People's Choice Winner

Congratulations to Robert Gullan, who won the People's Choice Award at our recent "Inside Out" opening.  Here's some information about Robert from his website...

"With undergraduate work in Physics and a postgraduate degree in Visual Arts, multidisciplinary interests define Mr. Gullen’s activities in both engineering and art. At first, he studied awareness and the nature-of-reality from the perspective of a physicist. In later years this evolved into depicting the world from the vantage point of an artist."  Read more here.

Talking Woman Play Reading

Mark Hiss will have his play, Talking Woman read at Twiggs Green Room at 7:00 p.m. Saturday, August 11, 2012.  In Talking Woman, a haunted newspaper photographer and a beautiful burlesque dancer from Tijuana navigate passion and politics in post-World War II San Diego.

Twiggs Green Room, next to Twiggs Coffee House, 4590 Park Blvd., San Diego, CA  92116.  (619) 296-0616.
Lady & Devil

The photo that started it all...

In Mark's words: "Her name was Soria Moria. She was a burlesque dancer at the Hollywood Theater, which was eventually demolished to make way for Horton Plaza. She was run out of town in 1949 thanks to an ordinance the city council passed banning "immoral" entertainment. The play is inspired by her story."

La Mesa’s Biz Center Art Presents “Inside Out” With 70s-Themed Opening Reception Aug. 25

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Contact: Midge Hyde, 619-466-3711, midgehyde@gmail.com

San Diego, CA (July 8, 2012) Biz Center Art, the art gallery in residence at the La Mesa Biz Center, is featuring art based on the Biz Center’s funky architecture for its upcoming August show.  Biz Center Art is going 70s for its juried show “Inside Out,” with an opening reception from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 25th.

Biz Center Art gallery manager Midge Hyde says, “We have a very nice arrangement with the La Mesa Biz Center so we’ve decided to embrace the 70s architecture, inside and out, it in a big way.”  Hyde says she’s making a special request for artists to submit art that looks and feels like the 70s, art that includes the Biz Center Art building, and anything else “up to and including painting on black velvet.  Our jury is going to rate black velvet paintings very highly.”

The 70s theme won’t stop with the art.  People are asked to come to the opening dressed in their 70s best, a DJ will spin 70s classics, and Hyde is furiously searching for the fondue pot she got for her wedding.  “The jury’s still out on that one but they are looking into any and all interesting 70s things we can do for ‘Inside Out’,” she said.

Biz Center Art is one of the only art galleries in La Mesa.  Located at 7317 El Cajon Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942, Biz Center Art shows the work of local artists in bi-monthly juried exhibitions.  Artists submit their art, at the gallery, to a jury of artists and art specialists.  Art chosen for each show is hung for two months and seen, appreciated, and often purchased, by people who work at the Biz Center or come there for meetings and events.  Opening receptions kick off each art show.

Artists are asked to submit their 70s-themed work at the Biz Center Art gallery from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. on August 7 or 8.  For more information, artists, art lovers or curious souls are asked to visit the La Mesa Biz Center (7317 El Cajon Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942), call gallery director Midge Hyde (619-466-3711), email (midgehyde@gmail.com) or visit the new website at www.BizCenterArt.com. 

Biz Center Art and the La Mesa Biz Center welcome art seekers during business hours, during evening art openings, and by appointment.

Biz Center Art has also received exclusive rights to show art from thePeggy & Dick Handlery Collection.


Peggy and Cick Handlery, who owned the Handlery Gallery in Old Town for over fifty years, have agreed to let Biz Center Art show pieces from their personal collection at the Biz Center Gallery.  The pieces, images, drawings and celluloid prints of scenes from many magical MGM movies, will be shown in a special area of the Biz Center Gallery by special arrangement with hte Handlery family.  Much as they would like to hang onto these classic pieces of cinematic history, Peggy and Dick are ready to let them go to worthy homes.  Because most of the images fit within the confines of the Nowhere show (small, valuable but not too expensive), gallery Director has elected to show them alongside the Nowhere art.  These one-of-a-kind images will be on display -- and for sale -- for a limited time so come see movie history!

Biz Center Art, the gallery, in residence at the La Mesa Biz Center, presents Nowhere, a small image show featuring works of art no larger than 12” x 14” and costing no more than $100.  The opening reception for Nowhere is Saturday, June 23rd from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the Biz Center Art gallery, 7317 El Cajon Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942.  The reception will feature the artists and their art; live music by local musicians; and two specialty food trucks (God Save Cuisine and Urban Eats) parked outside the gallery.

Nowhere provides an excellent opportunity for new collectors to start their collections,” said Biz Center Art director Midge Hyde.  “Of course it’s also a great opportunity for collectors to add small images to their collections.  You just can’t beat a $100 piece of art, I mean, that’s less than dinner and a movie and it lasts so much longer.”

Biz Center Art shows the work of local artists in bi-monthly juried exhibitions.  Artists submit their art, at the gallery, to a jury of artists and art specialists.  Art chosen for each show is hung for two months and seen, appreciated, and often purchased, by people who work at the Biz Center or come there for meetings and events.  Opening receptions kick off each art show.
