Let’s face it. It’s been a tough year so far and we can all use a little levity. So with that in mind, Sloan Fine Art decided to make their summer group show fun – fun for the gallery, their artists and their collectors.

Sloan Fine Art invited two dozen artists who have shown there in group or solo shows and asked each of them to invite 2 of their choice. It could be someone they know or not, someone they owe a favor, someone they’d like to see get a break, someone they’ve always wanted an excuse to meet.

The only rules were it’s got to be work they were personally excited about and all of the work had to be 10” x 10” (small works = smaller prices = that’s where the fun for collectors part comes in).

On Saturday, June 20th, from 4 to 6 pm welcome the summer season with an artist’s reception complete with lemonade, cookies and good vibes all around.

The New York Times - “spctclr vws”

Like Art? You’ll Love Our Condos

By ALISON GREGOR
Published: May 8, 2009

AN art show is about to transform the empty spaces of One Brooklyn Bridge Park, and if Mary Mihelic, a real estate agent and artist, has her way, some art lovers — and artworks — will find permanent homes there.

Part of the marketing plan at One Brooklyn Bridge Park is an art show opening on May 15. The show, in the lobby and four vacant apartments, will include paintings by Peter Drake and sculpture by Paige Pedri.

Ms. Mihelic, an agent at Stribling & Associates with a master of fine arts degree from Parsons the New School for Design, is the curator of the art show, cheekily called “spctclr vws.” ...more

The month long exhibition, begins with an opening on Friday, May 15, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the complex at 360 Furman Street.

“Spctclr vws” will be open from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through June 7.

spctclr vws - Group show Opens May 15

BROOKLYN, NY.- Artists are collaborating, conceptualizing, performing, and much more in spctclr vws, a contemporary show featuring artists and the teachers, friends, students, and colleagues who inspire them.

This month-long exhibition starting May 15 will feature over fifty artists including Peter Drake, Tom Butter, Sara Sense, Stacy Seiler, Mary Mihelic, Joey Hauk Weiss, Natalia Zubko, Owen Mundy, Karen Santry, Janis Salek, Charles Seplowin, Stephen Davis, Frank Detrich, Elisa Jensen, Sandi Slone, Lori Nozick, Tom Lendvai, Luis da Cruz, and Karen McCoy to name a few.

Some highlights of the show include a padded cell, ear trumpets, kabuki theatre, steps to nowhere, a bridge to nowhere, hanging junipers, studio shoes, architectural space interruptions, and personality visualizations.

This is the third time artist/real estate professional Mary Mihelic has been given donated space for artists in New York. This time, Stribling Marketing Associates is working with Mihelic to provide space at One Brooklyn Bridge Park for spctclr vws. In addition to donating the space, Stribling Marketing Associates is giving artists 100% of the sales commission.

The show will be curated by Mihelic who holds an MFA from Parsons and her assistant curator Alma Gharib. Gharib will receive her Masters in Art History from Columbia in May.

Spctclr vws will run from May 15th until June 7th and be open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 6 pm. It can be seen on weekdays by appointment (call Mary Mihelic at 917-969-0222 to schedule one).

The opening is May 15th from 7 to 10 pm at One Brooklyn Bridge Park at 360 Furman Street.
