EDDE LOEBER

Eddie Loeber is a Multimedia artist and illustrator based in Weston. As a child, he says he grew up attuned to shape, to form and to the vibrations of energy around him. He moved around as a kid from Hollywood, to Boston and then the New York where he studied and graduated from several renowned Art Institutes. He worked as a digital graphic artist for Lincoln Center, responsible for creating promotional pieces for all of their shows throughout the Center’s theaters. His freelance work can be seen on cd covers for pop bands, PR firms, such as Mouth : Digital + Public Relations in New York, promotional pieces for Starbucks; and commissioned work for many, including SiriusXM Stars radio host, Deborah Graham. He says that in his work, light, form and space peacefully coexist within the delineation of abstract time - where the journey never ends. Website and Instagram.
SARAH STINSON-HURWITZ

Sarah Owen Stinson-Hurwitz, or SOSH for short, is a Norwalk-based artist, passionate about engaging in the local arts community through participatory projects, festivals and murals. Her subjects range from the human figure to dreamlike landscapes and quiet snapshots of daily life. Key in her painting practice is to allow a relationship with each piece to emerge intuitively, "keeping in mind that painting provides the unique opportunity to pull magic out of the quotidian." Sarah graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2018 with an interdisciplinary bachelors in Art and Gender Studies with honors. While at school, she received various grants for her vulnerable portraiture and interactive Dinner Party series. Since then her work has been included in multiple solo and group exhibitions in Connecticut, Pittsburgh, New York, Miami and Charleston. She was recently selected as oe the 10 artists to participate in the Sono Collection's #SoNoArtCares project and her piece "Sundown in July" is in our silent auction and may well make it to the live auction Saturday! See her website and Instagram page.
FRANKIE VINCI

Frankie Leonardo Vinci (just call him Frankie) is drenched in the music, fashion, film and vintage billboards that inspire his Pop Art. The multi-layered backstage passes, concert posters covering the dark alleys and backstage walls in Rock clubs like CBGB’s, all add fire to his creativity. He sees the beauty in subway graffiti, random paint drips, metal rust, torn paper, combined with detailed painting and carefully composed layouts. But Frankie is also a multi-platinum songwriter/recording artist who has shared the stage and worked alongside Aerosmith, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim McGraw, Roberta Flack, Dino Danelli & Gene Cornish (Rascals), Wally Bryson (Raspberries), Ricky Byrd (Joan Jett, Roger Daltrey), Robert Lamm (Chicago), Phil Ramone, and more. He's also had a successful career as a composer/producer for New York NYC advertising companies, composing/producing national jingles for some of the biggest brand names internationally (including composing The Super Bowl Theme for CBS, that has aired on the "NFL Game of the week" for 10 years).  See Frankie's website, Facebook and Instagram pages.

When the histories of these objects are joined, an unexpected piece of work comes forth," notes Susan.

HARD-HIT ARTS SECTOR FACES BRAIN DRAIN AS WORKERS SEEK GREENER PASTURES

Dissatisfied cultural workers are leaving the field in droves—and museums may pay the price. Ed Rodley had prepared to say goodbye—just not this way. After more than three decades of continuous employment in cultural institutions across Massachusetts, the 56-year-old digital-media producer found himself among the dozens of employees laid off from the Peabody Essex Museum in June. The coronavirus pandemic had expedited a restructuring effort already underway there, deepening cuts to longtime workers. Scenes like these have unfolded all summer long as the lasting impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on the arts sector have come into view. And with veterans and newcomers alike abandoning an industry struggling to confront racial and economic inequities, experts worry that the entire field will soon experience catastrophic losses of talent and institutional knowledge. Others claim that the brain drain is already here. Read full article...

WORLD'S FIRST ENTIRELY VIRTUAL ART MUSEUM OPENS FOR VISITORS

As museums have been forced to close their doors in the midst of COVID-19, many of these cultural institutions have proven just how nimble they can be, temporarily shifting their exhibitions from in-person events to online-only experiences.

More than just an online gallery, VOMA is 100 percent virtual, from the paintings and drawings hanging on the walls to the museum’s computer-generated building itself, giving viewers an entirely new way of experiencing art that transports them to an art space without having to leave their computers. Read full article...
