More Richard Schmid News

Kristen Thies of West Wind Fine Art has announced that there will be a catalog accompanying the upcoming exhibition at New York's Salmagundi Club, Richard Schmid and His Influence:  Childhood Innocence.  Full-color reproductions of paintings by Schmid and the thirteen other artists in the show are included.  This catalog will be available from West Wind beginning June 1st, and the $15 price for the first edition includes shipping.  The show itself runs from June 6th through June 13th.

------------------------------

Tickets to Schmid's digital presentation at The Salmagundi Club on June 7th are still available from Theater Mania for $23.65 each.  These tickets are for the simultaneous video feed of Schmid's performance, as the tickets to his live speech sold out within hours of them becoming available.  The seating will be in a room other than the main auditorium, but there will be opportunities, I assume, to meet with Richard and the other artists present after Schmid's talk.  Schmid will be available for book signing that day as well.

------------------------------

Artist Nancy Guzik has also prepared an art guide, available for a small fee, for children ages 6-10, to introduce them to the Childhood Innocence exhibition.  "We wanted children to have something to take home from this experience," said Guzik, "so I created 'An Art Guide for Children' to help children engage with the paintings, artists, and their parents."  During the weekdays of the exhibition, June 8th - 12th, the hour from 4:00-5:00 PM will be dedicated to children,  who are welcome to the show with adult supervision.

Katie Swatland's monthly online lessons, "Learning From Richard Schmid" also begin in June.  I have signed up for the first three months, and am looking forward to the first installment!
