I am please to let you know that I will be part of a two person wood fired ceramics show with Meg Beaudoin at Art Centro Gallery.
The opening reception is on Saturday, November 5th from 4 to 6 PM.
Heads up, a friend just tipped me off to this... deadline is Sept 30. GREAT opportunity for a number of us! (No prior installation experience necessary!)MTA Arts & Design seeks images of artists’ previous work to review in consideration for new Percent for Art projects to be fabricated in durable materials to be determined, such as porcelain enamel, glass, or mosaic. An approved fabricator will translate the final artwork design into the identified medium, therefore an artist’s prior experience, or lack thereof, with these materials will not be taken into consideration when reviewing images.The budget for design and fabrication of the artwork for each subway station is approximately $150,000, including an artist fee of up to 20% of the final art project cost. As part of this fee, the selected artist will be required to submit a budget, produce completed designs, select a fabricator and oversee the fabrication and installation of the artwork, with project management by MTA Arts & Design.For more info and list of specific subway locations:

Many of you know about the Empire State Dairy tile murals in Brooklyn, NY. After seventeen years of trying to get the City to Landmark the dairy building, the City has decided to hear arguments for landmarking in July, because the City is now allowing developers to gain easements in Brooklyn's East New York area. This may be the only time we will have to influence this decision. (The building owner opposes landmark status.)The Friends of Terra Cotta and Susan Tunick and I are asking individuals and organizations who are interested in the preservation of historic architectural ceramics to distribute and send a postcard to the Commissioner of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission asking the LPC to landmark the Empire State Dairy building and its tile murals (made by the American Encaustic Tiling Company, and probably designed by Leon Solon, in 1912/13).We have packages of pre-printed postcards, like the one below, which we will send to anyone, or any organization, who will distribute them, sign them and mail them to the LPC. Just send me your mailing address and the number of postcards you can use.Please let me know if you can help us, and how many postcards you think you can use. (A letter from your organization to the LPC would help even more, but we would like individuals to send postcards also.)If you wish to know more about these murals, go to these websites:andhttp://tilesinnewyork.blogspot.com/2016/03/wall- murals-in-brooklyn-mini- survey.html (scroll down almost to the end of the article) Thank you one and all!Michael Padwee
