The next exhibit at ARSPACE is Delusional Fantasies and will be up March 30th-June 2nd. The reception for Delusional Fantasies is March 30th at 1:00 and will feature works by graffiti artists Connor Beale, Joshua Boyark and Tony Thompson. Music will be provided by Gavin Munoff on saxophone playing to his original tracks. The gallery is open during all performances and events at the Music Hall.

A little about the artists:
Connor Beale, from Albany, NY, uses paint, ink and aerosol, to express his unique style through large scale murals that incorporate unconscious influences and pattern-orientated imagery.
Tony Thompson, from Utica, New York, specializes in paintings on found objects. This series for ARTSPACE is a mixture of reality and fantasy that is in response to a recurrence of a life-threatening and life-changing health issue.
Joshua Byark, from Schenectady, New York, is highly influenced by tattoos, skateboard art, and Saturday morning cartoons as is evident in his work for this exhibit.

The juried competition will select four entries for top honors. Judges are Charles Lewton-Brain, Hazel Wheaton, Editor of Art Jewelry Magazine, and Edward Mack, award winning metalsmith and director of the Center for Metal Arts. A preview screening of all of the entries will be presented at a dinner to be held at the Seligmann Center for the Arts on August 2. The top entries will be presented in a 2013 Jurors’ Choice video.
