From the Editor:
New York City has long been called the "Art Capitol of the Western
Hemisphere". It's no surprise. In the district of Soho, the Big
Apple's most prominent art district, there is virtually a gallery in
every building. It's every artist's dream to exhibit in NYC - so I
packed up my digital camera and tape recorder, and caught the
next flight out to the concrete jungle. Stop by and read the full
report!
As usual, tons of new additions this week, and ten times this much
in the proverbial inbox. Until next time, keep those submissions coming,
keep your carpet covered with a .79 cent drop cloth, and happy painting!
Cheers!
Scott
