Spring Bull Gallery’s 19th Annual Fakes & Forgeries
will open with a fun filled reception on Saturday, February
5, 2012 from 5-7 pm. This exhibition has grown to be a much
anticipated area event for both artists and the art appreciators.
From its beginnings in 1994, this unusual show has brought
together area artists who enter artwork representing pieces
from the Renaissance to the modern day in a wide variety of
two and three dimensional mediums. Artists are invited to
submit serious "copies" or tongue-in-cheek humorous
interpretation of master works. The quality and imagination
of these works gets better each year. It’s a great opportunity
for the artists to learn from the masters and for the public
a chance to enjoy and own an “almost” masterpiece.
Guest judge will select the “Best in Show” and
several “Honorable Mentions” awards from the works
submitted. The winners will be announced during the opening
reception. Gallery visitors will also be asked to vote for
the “People’s Choice Award” throughout the
month.
The show runs February 5 - 29, 2012. The gallery will be
open until 8 pm. on Thursday, February 9th for Gallery Night
in Newport.
Spring Bull Gallery located at 55 Bellevue Avenue in Newport,
Rhode Island is wheel chair accessible and open free to thepublic.
Gallery hours are noon to 5 pm. daily. For additional information
