the Baguette

The Brickbottom Newsletter is known as The Baguette. The Baguette will now be available online in a running blog format. Brickbottom members can submit news and images of an upcoming gallery show, museum exhibit, calls for artists, or any other art related happening to baguette@brickbottomartists.com. This page will be updated weekly.

Svetlana Rockwell, an ex Brickbottomer now living in Westport, MA, has a web site svetlanarockwell.com with her work on it. She also has a group of small framed post cards of six works of hers which she is selling through gift shops in the south coastal area. They sell for $19.00 each and make a lovely Christmas present. Cheap and beautiful.

Pat Stevens was chosen to exhibit a carnelian piece for the July show, "Blush" at the Salem Arts Association Gallery on Artists Row, and is showing two pieces for the August show, "Contemporary".

She is also showing her pieces at the "Salem Willows Jazz and Soul Festival" on Saturday, August 15th.

Magical Elves (Peabody Award-winning Project Runway, Emmy Award-winning Top Chef) and Sarah Jessica Parker (Golden Globe- and Emmy Award-winner) and her production company, Pretty Matches, are teaming up for an hour-long creative competition series among aspiring contemporary artists who will create and compete to conquer the art world!

They want contemporary artists. Your medium could be one of many (or several of many) – painting, sculpture, installation, video, photography, mixed-media – we want voices that believe in their art and want the world to know.
