Thomas J. Martin Starflower and New Bud received Award

We have great pleasure to inform about the success of one of our artists. Thomas J. Martin's work Starflower and New Bud  has recently received the Committee Choice Award by the Boothbay Regional Art Foundation this year and was chosen to be on the cover of the  2011 Exhibition Catalog as well as in their newsletter. We are also pleased to say that the framed photograph was purchased by an art buyer. This same image was selected by the jury as part of the L/A Arts 'Through The Lens' competition and will be on exhibit at their Gallery 5 in Lewiston,  Maine  June 10 through July 16, 2011.

Protecting your copyright and licensing rights by Daniela Bowker

I want to share with you invalubale article send to me by one of our gallery artists, Katarina Fagerstrom Levring. The article is dealing with basic, yet most important issues for us all creative people. It has been written by Daniela Bowker and to respect Daniela's rights, I publish here only some excerpts of the whole text. The rest you may read on Small Aperture Blog.

Copyright and Licensing Rights

The first thing to get straight is that there’s a difference between copyright and licensing rights. If you take a photo (or compose a song, or write a story… you get the picture) you own the copyright to it. That means you have the right to have that photo attributed to you and you can say how, where, and when you want it reproduced, if at all.

Explore Museums From Around The World In Your Slippers

 Now, modern technology allows you explore museums from around the world, discover and view hundreds of artworks at incredible zoom levels, not even leaving your slippers. All this by means of Google’s Art Project . We wonder what  your opinion is about it? Do you think that this project will replace our visits in museums in the real world? or may the virtual visit compare to the pleasure of seeing a real masterpiece of art. Please, share your opinion with us.
