As HOAST2009 approaches, we want to extend a warm welcome to all the new artists, galleries and exhibition spaces that will be participating in our 5th annual studio tour weekend. We are also pleased to welcome all returning artists, many of whom have participated in HOAST since the first studio tour in 2005. Artist James Horner wrote a wonderful piece for the Buffalo Examiner announcing HOAST2009. He highlights the work of artists, both old and new.
Here is a link to the article.

Think Carnival and New Year's Eve. It is a brightly colored, curly strand of paper that is tossed in the air during celebrations and holidays. When hundreds of serpentinas unfurl at once, they cover everyone and everything in a woven mosaic of colors and textures.
SERPENTINA is a group exhibition of HOAST2009 artists living and working in the culturally and ethnically diverse mosaic of Harlem. The exhibition will feature postcard sized works on paper. The gallery will also serve as HOAST2009's Information Center. It will be open to the public on October 10th and 11th, from 12-6pm. Visitors to the exhibition will have a preview of what they will see at the artist studios, galleries and exhibition spaces all around Harlem. This year's participants include:

Artist Statement, excerpt:
I work primarily in two styles of painting. My abstract landscape series captures the powerful complexions of nature; the compositions are largely explorations of style and color and are inspired, at least somewhat, by early Asian art. My portrait studies, however, address the heart of who I am, as I generally focus on subjects that I find to have historical, political, social, and/or cultural significance. Most of these works are executed with a strong intention to bring awareness to the subject's life, death, mission, or their contribution to society. My subjects are not always well known, exemplifying the fact that ordinary people make an imprint on our culture and the lives in which we touch. "Projects Under Construction" - a portrait study currently under development - examines the abbreviated lives of a number of political activists, artists, and ordinary civilians who either sacrificed, or otherwise lost, their lives in the process of social change. www.OmoMishaGallery.com
