Snow Delays & Massive Jellies

First the holidays, now the snow storms. Its one delay after the other. Securing a new location is taking much longer than planned. Hopefully we can get back on the road again soon!

In the meantime, we are preparing to exhibit at AAF NY again. Last year was a success so we are hoping for similar, if not better, results. This year Gallery Imperato has the honor of displaying a large installation in the fair lobby area! We will be featuring multiple Jellyfish sculptures by Gwyneth Scally and a brand new video by Laura McClanahan, featuring footage from the National Aquarium's "Jellies" exhibit.

The Hunting Art Prize

Congratulations to Gallery Imperato artist Shannon Cannings, now a 2010 Hunting Art Prize finalist. The winner will be awarded $50,000. That could buy a lot of toy guns and painting supplies! Good luck Shannon:)

The Hunting Art Prize is among the largest annual art awards in the country, and is the largest in North America for painting and drawing. The recipient will be announced at a May 1 gala at the Friedkin Corporate Campus, Gulf States Toyota, 1375 Enclave Parkway in Houston. Hunting moved the prize to Houston in 2006 after a quarter century in the United Kingdom, where it emerged as one of Great Britain’s top art awards. It is open to any Texas-based artist who is 18 years or older.
