"This Glorious Earth" Annie Haslam

“Colors of Sound and Light,” the art of ANNIE HASLAM, the Voice of English Classical Rock  Band  RENAISSANCE.  Special limited exhibition, 3 days only… May 10 – 12, 2011.  Hours: noon to 9 PM daily.  Personal Appearances by Ms. Haslam during the show hours.  Call gallery for details.   The woman whose crystal clear, high-flying soprano vocals earned her worldwide attention as the lead singer of the English classical rock band ‘Renaissance’ has recently achieved an entirely new level of appreciation as an ‘Intuitive’ painter. Annie is able to ‘tune’ into people, animals, situations, emotions and places, and portray them in her own unique style. Annie also channels her art from deep within the earth and far off in the universe!  On canvas, Annie Haslam’s unmistakable world of sound is taken into unique vistas of color and vibration, not unlike the flow of her five-octave voice. Transporting the viewer to other worlds and through inner boundaries is her ultimate goal, bringing healing, serenity and peace through her work.   Nicholas J. Sands, director of Sands & Company Fine Art  in New York City, heralded Annie’s paintings as “magical, enigmatic  and wondrous for their ability to take us to a far-away place…  of fluid forms that are at once alien and familiar, primordial yet recognizable, which dance in an endless array of colors that are as rich and intense as molten lava.”

In 2009 Annie and bandmate Michael Dunford reformed ‘Renaissance’ and have been touring the world and recording ever since.  A fall concert tour is currently being planned.

My Home is in My Heart: An Artistic Inquiry of Place, Home and Belonging by Philadelphia’s Children

Art In City Hall, part of the City of Philadelphia’s Office of the Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy presents a student exhibition by BuildaBridge in historic City Hall celebrating the artistic expressions of local children: My Home is in My Heart: An Artistic Inquiry of Place, Home and Belonging by Philadelphia’s Children.

The exhibit runs from March 7 – April 29, 2011, fifth floor City Hall, NE corner.
A program and performance open to the general public is scheduled for Thursday March 31 at 5-7pm in Conversation Hall, Room 201 with a reception to follow on the fifth floor, NE corner.

The art exhibit highlights children’s creativity and interpretations of geography, home and community through visual art, photography, and 3-D installations. The artwork expresses the insight of those with the greatest need in our communities – our children residing in the city’s transitional housing and experiencing a time of homelessness.

BuildaBridge’s Community Programs consist of three distinct efforts: Discovery, which sends teams of artists to emergency and transitional housing partners to provide educational after school arts classes; Healing which sends clinical arts therapists to 2 -3 sites for specific therapeutic support; and, Artology which recruits students from Discovery and Healing programs and provides an educational summer camp exploring art, biology and environmental concerns. http://www.buildabridge.org/
