SpeakEasy Spring Art Fair : The 10% Percent

SPEAK EASY SPRING ART FAIR : THE  10% PERCENT

Last night  I  attended  the opening for the 16^th  SpeakEasy Spring art Show at the Gladstone Hotel on Queen West, Toronto, on the second floor  .The one night gathering started in 1996 and  transformed into a one week long juried show open to emerging and established artists.

The opening  ,Thursday night ,was well attended  and I had to meet old and new artists friends  I knew from other shows,  some of them  my neighbours in Case Goods Warehouse, in The Distillery District.

This year 37 independent artists were juried in and they came from all the creative backgrounds: photography, illustration, installation, painting, crafts.

Here is the 10% that caught my eye:

1.Pavel   Zablocski, etching, www.vilk.net/zablocki

2.David Brown, encaustic,  www.encausticollage.com  

3.Bill  Philipovick, painting, http://www.philipovich.com/GALLERY_1.html

4.Kimberley Lillyhite , illustrator, www.kimberleylillyhite.co

On my way out, a summery rain spelled the magic that is certainly worth checking this week, between 5th to 12th of June 2012 . SpeakEasy , a show not to be missed, Toronto  !
