Reminder: Call for Submissions for Plein Air Group Show

Swoon – Fine Art & Antiques Presents:
Open Air - A Group Show

Plein Air - French term meaning out of doors. Refers to the practice of painting an entire, finished picture out of doors; as opposed to simply making preparatory studies or sketches.

This juried show will take place August 4, 2012 – September 1, 2012, with an opening reception on August 4 from 2-5pm. 

Images for consideration must be emailed (info@swoonfineart.com) or delivered to the gallery by July 7, 2012. Submissions will be reviewed by a jury, and artists will be notified of the results by phone or email.

 Work must have been painted within the last year and must not have been previously shown. Artists can submit up to five images and should include the size, price and medium of each piece. (Note – Presentation, framing and the archival nature of the work will be taken into consideration.)

All accepted work must be delivered to Swoon on or before July 28, 2012. 
I look forward to seeing your submissions!

Swoon Welcomes New Artists!

Happy Spring everyone, we're pleased to have such a balmy start to the season.  Over the winter we've had several new artists join Swoon; in part from our 2nd annual Christmas pottery show, our group Cityscape show, and as we become more established in the local art community. 

We're very excited about the new additions and look forward to showing more work by these artists in the coming year!

Here is a sampling from our latest Swoon artists, details of these pieces and more can be viewed on our website:


Painter Susan Vitale.  "Crazy Waves" oil on canvas, 20" x 40"


Photographer Mariette Roodenburg. "Snow Drifting Near Hartling Bay" 10" x 27"
