Bruce Conforti, New Work, A One-Man Show will open at the Gallery 
324 in the Galleria on January 20th at 5 pm. Featuring the work 
(surprise!) of Bruce Conforti, a widely known artist whose vivid and 
powerful abstracts are in museums and private collections all over the 
country. A strong color sense and an athletic kineticism characterize 
Conforti's work, on canvases from 24 x 24 to 72 x 60. The show is at the 
top of the escalator from the heated underground free parking garage at 
the Galleria, right in
the  middle of the mall, at Gallery 324.  

As a bonus, Jean Balbin's first showing in some time will be in the East 
Palm Court between Gallery 324 and the Beyond the Pringted Page 
Show. From the Rembrandt-like hooded lighting of "Harris Hawk" to the 
after-light of "Ending Storm" to the brilliance of "White Egret". You can 
also enjoy her wicked sense of humor in such pieces as "Tiger Lilies" 
and "Toad Stools". Free to the public.

The Fifth Annual Great Lakes Publishing Staff Art Show, "Beyond The 
Printed Page" (Cleveland, Ohio, and Inside Business Magazines) will be 
held at the Galleria at 1301East Ninth Street on Friday, January 20th 
from 5 - 9 pm. There will be 48 artists, showing between 60 and 100 
works for sale. Previous shows have been enormously successful, but 
this year we offer free parking at The Galleria, and the chance to 
rediscover the Galleria itself. The Show is in the former Limited and 
Victoria's Secret space at the  East, or 12th Street, end of the mall. $10
