for larger version       Rockaway Artists Aliance Hosts 'The BIG Show' And 'Of Land And Sea' At Fort Tilden
Then on Sunday April 22 these fine exhibitions provide the showcase and backdrop for dozens of writers and publishing professionals as well as spoken word and musical performers as RoCA celebrates the first ever Rockaway Music and Arts Council Literary Festival from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Festival will utilize RAA's sTudio 6 and sTudio 7 galleries and outdoor Moonstage, while the Rockaway Theatre Company's Post Theatre will present film selections from the works of invited scriptwriters. It promises to be one big and busy, exciting Sunday.
"The BIG Show" itself has invited artists to 'think big' and dare to bring out their biggest ideas in a show of immeasurable proportions. Open to all media: drawing, painting, watercolor, photography, sculpture, installation, video, quilting, literature and more, all works are a minimum of six feet. "The BIG Show" will be presented in the sTudio 7 gallery and outdoor sculpture garden and is open to any and all themes. "Of Land And Sea" celebrates and explores the richness of nature through art. Whether depicting the sun's rays penetrating the deep forest, swirling green tides after a storm or dandelions determinedly growing up through busy city streets, using painting, watercolor, drawing, mixed media, photography, video, quilt, literature, sculpture and more, each artist is challenged to bring his or her own unique point of view to the subject. On view in the RAA's more intimate sTudio 6 gallery, "Of Land And Sea" is also perfectly presented against the beauty of the Rockaway beaches and Atlantic shore and the wide blue Jamaica Bay. The Rockaway Artists Alliance's "Of Land And Sea" and "The BIG Show" are juried exhibitions and both represent works selected from an impressive variety of high quality submissions.
Gallery hours are Saturday 12-4p.m., Sunday 1-4 p.m. and by appointment. For information call (718) 474-0861, e-mail rockart116@aol.com or visit www.rockawayartistsalliance. org. Pictured, artworks from the upcoming exhibit.
