“Men at Work”, the May exhibit at the Art
League of Daytona Beach, showcased
approximately 65 works by painter Dick
Ajalat, abstract three-dimensional artist
Tom Abbott, and sculptor Harvey King.
“This exhibit is the first of what we hope to
make an annual event, featuring the work
of male artists,” says curator Robin
Moore. “Ajalat, Abbott, and King were
suggested by Art League president Connie
Krzyzowski for the inaugural exhibit.
All three use their media and materials to
create colorful and provocative works that
command the viewer‟s attention. Each
artist has a strong vision that can hold its
own with equally compelling work.”

A Definition of “Gallery Wrap”Gallery wrap is a term referring to a style of stretching on artist’s canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides of the wooden frame (stretcher bars) and is secured to the back of the wooden frame. The result is the mechanisms used to secure the canvas ( staples or tacks) are not visible on the sides of the canvas. The sides are prepared and primed in the same manner the face of the canvas is prepared or primed. The sides may then be painted a solid color or painted to continue the image appearing on the face of the canvas. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frame less presentation of the finished painting.

Gallery Sitting: Please help us with sitting the gallery on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. This is so important for us to be open these days for the public to visit our shows and of course our "Members' Gallery." Members Gallery: Bring your paintings in (no wider than 42") to be hung in the "Members Gallery." We have been successful in selling paintings from this area, but even if your work doesn't sell, it's a place to show your work. Visitors have often remarked about the work in this gallery, enjoying them sometimes more than the current show in the main galleries. And, we are proud to show off the work of our very talented members. |
FRAMING INFORMATION:Many new members ask about framing so we plan to have a demonstration and workshops soon on this subject. Our more experienced members recommend the following commercial framers: • Tropical Frame & Art Center (20% discount to artists), • Southern Paint gives a 20% discount on art supplies, 239 S.
