Manhattan in New York City's historic garment district. Open Studios
2007 will mark the EFA Studio Center's ninth annual open studios
event. Last year, over 3500 members of the public visited EFA Studio
Center during Open Studios 2006.

The EFA Studio Center is a pioneering visual arts program founded in
1998. The Center provides artists the rare opportunity to work within
a professional arts community in Manhattan and in close proximity to
the city's primary gallery districts. Members of the studio program
include emerging, mid-career and established professionals who have
exhibited widely in New York, the United States and abroad.

The EFA Studio Center, housed in a twelve-story building in midtown
Manhattan, offers 82,000 square feet dedicated to 110 workspaces for
visual artists. In addition to affordable studios, the Center provides
short-term space for artists from other locations, an exhibition venue
for independent artists, a Printmaking facility and houses the
headquarters for The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts and its
operating programs: Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop, EFA
Gallery, and Artopolis. The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts believes
in the essential importance of art in a civil society. The value of
the artist's creative spirit is not limited by age, race, nationality
or acceptance by others.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
