We are all
saddened by the closing of the GUGGENHEIM Museum and the LAS VEGAS ART MUSEUM,
so it would seem the art movement has taken another step backwards in our City
of (ARTS? and) Entertainment. However, it has not!
The
declining support of many benefactors and government funds will never stop the
fine art movement, never has and never will! Artists keep creating, advocates,
activists and very passionate enthusiasts, will continue to push forward, and
strive to make a cultural presence available to the public.
One
of our newest arrivals, Natasha Young, COO & Director of the WHITE SQUARE
GALLERY, in the trendy west side Boca Park, is taking up the slack. Natasha, is
from the Ukraine and studied at the Kiev State University of Culture there.
White Square is celebrating their First year’s Anniversary next Friday, April 10th.
The public is invited and I recommend a visit.
Natasha
is living up to her motto: “CRISIS will come and go, but ART –ART is forever”!
White
Square’ sister Gallery in Berlin, Germany has formulated a Euro-American union
to BRIDGE the two galleries by showcasing a trade off of European artists here,
and American artist’s abroad.

The new
exhibit “BEAUTY IS THE NEW PUNK”
really caught my attention because; I never associated PUNK with BEAUTY! Quite
the contrary. In the art world, we were always taught that impressionism was
beautiful! I suppose the times are really changing…BERLIN, being the new capital
of contemporary artworks, is setting the pace, with well known mixed media
artists, that will be on display at this exhibition.
Mixed
Media artists from Germany, UK, Switzerland, Rumania and Netherlands on exhibit!
The
gallery space itself is comparable to a San Francisco/ New York style atmosphere
with large walls to sport this very unique and colorful array of new works. This
prominent location includes an upstairs venue to showcase some local and
California artists like Enrique Neverez, Jr., Karen Wallo and Otterbach.
Natasha, is so passionate about ART, Las Vegas, and the Gallery, we welcome her
with open arms and hope for support of this very progressive and exciting
venture in our community. Being the first of its kind, a European influence in
Las Vegas, can only help keep us up on the world stage, as an Art Mecca.
Hope to see you at the
reception!
ARTPEACE!

Have a creative week!
