Benefiting The Fund for Public Schools



Please join us for the Third Annual Madison Avenue Gallery Walk – an event highlighting the art galleries located on Madison Avenue between East 57 and East 86 Streets. Enjoy free guided gallery tours, meet exhibiting artists and learn about current collections from curators and artists. You can also view artwork from the city's talented students, take part in a scavenger hunt, and more!



The event will benefit The Fund for Public Schools, a nonprofit organization Chaired by NYC Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and Vice Chaired by Caroline Kennedy and Mortimer Zuckerman. Funds raised through this event will benefit arts education programs in New York City's public schools, a component in the curriculum that is critically important for student success. The Gallery Walk will take place during normal gallery hours (10:00 AM to 6:00 PM) on Saturday, May 15, 2009.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

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
