941

SUMMARY:DEMO: Deborah Drummond - Printing with a Gel Plate
DESCRIPTION:DEMO: Deborah Drummond – Printing with a Gel Plate\nJanuary  15@ 7-9pm\nGel plate printing is a low cost and accessible monotype printing process resulting in unique and unexpected effects on papers for collage\, bookmaking\, journaling and mixed media.\nIn this demo\, Deborah will show some of the myriad of ways she employs this mono printing process using water-based paints\, papers and a variety of tools and materials which produce exciting overlays of color and patterns.\nTechniques such as using stencils\, image transfer and mark-making will be discussed\, leading to how she uses these and other found and painted papers in her process for collage work.\nDeborah Drummond is an artist with professional background in illustration and design. In contrast to her professional work\, her art focuses on non-objective abstraction in acrylic and collage/multi media\, exploring visual elements of color and shape and how they create a conversation with each other and as a whole.\nRaised in the a western suburb of Boston she recently relocated and works out of her home studio and Sutton Ma. She teaches her approach in workshops in the NE area. \nTopic: Deborah Drummond Demo: Printing with a Gel PlateTime: Jan 15\, 2026 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85859299626?pwd=Io433lJlzuLbulYISa0lbs062p709H.1 \nView meeting insights with Zoom AI Companionhttps://us02web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid=0ff62e5e-d30f-41ba-93b3-5a40d7d90099 \nMeeting ID: 858 5929 9626Passcode: 464540

SUMMARY:DEMO: Christie Scheele - Painting with Cold Wax
DESCRIPTION:DEMO: Christie Scheele – Painting with Cold Wax\nJanuary  22@ 7-9pm \n					\n									Watch Recording\n					 \nMy intentions for the demo are to show the progression of steps in how I attain my technique. We will begin with an assessment of my reference photo and then move on to color mixing and critiquing the palette followed by brush technique\, laying the paint in on top of the dark ground. Over the two hours\, the composition will coalesces while we discuss color\, edge\, shape\, and directionality\, content\, and mood. \nChristie Scheele began painting her atmospheric\, minimalist landscapes just before moving to the Catskills from New York City in 1990. She is an exhibiting artist of over forty years in multiple galleries nationwide. Scheele’s work is also included in private and public collections nationwide and internationally. \n																														 \nTopic: Christie Scheele Art Demo: Painting in Cold WaxTime: Jan 22\, 2026 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)Join Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89876766884?pwd=mB3U4KZutiS1Gl0m4TuvrHsHFeZHUX.1 \nView meeting insights with Zoom AI Companionhttps://us02web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid=58190bc9-ea93-4ac1-aa65-c7da85a2ed18 \nMeeting ID: 898 7676 6884Passcode: 000096

SUMMARY:PD: Casey Curry - Arts Marketing: Why visibility with intention makes your work stronger
DESCRIPTION:PD: Casey Curry – Arts Marketing: Why visibility with intention makes your work stronger\n					\n									Watch Recording\n					 \nThis presentation explores arts marketing\, not as a promotional afterthought\, but as an extension of your studio practice itself. Through writing proposals\, newsletters\, social media posts\, and website copy\, artists are continually clarifying their thinking—testing language\, refining intention\, and tracing the evolution of their work over time. We’ll discuss strategies for making the most of your promotional efforts\, not simply to gain visibility\, but also to create stronger\, more polished and intentional work while deepening your engagement with your ideas and fostering meaningful opportunities for feedback and collaboration. \nBio \nCasey is a writer\, curator\, and collaboration expert with more than 15 years of experience working with artists and arts institutions. With degrees in English\, Art History\, and Nonprofit Management\, she has managed exhibitions\, built professional development programs\, and is passionate about helping artists leverage their vision in aligned and authentic ways. \nShe founded Casey Can in 2021 after completing graduate research on the institutional and funding histories behind major land art projects in the American Southwest. Wanting to work directly with artists—yet facing pandemic-era hiring freezes—she began offering done-for-you writing and promotion services to artists she had met through her gallery and institutional work. \nIn the years since\, she has supported more than 50 artists across the US and abroad. Their diverse needs inspired the creation of the Artist Support Retainer\, which distills the strategies and structures that have proven most transformative\, and led her to build a specialized team to deliver them.

SUMMARY:DEMO: Alexis Lavine - Design and Paint a Vignette
DESCRIPTION:DEMO: Alexis Lavine – Design and Paint a Vignette\nFebruary  26@ 7-9pm \nAlexis Lavine loves to teach\, to share her many decades of making art\, and to show people how she works. Along her journey through life and her pathway through art\, she has succeeded in reaching her biggest and most challenging goal of all\, by achieving signature status in both the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. She still has to pinch herself\, when she thinks about that! She has earned some other signature memberships in other watercolor societies\, found galleries to represent her work\, and she has won some nice awards for her paintings … but she thinks it is kind of boring and bragging to read a list of them. Instead she wants to let her work speak for itself. And she will speak for herself too\, when she meets with you in February. She is looking forward to seeing you then! \nDESIGN & PAINT A VIGNETTE! \nDon’t we love the look of a pristine\, sparkling\, white sheet of watercolor paper? A vignette is a painting that does not fill every square inch of our paper. It leaves some areas\, usually in the corners\, unpainted\, and we can celebrate our beautiful watercolor paper by leaving it revealed in this way. \nAlexis is a watercolor painter\, but this subject\, and the principles behind it\, can be utilized by ALL painters\, using ALL media! \nIn this demo\, you will see Alexis create an image\, which ties into the edges of the paper\, seamlessly interlocking with untouched sections of white paper near the corners and the borders. Choosing a vignette format can be a clever way to deal with certain problematic subjects\, and it can result in paintings which are even more captivating and dynamic than paintings which fill up the complete rectangle. Creating a successful vignette depends on substantial principles\, thoughtful designing\, and inventive use of values\, colors\, and edges. Alexis will give you valuable instruction\, lots of great ideas\, and plenty of inspiration\, as to how to use this format. \nHere are some example of vignettes. Notice how Alexis has left areas of beautiful white paper\, interlocking them with the painted areas of her image. Join Alexis for an evening of energizing\, encouraging\, and valuable instruction. You’ll have ideas and plans to keep you painting for a long time! \n\n\n\n\nAlexis Lavine\, AWS\, NWSVisit my website here: alexislavineartist.com \nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86476400798?pwd=DZwxBFROsbsuyHon480uUyIGNlZnyT.1Meeting ID: 864 7640 0798Passcode: 080627
