Having a Wonderful Time!  
 Announcing the
Fourth Annual Hera Gallery 
Artists’ Postcard Fundraiser
Past Submissions for Inspiration!


Dear Members and Friends,



This summer, Hera will hold its fourth annual postcard fundraiser! We are seeking artists’ postcards created as original works of art to sell at $15 each for benefit of the gallery. Postcards will be displayed in the gallery from June 11-14, 2013. An opening reception featuring music, food, and fun will be held on Saturday June 14, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. Following the event, postcards will be permanently on sale in the gallery.



Please create postcards for this event and recruit other artists to aid in this effort. You may contribute individual postcards or editions of postcards. They can be stamped and sent through the mail, put in an envelope, or delivered to the gallery. Postcards will be accepted on a rolling basis. The deadline for inclusion in the show is Friday June 6. All cards become the property of Hera Gallery. Artists are asked to sign and date the back side of the postcard and to include any information they would like to make available: a message, contact information, artists statement, or websites.  The piece need not be a functional postcard. Anything goes as long as it is 4” X 6”. Have fun!



More information is available on the website: www.heragallery.org. Also see the Facebook event page. Contact Barbara Pagh (bpagh@uri.edu) or Abigael McGuire (info@heragallery.org) with questions. Mail cards to Hera Gallery, Box 336, Wakefield, RI 02880. Thanks!

You can also view their extensive bodies of work on our website! https://www.heragallery.org/ current Both artists are exhibiting new work this fall after they recognized shared interests in the coastal environment. Pagh voices she decided to revisit the theme of the Rhode Island coast: “For Matunuck Intervals, I began in September by walking on the South Kingstown town beach and Moonstone Beach on an almost daily basis, using my phone to photograph details of patterns in the sand, sand fences, rocks, piles of slipper shells, burlap bags that form a buffer for a house. The photographs were altered on the computer and became digital negatives that were then exposed onto light-sensitive lithographic plates and printed on a variety of thin Asian papers.
