Arts T.O.A.S.T. 2006 See the studios, meet the artists, on the10th annual TriBeCa art walk.
T.O.A.S.T., The TriBeCa Open Artist Studio Tour, is a free, self-guided tour of approximately 100 artists' studios throughout TriBeCa. Bringing artists and the public together, it provides an opportunity for visitors to interact with the artists and see artwork at the source, the artist’s own studio. The route extends from just above Canal Street to Murray Street, and from Washington Street to Lafayette Street. Additional opportunities and activities. This year we are welcoming14 Gulf Coast Artists who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina and given studio space residencies in TriBeCa by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. Visit them at 200 Hudson Street. On Saturday and Sunday, the N Y Academy of Art at 111 Franklin St., provides a hospitality lounge where one can pick up TOAST information, have refreshments, take a break, and view their exhibition of faculty and alumni work. The Church Street School for Music and Art at 74 Warren St. offers free art activities for children on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 until 5:00 PM; a free faculty concert at 3:00 PM on Sunday, and student musical presentations throughout the day. Throughout April, catch the nightly slide show of the work of the TOAST artists at Franklin Station Café, 222 West Broadway at Franklin St. Starting in mid April, see reproductions of the work of the TOAST artists displayed in the Church St. windows of the New York Law School, at the corner of Worth and Church Streets. Maps: this essential guide to who’s who, what to do, where to eat, and how to get there will be available at NY Law School, NY Academy of Art, and many local restaurants, galleries, and businesses. For a list of map pick-up places, general information, and queries, call the TOAST hotline: 212-479-7317. This year TOAST, in partnership with Art in General and the TriBeCa Gallery Association, is the recipient of a grant to raise awareness of the visual arts in TriBeca. For this TOAST gives special thanks to the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the September 11th fund. Its generous support enables the launching of a new portal to art activities in TriBeCa, and 2nd Wednesdays in TriBeCa, an ongoing program featuring late nights and opening events at many TriBeCa art spaces.

"International Call for
Artists: Proposals Being Accepted Exhibition Proposals for the 2007
Exhibition Season"
"New Work: Tim
Gardner, Marcelino Goncalves, Zak Smith"
From April 21 to September 5, 2006, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) will present New Work: Tim Gardner, Marcelino Goncalves, Zak Smith, the latest exhibition in the Museum’s ongoing New Work series. Organized by SFMOMA curatorial associate Joshua Shirkey, the exhibition marks the California museum premieres for three artists from across North America. Though they work independently, Tim Gardner, Marcelino Gonçalves, and Zak Smith share a common interest in combining and alternating among traditional art-making techniques in an effort to explore new visual articulations of masculine identity through memory, narrative, and desire. Each of the three artists looks to highly formal realist traditions yet departs from convention by employing familiar styles in unexpected ways, invariably inserting himself into the work |
