Hello! I am Dylan Butler and here is a little bit about me.                     I was born in Warwick, Rhode Island where I lived for the first 11 years of my life. I then moved to Glocester, Rhode Island. From a young age, I always loved to draw and create things. When I was 12 years old my parents sent me to take cartooning and animation courses for young people at R.I.S.D.

Listed below are two calls for art  from the Women’s Caucus for Art that will be shown in NYC this coming February.   1.     “Bound " We are seeking multiple expressions of Bound, which can range from literal to poetic, abstract to representational, and psychological to social & political commentary.

Each month, Annex Comics organizes a Facebook event called a 30 Day Drawing Challenge. A prompt is posted for each day of the month and participants create a piece of artwork in response to the prompt.

Gallery Talk and Q & A Wednesday, September 19th 3:30 to 4:30pm Please join us Wednesday, September 19th from 3:30 to 4:30pm for an informal gallery talk and Q & A by our current exhibiting artists, Myron Rubenstein and Barbara Pagh.  Myron Rubenstein,  Heads Up , Intaglio, 2010 Myron Rubenstein Myron previously worked as a graphic designer, and created art for years with traditional media, with a focus on canvas, oil and mixed media.  Over the last few years he has embraced his digital skills, searching for the convergence of traditional painting, photography and the virtual world of computing. Incorporating today’s technology with traditional painting on canvas has led to a very personal form of computer generated art. He has most recently shown in the Candita Clayton Gallery in Pawtucket, RI. Rubenstein was awarded a 2012 RISCA project grant for his intaglio prints, which will be showcased in this exhibition.  Find out more about Rubenstei...
