Take it to HEART
Everyone is a winner with LottoHEART, an art lottery benefiting CAMP Rehoboth—a non-profit, gay and lesbian community service organization, originally developed to “Create A More Positive” relationship among all the people of the Rehoboth Beach area. The event, organized by NK Gallery artist Sondra Arkin, gives you the opportunity to own a post-card sized work of art created by one of 200 participating artists. Here are the details:
As part of the Whole Lotta Love Weekend (July 3-4, 2009) at CAMP Rehoboth in Rehoboth Beach, DE, over 200 artists have created postcard-sized works of art, each for sale for $100. Among the artists, over 15% are represented in museums or major collections, and they reside in 10 states as far away as CA and FL with 78 residing fulltime in DE. With established artists alongside emerging artists, anyone could walk away with a fantastic bargain — will you?
VISIT THE WEB GALLERY!
Use our online tool to create your Favorites' List — and with a little mouse action, rank them into your top 20 (or so) and print it out. Bring it with you to the event so that you can keep track of which art is top of your list and if it is still available when the time comes for the lottery. It's fast, did we say that?? really fast. Visit here.
On July 4th, we'll add the artists' names so you will know who did what.
PREVIEW PARTY - JUNE 27th
A preview party honoring the artists and exhibiting the LottoHEART works will be held at CAMP Rehoboth (37 Baltimore Avenue, Rehoboth Beach, DE) on Saturday, June 27th from 4-6pm. The preview is free and open to the public.

AAF Recap
We are back from the Affordable Art Fair NYC! Thank you to everyone, NYC and DC friends, who stopped by booth A-300. I thought I’d share some pictures of our little corner. Do you know how challenging it is to hang a 120 square foot space with the work of seven artists?
Laura looking lovely with Sondra Arkin’s “Plumbing My Inner Pink” The big excitement for the weekend was a visit by a certain celeb who tells people what not to wear. She walked away with a Mary Chiaramonte painting under her arm. We still have quite a bit of work that we exhibited at AAF, so if something catches your eye, don’t hesitate to contact us.
A special thanks to Nora Weiss, daughter of the talented Ellyn Weiss, for helping us out for the weekend while yours truly was in FL.
