Aileen's October 2016 Art Update

[aileen imperatrice]

October is rushing by . . .

The Fresno Fair is now done and thanks to everyone who shared photos of seeing my art inside the Fine Arts Building.  Of my 3 pieces on display, “Into this house we’re born” won the Judges Choice award!  What a great surprise. 

 

My artwork “Mistaken Identity” continues to be on exhibit with the Dia de los Muertos show at the Merced Multicultural Arts Center.  This exhibition was coordinated with the help of Frank Delgado as a cultural exchange through Arte Americas.  The Reception will be on Saturday, October 29^th 4-9pm.  I’m planning to be in attendance.  The Merced Multicultural Arts Center is located at 645 West Main Street Merced, CA 95340 and is open Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm, Saturday 10am-2pm and Other hours by appointment.

 

November will open with my Solo Show at the Fresno Arts Council and Opening Reception on Thursday, November 3^rd starting at 5pm.  I hope you will come by for the reception and see my newest work.  I’ve been very busy creating new art for this show and you will be the first to see it.

The Fresno Arts Council can be found in Downtown Fresno at 1245 Van Ness, Fresno, CA 93721.

                                                                        

Thanks as well to everyone who continue to share with me that they have seen me on tv in the Cal Viva Health commercial done by Jeffrey Scott Agency/Advertising.  Being paid to play myself/an artist; not a bad gig!  If you haven’t seen the commercial yet, you can find it here:  https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/RJwNN

Meanwhile, I continue creating new art in my studio, and continuing my regular travels to LA for art business with galleries that already show my work and meeting other galleries that are interested.  I also continue as a member of an Artist Critique Group with fellow Los Angeles Art Association members meeting at various LA locations.  Sponsored by the LAAA/Gallery 825, we meet monthly to critique our work and plan for a future show at an LA Gallery where a professional art critic will review our work and our show will open to the public for a reception.  We recently stepped up our meetings to finish in December and will have our culmination exhibition/reception and critique at TAG Gallery at Bergamot Station in December.  You’ll see an invite for that coming later.

 

I invite you to visit my Artist Member Page with the LAAA/Gallery 825 here:  http://gallery825.com/artists/i/imperatrice_a.html 

or you can see my art and find out what I’m doing through my website: www.aileenimperatrice.com 

as well as through regular postings on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/aileenri 

Most importantly, I continue my work to sell my art, (which helps me pay bills, purchase supplies and to be able to attend art events in LA).   ALL my ART works are FOR SALE.

Please feel free to ask me about any of my work if you are interested.

And remember, I am always willing to work out payments with you.

 

Thanks for reading,
