"Make a night of it, why not see both the Gallery M show AND the Studio of 5
Rings show this Friday night! They're just a few blocks away!" :o)
GALLERY M
Cleveland's Premier Art Jewelry Gallery
Cleveland's Gallery M to Host "200 Rings" Exhibit
Curated by Robert Ebendorf and Velvet da Vinci
Gallery M will host a reception for the traveling exhibit entitled "200
Rings" on Friday, June 3, 2005 from 5 to 9 p.m. The exhibition will be curated by
Mike Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt of San Francisco's Velvet da Vinci gallery
and internationally known metalsmith Robert Ebendorf. The reception is free
and open to the public, and wine and hors d'oeuvres will be served. There will
be a second reception on Friday, June 24 as part of a gallery tour during the
Society of North American Goldsmiths' annual conference being held in
Cleveland.
The "200 Rings" exhibition is based on the creative jewelry work shown in the
book "1000 Rings: Inspiring Adornments for the Hand", which features a
selection of rings by notable international jewelry artists who use a wide variety
of techniques and materials, from traditional to avant-garde.
Gallery M visitors already know the work displayed will be on the cutting
edge. Chosen for inclusion in "1000 Rings," metal artists Karl Fritsch, Anya
Pinchuk and Andrea Wippermann were also all spotted by Gallery M owner Todd
Pownell and curator Debra Rosen and featured in the gallery this past summer and
fall.
The "200 Rings" exhibit opened in November at Velvet da Vinci and ran
through the end of the year at that location. The exhibit is moving east to:
* Obsidian Gallery, Tucson, Arizona, February 1 -March 31, 2005
* Gallery M, Cleveland, Ohio, June 3 - July 17, 2005 (during the 2005 SNAG
Conference, June 22-25th)
* Shaw Gallery, Northeast Harbor, Maine, August 1 - September 30, 2005
Gallery M's brand-new jewelry cases created especially for this exhibition by
Cleveland designer Daniel Balog will house the artists' jewelry. TAP Studios
and Gallery M feature a highly unique live-work loft with working
metalsmithing studio and class space adjoining the open jewelry gallery.
Following the opening, the artists' work will be on exhibit through July 17.
Gallery hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.,
Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment.
