Greetings, Can someone put a photo and note about the upcoming Cambria, California Sculptors Symposium? Contact Russel or Paul about the info and photo. The California Sculptors Symposium starts this weekend, then the closing party and art show is Saturday, April 25, 12 to 5 PM. Thanks! Gordon

This is Ramon Byrne. He’s really cool. This is him leaning on a door post in the late afternoon. He recently had a piece in the Ventura Music Festival erotic art exhibition, which toured from the Artist Union Gallery all the way to the Ventura Government Center, where it was actually removed for its sexually explicit message(!). True…his piece was an Italian marbe rendition of a really hot booty….but it was an erotic art show.

Ramon Byrne also recently had a feature done on him in Ventura Life Magazine. His recent series of carved musical instruments is going to be in museums within our lifetime…and will be furiously famous for thousands of years to come. Go down to Art City Studio and check these pieces out. Ramon is often on site, and will tell you his theory on the importance of whimsy in art.

The Fandango Americana Benefit for Art City back in March had an element to it that went highly underreported. So…

Here are some pictures from the exhibit that was installed for the Fandango and removed the next day. Art City thanks the Bell Mattress Factory for giving them the space to hold the first Art City exclusive in years. Art City has been unable to exhibit in its own galleries due to code compliance issues which, we all pray, will soon be abated.

The exhibit was hot, with work by Elle-Je Freeheart, Paul Lindhard, Fred Whitman, Lorenzo Destefano, Greg Kalian, Joanne Duby, and other Art City artists. At the exhibit there was a cathode ray tube displaying images and video clips of Art Citizens, their work, and their process.

Many people who attended the Fandango stopped in to soak up the aura emitted by such an ephemeral exhibit. If you weren’t there that day, you missed it! You can, however, go on down to the Art City yard, at 197 Dubbers Street, and check it out.  No guarantees the piece you want to see hasn’t been sold yet…
