Lambert Fine Arts is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition on Thursday, October 20th, 2011 from 8-11pm.

Featuring the work of over 20 artists in a variety of mediums, Grand Opening – Round #1 serves as a showcase of the diversity of our artists and as a glimpse into the programming of our coming year.

“We believe that the arts provide one of the most powerful means for communication about our shared humanity and the critical issues of life, so the artist reigns supreme,” says Executive Director Marc Lambert.LFA’s concentration on developing a culturally and socially connected community in the Lower East Side, offers a welcoming alternative to the traditional art gallery model. Our focus on collaboration and multi-media approaches to art production will include all forms of the visual arts, as well as film, music, dance, theater, literature, and performance art.

For the Grand Opening – Round #1 exhibition, the main gallery will feature works by each of the artists currently part of LFA’s Urban Arts community: Bob Clyatt, Harris Diamant, Amanda Dickerson, Jonny Fenix , Brandon Friend, Joseph Grazi, Jason Griffin, Gutbox Collective, Terrenceo Hammond, Doug Henders, Liu Guangyun, Karim Marquez, Rachel Meuler, Hitomi Mochizuki, Shalom Neuman, DH Peligro, Jean Petion, Ray Sell, Rob Swainston, Kara Taylor, and Benito Valdie.

Round #1 will provide a preview sampling of what is to come during LFA’s annual schedule – pieces by all our artists, as well as the premiere of “Butoh Experience: Stone and Lotus”, a performance piece by prima ballerina Paunika Jones. There will also be a site-specific video installation by Allison Berkoy entitled “Rec Room” in the lower-level lounge gallery that contains miniature and life-sized video sculptures in which figures inhabit scenes of illusion and delusion in varied states of recreation and re-creation.

LFA occupies the unique and quirky landmark Fusion Arts Museum, beautifully reflecting the funky, innovative, and provocative nature of contemporary Urban Arts. With multi-cultural artists using a multi-media approach, the artists and performers at Lambert Fine Arts demonstrate a contemporary sophistication in their use of new media, modern technology, and complex symbolic imagery to engage viewers in a progressive and compelling social critique.

Sloan Fine Art is pleased to host “Single Fare 2: Please Swipe Again” a very special exhibition of works on used NYC MetroCards with a portion of the proceeds to benefit Transportation Alternatives (transalt.org) and Alliance for the Arts’ NYC ARTS (NYC-ARTS.org). In May 2010, Artists Jean-Pierre Roy and Michael Kagan hosted an unusual exhibition in their Brooklyn studio. Open to all artists who wanted to participate, “Single Fare” placed one constraint on the creative process: all work had to be submitted on a used MetroCard. Inspired by the notion that the city’s subways and buses allow for a kind of creative interchange unmatched in human history, “Single Fare” sought to create a unique art event where art and artists could come together to form a monumental event made from a tiny, innocuous piece of plastic: The MetroCard! The resulting exhibition featured over 700 works of art – from artists as far away as New Zealand and as close as the studio next door. Following the tremendous success of last year’s “Single Fare,” Roy and Kagan team up with Sloan Fine Art on the Lower East Side for “Single Fare 2: Please Swipe Again.” The themes of last year’s show ran the gamut from moments of high abstraction to delicate portraiture. Three-dimensional works, documentary photography and even a video installation helped to create one of the most cohesively diverse shows in recent memory while playfully challenging artists to show what they can do with seven square inches. While serving as a democratizing vehicle for artists of all ages and disciplines, the Single Fare exhibition also served as a fantastic platform to introduce beginning collectors to an amazing array of work while inviting the committed collector to connect to artists that might normally fall under their radar. Partnering with Sloan Fine Art represents an exciting step forward for the Single Fare experience, allowing the exhibition to remain true to its roots while benefitting from additional exhibition days and regular gallery hours. Additionally, a handful of artists have been recruited to create Single Fare works that will be raffled off with proceeds to benefit two worthy charities – Transportation Alternatives (transalt.org), promoting New York City’s continued commitment to public and alternative forms of transportation and Alliance for the Arts’ NYC Arts (nyc-arts.org), the leading Web and free iPhone guide to arts programs and events throughout NYC. Raffle tickets will be available beginning at 5pm the night of the reception and winners will be announced at 8:30pm sharp.
