&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Jaynes says “This exhibit is about using collage and painting to express the inherent BuddhaNature that resides in everything and all of us.&amp;nbsp; We all have the capacity to offer loving kindness and an open generous heart.“&amp;nbsp; Her collages are inspired by glimpses of the everyday and the ordinary.&amp;nbsp; Dark, rich&amp;nbsp; yet illuminating color is a signature element of her work.&amp;nbsp; Light is an important factor.&amp;nbsp; Jaynes makes mono-prints then adds images, real or imagined, obscure or quite obvious, text, photos or nature.&amp;nbsp; The work evolves into a semblance of balance and shape, often evoking the spiritual, dreamscapes and ancient symbols.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The paintings of the Women of New Mexico are “some women I know and some I wish I had known.&amp;nbsp; The young women of the Sunset Series were found murdered and buried in the West Mesa of Albuquerque.&amp;nbsp; Outraged, she felt compelled to paint their portraits, keeping their spirits alive and connect to their remembrance.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; “Art has revealed to me the miracle of BuddhaNature in everything and all of us.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Holly Aloha Jaynes is a local artist and member of Marblehead and Salem Art Associations, Lynn Arts &amp;amp; Art Salon of Marblehead.

College of Art &amp;amp; Design and has her Masters in Expressive Therapy from Lesley University.&amp;nbsp; She has been exhibiting and teaching classes in Boston and on the North Shore for more than 30 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Students will work on their own subject matter with demos as needed by the instructor.&amp;nbsp; First night will be instructor guided. &amp;nbsp;If you don't have your own supplies, there is a materials fee of &amp;nbsp;$35 for the six weeks class. A supply list will be sent to you upon request.&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Helvetica, sans-serif"&gt;Painting is a great way to relax and forget about everything in these stressful times. &amp;nbsp;Hope you will join me. Space is limited so contact me ASAP.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Watercolor Workshop</title>
      <description>&lt;p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;font size="5"&gt;Join us for sunset on Monhegan Island, Maine in June 2011&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Paint with North Shore artist and art educator,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Paula Beaulieu M.Ed.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;, in a watercolor workshop on Monhegan Island and experience the beauty and lushness of spring there. Spring comes late to the island so you'll have an opportunity to enjoy spring twice this year. The island, an hour by ferry from the mainland, explodes with color. Enticed by the salt air, everything seems to grow so much more luxuriantly, and numerous species of migrating birds make their annual stopovers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;font size="5" style="font-size: 20pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;June 10, 11, 12, 13, 2011&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0in"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;Cost includes four days and three nights stay at the Trailing Yew with private accommodations and shared bath, three country breakfasts, three dinners, two full days of watercolor painting instruction, taxes and gratuities. Cost is&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;$450.00&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;(Cost of ferry not included.) Call&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;b&gt;978-744-8550&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size="4"&gt;or e-mail&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#0000FF"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:paulabeaulieu@mac.com"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;paulabeaulieu@mac.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;for more information or to register.

For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Iris Apfel, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller undefined who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.&lt;/p&gt;

The 2010 festival had over 4,000 visitors. The Festival is looking for art and performance for the sophisticated art patron as well as for the art novice including interactive events for children. It will engage participants of diverse backgrounds and ages by reaching out to current art patrons, local students, and the community at large.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black;"&gt;Beyond their flawlessly rendered surfaces, the painting in&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;A Debt to Pleasure&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;integrates the sensual and the sinister, the vulgar and the mysterious. Each artist explicitly references stylistic techniques and aesthetics of the past to create a provocative body of work that explores meaning making in painting.&amp;nbsp; In a decidedly postmodern manifestation, allegorical realism is employed to investigate symbolism in the contemporary dissemination of cultural history and the continued obsession with 'everything new'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;JUDGE: Irvin M. Lippman, Executive Director, Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Irvin took the helm of the Museum in 2003 and oversaw the merger into Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in 2008. Over the last seven years, the Museum has achieved unprecedented success with exhibitions that have made the Museum the most attended art museum in South Florida. In addition to bringing extraordinary exhibitions such as the now infamous Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs and the upcoming Vatican Splendors (January 2011) and Offering of the Angels: Paintings and Tapestries from the Uffizi (November 2011), the Museum has developed a national reputation for its own collections that have been brought together since the Museum’s founding in 1958.&amp;nbsp; The Museum’s Studio School, which was inaugurated in 2004, has become a major part of the educational program; and there are plans underway to expand the School in a renovated 14,000 sq ft building enabling it to offer a larger curriculum -- ceramics, sculpture, photography, graphic design -- with the goal of serving over 2500 students annually by 2014. A major renovation has recently been completed of the Museum’s Plaza which will literally extend the cultural life of the Museum and NSU into the City.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Exhibition - The 45 selected artists will participate in a collective exhibition at the Artists’ Haven Gallery. The exhibition will be from May 10th through May 31st, 2011.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Opening Reception - A Meet the Artists &amp;amp; Awards Presentation event will be held on the evening of Saturday, May 14, 2011 from 6 - 9pm.&amp;nbsp; Free and public invited.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Judging - Judging will be based on creativity, skill, technique, and artistic attributes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Awards - From the overall entries, 45 artists will be selected (5 artists in each of the 9 categories). Of those, 9 artists will win a Best of Category Award (1 artist from each category). And of those, there will be a 1st Place Best of Show Award winner, 2nd Place Judges Award winner, and a 3rd Place Merit Award winner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;
Categories: Entrants must choose from 9 categories. Multiple entries can be made in as many categories as desired - see below for Entry Fees and Form. Artists working in various mediums are welcome to enter. If you feels yours is questionable, please contact us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Themes for Our Artists' Row Shows!</title>
      <description>&lt;h1&gt;Give us your ideas!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 102, 51);"&gt;We are going to do a postcard of all the shows for our upcoming season.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#336633"&gt;We are looking for a few themes for our shows at Artists' Row (hopefully we are lucky enough to be awarded the space again in 2011).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#336633"&gt;Send them to &amp;lt;EGH.ARTS@gmail.com&amp;gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#336633"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000"&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia"&gt;June we will have a &lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"&gt;"WIP: Work in Progress"&lt;/font&gt; show&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000"&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia"&gt;July is "Untitled"&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000"&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia"&gt;August we will have &lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"&gt;"PHOTO211"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000"&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia"&gt;September is "Untitled"&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;h4&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" color="#990000"&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="Georgia"&gt;October is "Untitled"&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
