Book talk and signing, November 14th.
Join us Wednesday, November 14 at 7 p.m. in the Clubhouse Gallery at the West Hartford Art League for a talk by artist, author and gallery owner Paul Dorrell, author of Living the Artists Life, a guide to growing, persevering, and succeeding in the art world. This talk is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase after the talk for $15.
The Artists Magazine said of Dorrells book “a frank, honest book about making it (and not making it) in the art world. Dorrell covers a range of topics, from preparing yourself emotionally for a creative life to getting commissions.”
The Associated Press said “ Its heavy on pragmatic advice – from pricing and promoting one’s work to gaining acceptance by galleries.”
The West Hartford Art League is located at 37 Buena Vista Road in West Hartford .www.westhartfordart.org (860) 231-8019.

In Focus: Recent Acquisitions in Photography, on view in the McKernan Gallery from November 9 through December 30, 2012, will unveil the Museum’s emergent photography collection to the public for the first time. Although it was not until 1999 that the Museum began to incorporate photography into its holdings, the collection has grown steadily over the past 13 years. Organized in a chronological and thematic fashion, the exhibition consists of approximately 120 works that chart the development of photography over one and a half centuries to illuminate the importance of this medium in shaping this country’s visual culture.
The themes represented in the exhibition are: 19th-Century Portraiture and Local Photography; Landscape: Natural and Manmade; Photojournalism; Face and Figure; and Abstraction, Conceptualism, and Beyond. Well-known highlights include ones by New Britain’s own Sol LeWitt, and Dorothea Lange, Lewis Hine, William Wegman, Christine Breslin, Alfred Cheney Johnston and Nelson Augustus Moore. The exhibit will allow viewers to not only delve into the scope of the Museum’s permanent holdings in photography, but also to confront the variety of unexpected directions in which the genre of photography has moved since its inception.
