World Art Foundation Awards Dinner 2009June 14th, 2009 - 10:19 Hi everyone, This journey has been a world wind of activity. I was running late when I arrived so I had to check into the hotel run up to my room do a quick change and go down to the banquet room! I came down to the lobby and was lead to the dinner by some of the most amazing large beautifully done paintings. I knew right then I was in the right place. I was greeted by the charming Jojo Merango (the founder of the WAF). I introduced myself and he invited me to join him at his table. He introduced me to Krizsan Zoltan an artist from Hungary, and Duri from East Africa. His agent was there I only know her as Angela she is from New York. There was also a writer from In Motion filmz who was hired to video this event Dino Wells. He will be posting it on the World Art foundation website. www.worldartfoundation.org. |

 World Art Expo speaker recommends many routes to success
“Galleries help attract clients,” says Gordon. “They build up client bases and also have group shows.” Historically, he points out, artists do not sell as well when they sell directly to collectors.
Online channels for selling art are changing the marketing of art, Gordon notes. “Online you can vary your style and the audience seems to want that kind of approach.”
Gordon also sees benefits to selling at auction. “A gavel price is an absolute validation of the value of a work.”
Regardless of how artists seek to sell their creations, Gordon advises that “credential building is important. You need to make yourself an artist of merit. It is important to make yourself unique and noticeable with techniques and passions that are distinctively yours.” |

Global Art Fair showcases local talentJune 2, 4:41 PM San Diego will be well represented when the World Art Exposition opens in neighboring Orange County this Sunday, June 7. LaJolla native Michael Newberry and San Diegan Judith D’Agostino will join the group of 500 artists from around the world who are exhibiting at the event. Both are recognized for their talents in plein air painting, a style which has won California international recognition. D’Agostino will be exhibiting three plein air works, “Drifting Into Nightfall”, “Magic Sky”, and “Glow.” She is inspired by outdoor scenes she has seen in the area with the San Diego regional plein air painting group. Her favorites include LaJolla, Sunset Cliffs and Balboa Park.
Michael Newberry recently returned to the U.S. after living and painting in Europe. He is extremely enthusiastic about participating in the World Art Exposition. He praises World Art Foundation leader JoJo Marengo for his goal of building a lasting legacy. He also credits the organization and its flagship event, the World Art Expo, with addressing an important niche in the international exhibition calendar. “The World Art Foundation is meeting the needs of creative artists whose work is figurative and representative,” he observes. Many other institutions emphasize working with art that has already been created or classical styles which emulate it.
San Diego Fine Arts Examiner Max Donner will also represent the graphic design community at the show with his illustration “Spectrum of Motion.” This presentation of surfers moving deftly through waves of motion and light is one of many works designed to make learning about science and physics more interesting for teenagers.
It is easy to see that there will be art for every interest at the World Art Exposition. Judith D’Agostino sees the event as a timely opportunity. “This is a business,” she notes. “If you want your work to be seen, you have to do something about it.” D’Agostino is doing that very well, and will also exhibit at the regional show of the San Diego Art Institute which opens this Friday, June 5.
To see for yourself, start at the host hotel for the World Art Exposition, the Fullerton Marriott Hotel. Parking is adjacent to the hotel and is free for World Art Exposition visitors. |
