Think about it, if you could talk to the artist every time you purchased their music, or watched their movie and/orvideo, would you? That would be pretty amazing, wouldn’t it! With Santa Fe ArtWorld, collectors can communicate directly with the artist. Not only are collectors able to view the artist’s available inventory and find out which work is at what gallery, or available through the artist, they can actually get to know about the artist and about their work!

Representing from the emerging to the internationally renowned, each Santa Fe ArtWorld artist is juried in, and carefully screened prior to acceptance. We at SFAW invite you to explore art and the creating artist in a new way!

January 2010 FEATURED ARTIST: Tarja Saikkonen

Quote of the Month

The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it. -John Ruskin

Art helps to recruit top talent because creative and innovative people tend to have some sort of arts background, Peeler said. Because art is ambiguous it generates discussion and imaginative thinking, Peeler said. Studies have shown that art in the workplace can lead to a more creative social environment, Martorella said. . . ~ By MAUREEN MILFORD • The News Journal • December 13, 2009 http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20091213/BUSINESS/912130348

Thought of the Month

No other animal species creates such vast wastelands and causes such harm to others including their own species and to the planet as we when we are capable of creating such beauty. Ponder if you will then why we call ourselves human inferring our humanity?

I truly believe the survival of civilization is contingent upon the survival of art for it fosters within us hope, creativity, inspiration, and joy – all things necessary for civilization to endure.

New Artist:

Mike Filippello, a New York folk artist, author, and illustrator working in a multitude of medias creates magical mysteries with the carefree nature of a child depicting memories from the space between our lives and minds reminding us all of how to better our communities. . .. If only time would freeze for a moment? But hasn’t it already when the true value of the present is lost? Filippello’s work is a strong reminder poetically expressed of simple joys, family values, and community wellness.

Lanai Gallery’s collection of artists and work continues to grow as each artist is juried in. Please view the following site for more information: http://www.patiopizzaz.com/all_weather_artwork.html
