Artemis Gallery Presents “Dogs Gone Wild Unleashed” by Artist Rusty Hammer

Posted on by

For our June 2018 First Friday, We hosted Florida folk artist Rusty Hammer who has created  a whole new litter of his wonderfully whimsical, wooden dogs! 

These eccentric dogs are made out of pine and found object wood left over from other projects. Most people consider them to be Outsider Art or Folk Art since rusty doesn’t go by a formal MFA program. All Rusty’s work reflects his hysterical sense of humor, combining dog and human features and characterizations!

Rusty was present at our exhibition and chatted with all the dog/art lovers who visited our enlightened establishment. We were lucky enough to have live music by Norman Norteldor his daughter and his wife. The entire event was an outrageous blast! 

 

Hudson River Beach Glass at Artemis Gallery!

Posted on by

Artemis Gallery is currently showing a beautiful selection of Hudson River Beach Glass!

“Our works are a collaboration grounded in texture, color, and the infinite viscosity of glass.”

For more than 18 years, Hudson Beach Glass- comprised of artists John Gilvey, Wendy Gilvey, Michael Benzer, and Jennifer Smith- have designed  and produced an original line of sculptural tabletop glass works in an amazing pallete of 14 rich gemstone colors.

To date, Hudson Beach Glass artists have experimented with a variety of glass techniques, including lamp working, casting, traditional freehand blowing and mold blowing.

Combining functionality with elegance, Hudson Beach designs are inspired and excited by forms found in the natural environment. Many of their pieces are used by food stylists for publications such as Food and Wine, Bon Appetite, and Gourmet Magazine. They have also appeared on several cooking shows on Television’s Food Network. The Hudson Beach Glass line has expanded over the years to include functional serving pieces as well as perfume bottles, jars, and bar ware. It has been well received by galleries and gift stores across the nation and internationally.

The Hudson Beach Glass show took place Friday May 3rd at Artemis Gallery.
Hudson Beach Glass works can still be seen in the Artemis Gallery at 1601 W Main Street!

Sylvie Harwin is a California artist who works in anodized aluminum-
a colorization process converting silver aluminum into multiple colors
through electrolysis. Sylvie makes a widely distributed line of “high tech”
jewelry that has been seen in many films such as Star Trek. Her work is in
private collections throughout the United States.
Jim and Tori Mullan of Mullanium work using recycled metal parts
to create jewelry with organic plant and animal themes. The couple
combined their individual talents and formed a partnership in work and
life. Their fascination with birds, nature, and antiques is still present
today and their vast collection of vintage hardware, bird carvings, and
watches fill up a 3300 square foot studio in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Jim and Tori’s collections can be found in over 1,000 galleries, museum
stores and specialty stores worldwide.
John Teal Crutchfield of Metallic Art Graphics works using a unique
graphics art technique which he applies to a high quality brass base
and casts in a durable clear fiberglass encasement. The purpose of his
designs is to evoke the inner desires of one wishing to escape from the
present to explore the past civilizations of ancient Egypt, Greece, and
Persia. To achieve these results, John draws on his influences from his
studies in Europe. His work has been photographed, written about, and
showcased in several galleries including the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery
in New York and the Artemis Gallery in Richmond, VA.

Artemis Gallery Presents Contemporary Contradictions in Glass First Friday Oct 5th

Posted on by

Artemis Gallery will present unique challenging art glass by up and coming young artists who challenge Dale Chihuly’s concepts of
decorative art.

For years, Dale Chihuly has been
impressing museums and collectors with his over done decorative glass
chandeliers that are dificult to install and can only be hung with his
15 associates.

At Artemis, you will see refreshing
new glass that you can instal yourself and be able to enjoy for years.

New color, new technique, and new artists will show a contradictory vision to Chihuly’s museum show and more
accurately represent the next
generation in glass.

The Floating Folk Festival 15th Anniversary First Friday June 1st at Artemis

Posted on by

The Floating Folk Festival presented their 15th Anniversary concert at Artemis Gallery Friday, June 1st at 6pm.There was three stages of music during the evening featuring Pam McCarthy, Norman Nortledorf, Meade Skelton, Harry Gore, Brooke Saunders, Chuck Kerwath, Chris Branch, Wendy Paace and much more!   The Floating Folk Festival was created by Brook Saunders in 1997 as a musical co-op that “floated around” many different venues in Richmond. The first show was held at the Main Street Grill on July 17th, and there have been hundreds more over the years.   As the Floating Folk Festival developed, it has added many more artists, even a bit of a rock and roll scene! The Festival has received a lot of attention over the years, by 1998 the organization was on the cover of the Weekender section in the Times Dispatch, had the first of three compilation CD released by Plan 9 Records, and was playing venues small and large throughout the area. But the core group always remained and stayed active in various ways, and has chosen Artemis Gallery to celebrate all of the hard work over the years to help make Richmond a great music town.
