Reminders & Tips for New Year's Eve
12.31.11
As we countdown to 2012 and you make your way to midtown this evening, please keep these tips and suggestions in mind:
We want to make sure you get here and get home safely. See you soon!
- Parking on Myrtle will be fairly open, as usual, but please do NOT leave valuables in your car. If you want to leave something in the house, bring it with you.
- If you have a long way to walk home, do not do it alone. Ask someone to accompany you to your car, too, if it is too far away from the house.
- The Governor’s (Ga.) Office of Highway Safety has issued a phone app, available for both Android and iPhones, called “Drive Sober, Georgia” - on which you can order a free taxi ride home. Definitely use this option if you’ve had too many. (HT to Dennis White on the suggestion.) Those of you not in the city of Atlanta, and who don’t live in NYC where cabs are ubiquitous, your state may have a similar program.
- Finally, crime is a reality here in the city. Be aware of your surroundings and make sure to walk in groups.
We want to make sure you get here and get home safely. See you soon!

Spotlight: Vibecke Dahle's Panama "Memories"
12.06.11 Filed in: photo canvas | photography
Choreographer and dancer extraordinaire Vibecke Dahle returns to ARTvision with “Memories,” a photo output to canvas. The subject, Carmen, lived a very active life near water and had a strong reaction when shells were gifted to her that came from a beach she could no longer visit.
“The image for me shows a contrast of time,” Vibecke says. “Carmen’s older sister was picking shells for her from the beach because Carmen can't walk much anymore. Carmen treated them like a treasure.” (read more)
“Memories” is being offered for $100 in ARTvision’s Extended December Sales Program - starting this weekend. Reserve this piece today!

Last Post Before Our Event: By Will Pollock
We are gearing up for an exciting event tomorrow! I hope you’ll join us. Remember to RSVP if you haven’t already.
Important to note: we have nearly $18,000 worth of art to sell tomorrow night, so let’s get to it!
I’ll be offering four pieces for our event. They are:


See you tomorrow!
Important to note: we have nearly $18,000 worth of art to sell tomorrow night, so let’s get to it!
I’ll be offering four pieces for our event. They are:
- Madaket Sun. Growing up on Nantucket gave me unusual access to one of the most beautiful places on earth. This image was shot along an inlet near Madaket Beach, right at sunset. Custom framing by JD Isaacs at Rose Squared Gallery & Framing.

- Hendrix Bloom. An accidental homage to the late, great Jimi Hendrix, this image was taken at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens during a recent visit with my parents. The Hendrix song, “Purple Haze” was apparently inspired by a dream Hendrix had where he was walking under the sea, and was engulfed by a purple haze and got lost. I got lost in this bloom when I took it, and hopefully you will, too.
- Nomad. I got a call from my neighbor Jim Stapleton that a hawk had landed in the backyard and that I should grab my camera and shoot it. So, I did. The guy didn’t stay long and looked as though he had lots of other places to visit. This was the shot I got off in time before he scooted away.

- Wake Up/Brilliance. Named for the Melissa Etheridge song, “I Need to Wake Up,” this simple sunrise image was shot in Chautauqua, N.Y., and reminded me of the importance of seeing each day as new, fresh and brilliant. “I am not an island/I am not alone/I am my intentions/trapped here in this flesh and bone” is the lyric that has stuck with me all this time, and this scene reminded me of that. This song was the single motivator for starting ARTvision back in 2006.
See you tomorrow!
Finished & Ready: Gordon Stuedler's "Palm Lagoon"

Gordon Stuedler joins ARTvision through a connection on Twitter. His landscape photography is unmistakable. With “Palm Lagoon,” he gives us an illusory look at a South Florida waterway.
“I shot this one morning within two or three hundred yards of the Homestead Air Force Base,” he says. “The rows of palms were all flooded as I drove around looking for likely shots, this one had the look of an actual waterway densely bordered by palms and underbrush. (read more)
This piece is output to archival paper and is set in a sustainable bamboo frame from PictureFrames.com - offered at $250.

(30 November 2011 :: Atlanta & Charlottesville) Following big success with “Ladies of a Certain Age” and “Nantucket Morning,” Mary Pollock returns to ARTvision with “A Christmas Snowbird,” which is a drawing that my parents sent as a Christmas Card about 30 years ago. (read more)

ARTvision: From Online to In-Person
11.29.11 Filed in: news | general posts
When ARTvision began back in 2006, it was designed to be an online celebration of the arts - using strategic photos, measurements and “romance” to coax buyers into making corresponding donations to buy art.
Slowly but surely, we added in-person viewing to the ARTvision equation, and you responded. Our preview viewing events in both 2009 and 2010 yielded thousands of donations before the official day of the event on New Year’s Eve.
This year, we are trying something entirely new, also based on fan feedback. We’ve moved ARTvision to a standalone event - just to focus on the in-person viewing and fund-raising that will take away the crunch of the end of the year and allow folks to get that tax deduction before the end of the year.
Keep those comments and feedback coming. Without it, we won’t be able to improve!

Multidiscipline Artist Sean Mansfield Rejoins ARTvision
11.29.11
As an overall event, we are lucky to be treated to artistry sourced from all over the country - and Sean “Buck” Mansfield is a good example of that multi-city infusion of talent. Splitting time between Ft. Lauderdale and Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Sean is logging his fourth year as displaying ARTvision artist. His entry this year, “The Patterns of Prague,” is a mixed-media-based collection of four architectural photos that struck him while visiting Europe.

"Architecture is always my favorite subject when shooting pictures,” he says. “I find that it challenges me like no other subject, and is an inspiration in the furniture design and home remodeling work that I do.” (read more)

Three Stunning Images From Folsom by Dean Ignacio
Thanks to a chance connection by my friend and trainer Eric Do, we are all treated to the talent of San Francisco college student and avid photographer Dean Ignacio for the first time. His “Folsom” series, mostly black and white but some in color, reveal a humanness of revelers rarely seen in a young photographer. (read more)

Dean says the homeless man in “Adventures in Scavenging” used his shopping cart like a adventure chariot. "He was laid out on the street like rag doll and very complacent of himself, as if the shopping cart was dragging him to places unknown,” he says. “Folsom as 'unknown' is such an understatement and I'm sure he had a lot to scavenge that day."
The “Folsom” series is offered as a collection or individually. $450 for each and $1,200 for the trio. For more details, go directly to Dean’s artist page.

The Funky, Off-beat Artistry of Jon Arge
