March 2nd, 2008 — EK23, Pollard Gallery, Rhode Center For The Arts, Exhibit, Visual Artists

After 137 trips up and down the ladder, Kim called for help. Daughter Taylor and fellow artist Kate attempted a rescue. The Ladies, Kim Rahal and Kate Fallucca, were spending too much of Saturday setting up for their “Double Artist Exhibit”.
They measured, marked, nailed, and hanged, and hanged, and about the third time wound up with a centered and leveled piece. Sometimes it was the right distance from the adjacent piece. Taylor managed to get the right tool to the right place at the right time, and in quiet moments, texted the outside world.
“A Double Artist Exhibit” opens Friday March 7, at the Pollard Gallery from 6 to 9. In addition to notable art from the Ladies, your palette will be tempted by catered treats, and professional musicians Bill Robbins and Sean Mason will entertain you.
And that’s not all.
Two lucky patrons will take home art donated by the Ladies.
The beneficiaries of the chance drawing will be two of the communities most stalwart organizations, Kenosha Meals on Wheels and Kenosha Women and Children’s Horizons. The drawing will proceed at 8:45.
Enjoy a lovely evening while supporting and enriching your community.

February 24th, 2008 — Pollard Gallery, Rhode Center For The Arts, Call for Artists
by Joe Barr
The Pollard Gallery, long a tribute to the talents of our neighbors, George and Nan Pollard, is evolving into an Artists Cooperative in an effort to offer gallery space for local artists.
All artists, emerging and established, are invited to show and share their art in any media. Initially the Gallery is offering two ways to participate. The artist may choose to pay a modest hanging fee to display their work, and enjoy the benefit of no commission on their sales. Another option is to gallery sit and earn a low commission on sales. Generous agreements are also available for print and jewelry sales.
Brigitta Richter, a participating local artist, enjoys the ability to indulge in creative pricing. Without the burden of high commissions, Gitta wants to make her work affordable for more people.
A solo show of the artists work is an opportunity many are finding particularly appealing. Some artists like the idea of a joint show. Kate Fallucca and Kim Rahal, for instance, are presenting “A Double Artist Exhibit” on March 7.
Please stop by, visit and enjoy the work of over ten local artists in the new Pollard Gallery.
To learn more about the co-op, please call Brigitta at 925-7096, or Judy at 654-9030.
