Conversation Continuum: A Benefit Show for Martina }{ Johnston

John McNamara, "The Return of Jay"

Martina }{ Johnston is pleased to announce the opening of “Conversation Continuum,” an exhibition and sale to benefit our artist-run house gallery! We have asked our artists and selected members of the greater Bay Area arts community to donate their artwork, and we have been inspired by their generous response and the outstanding quality of the work! Please feel free to invite guests to join you at the Opening Reception on Saturday, March 9, 2013 from 4 to 8 p.m. You will see some extraordinary work and meet some interesting artists - we host fun opening parties and promise to show you a good time! We have named the show “Conversation Continuum” to reflect our goals - to create a forum for an expanded discussion about the arts, to encourage a sense of community, and to enable artists to sustain their practices. We will be showing a collection of challengingly experimental contemporary art that demonstrates intellectual engagement with the issues of our time and with the history of art in our extended community. These beautifully crafted works embody the wide variety of approaches to artmaking that characterize our time. More than 40 pieces from some of the most exciting artists working in the Bay Area will be offered for sale 70% of the cost of each work will benefit the gallery. The proceeds will be used to mount an exciting program of exhibitions and opening receptions in the upcoming year and to maintain and upgrade our space in order to connect artists with the viewing public, critics, collectors, and supporters of the arts.
