Park Galleries: New Build, New Works!


It's been a while, but time to share that we have an entirely new build and some wonderful new works by the Park Artists. We've also established The Legacy Gallery for some of our pioneer Park Artists. We'll have a formal re- opening later in the month, but do drop by and take an early look.

April at Park Galleries


April 2010 is a busy month for Park Galleries and Park Gallery Artists.

The biggest news is that Park Galleries founder, Angel Enoch, is exhibiting 6 new works in The Commons Gallery. It is such a honor and pleasure to have her back at Park :)

Park Artist, Kayly Ilai has hung a group of new landscape-inspired works on the first floor of her gallery at Park. Not only are they evocative images, but they are priced nicely.

The works of the late Artistic Fimicoloud are on sale to benefit Relay for Life at Park Galleries at Copley Square. Not only was she a good friend and fine artist, but she owned Park galleries between Angel and Samara Barzane.

Current Park Gallery owner, Samara Barzane is having a busy month with her "Memory Layers" exhibit at Kelly Yap Art Gallery drawing to a close, but also anticipating the opening of a new group of works at Twilight Art Gallery. More on the latter in a bit.

AND we have the beginnings of The Spirit of Relay RFL Team Vendor Store.

Park Artist Moeuhane Sandalwood at Aeonia Arts


The works currently on display at Aeonia Arts Showroom West is called Condamnation: A Country between Devastation and Hope. This installation was the result of the powerful effect the images coming out of Haiti after the earthquake had on Park Galleries Artist, Moeuhane Sandalwood. While some of the walls pieces are in Moe's gallery at Park, this is the place to see all of them, as well as his box constructions, which add both literal and figurative depth to the experience of Haiti's suffering.

Please do drop by, experience the exhibit and contribute generously to the Haiti relief effort.

New Souvenirs Gallery Has Opened as Part of Park Galleries


As owner of Park Galleries for the past 2 years I have always focused on the Park Artists through encouragement, publicity, and our participation in 60 Linden Sunday and gallery exchanges. I had a small gallery of my travel "Souvenirs" but that was it.

Then all of a sudden the creative bug bit. And I became to process some of my many travel images into multi-layered photo-montages. Some use multiple images, others just rely on one. I've always wanted to open a gallery in my home sim, Pumori, but never had the time or creative energy. Then, just as quickly as creativity struck, Souvenirs/Park Galleries at Samara's Park came into being.

Please drop by and enjoy the complex and, in many cases, colorful images, as well as the restful courtyard. I will be getting more information up soon about the process and the images involved in each work, but for now just ask me any questions you may have.

Also be sure to drop by The Commons Gallery at Park to see the beautiful and evocative works of artists from Former Yugoslavia shown through the courtesy of Demago Gallery

Park Artist Pol Jarvinen at Cushing Island


Don't miss 21 of Pol's mystically absorbing boxes on display right now at Cushing Island. Be sure to use the poseballs, because many of the boxes reveal their complexity only then. The title of his exhibit is, aptly, "Be the Art."

Also showing is feather Boa and both have works for sale in support of The Children of Haiti.

We're lucky to have one or two of Pol's boxes at Park on a rotating basis, as well as some of his smaller works, but don't miss this chance to see them all!
