Celebrate National Pollinators Week with Carol Alleman Bronze
June 4th, 2013
Six years ago the U.S. Senate’s unanimous approval and designation of a week in June as “National Pollinator Week” marked a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Pollinator Week has now grown to be an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats and beetles. The growing concern for pollinators is a sign of progress, but it is vital that we continue to maximize our collective effort. The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture signs the proclamation every year.
Announcing New Artist Nathaniel Mather
May 31st, 2013
A new addition to our walls in the vibrant and optimistic work of Tennessee-based artist Nathaniel Mather. The paintings of Nathaniel Mather, in their shallow spaces, childlike renderings of animals, flowers, and rough-edged patches of color evoke early 19Th century primitive art, and yet a rich symbolic allusiveness and playfulness of spirit give his work […]

MutualArt.com is one of my favorite spots for all-things art. Their email newsletters are worthy of singing up for, and you can also sign up to receive auction updates and alerts.

Buy the Art that You Love, courtesy of Houzz.com
May 2nd, 2013
This week’s blog is from Houzz.com and features the Pangea design firm out of Portland, Oregon. Artists get into a real tizzy about the subject of people looking for art-to-match-the-sofa.

And then we can plan the decor around the art.
OWD Design Window Display Collaboration

Which is why we have hired Lynsey Jones Schlegel of OWD Design Studio as our new window display artist.
