  • Jen Corace Opening + Our 10 Year Anniversary Party THIS SATURDAY!

    We will be celebrating our 10 Year Anniversary and the opening of Jen Corace’s solo exhibition, Within, with a party at Art Star this Saturday from 6-9pm + you are all invited!

    There will be beer, booze and food aplenty – including snacks donated by Soy Cafe + Honeygrow!

    Nick + Danielle of All Boy / All Girl will be playing an acoustic set throughout the evening.

    Cut and Paste Photobooth will be here with her fun props and backdrops. Cram in with all your friends and take some fun pics!

    Jen Corace will be exhibiting new, original paintings all done in gouache, ink and pencil on Rives BFK.  Corace states, “Within explores the practice of bringing the outside indoors.  I’m interested in representation of nature through home decor, the restraint, patterning and control that occurs within a space, what it means to internalize the external and the private world of quiet reflection and imagination.”  This will be Jen’s 3rd solo exhibition at Art Star.

    Please contact us  if you are interested in being on our collector’s preview list for the show. We will be sending out a email preview of the work on Thursday before the opening.

    ABOUT JEN CORACE
    Jen Corace was born and raised in the not so wild wilds of suburban South Jersey.  She attended RISD from 1992-1996, graduating with a BFA in Illustration.  For the past few years Jen has been focused on children’s book illustration. She’s worked with Amy Krause Rosenthal on the Little series, with Cynthia Rylant for Hansel and Gretal and The Steadfast Tin Soldier and most recently Mac Barnett for Telephone.

    Jen currently resides in Providence, RI.  When she’s not children’s-booking-it-up she’s doing something else in her studio … like drawing for fun or working on projects with her brother.  Or she’s gardening … or wrangling a dog named Leonard … or eating too much toast … or laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling.

  • Horrible Adorables Opening Recap


    We had so much fun hanging out with Jordan & her boyfriend Chris!  They drove up late from Cleveland early last week & stayed with my husband and I for a few days.  We had a fantastic turn out at the opening & many of the pieces found new homes.  We have a good amount still available though.  Go here to view all the work

    The show is up now through November 18th.  If you are unable to stop by, check out our set of installation/opening photos on Flickr

    Jordan had a fun idea to hide one of her little creatures in the neighborhood.  We handed out clues to everyone that came to the opening.  We decided to hide him in a wall of ivy in the back yard at Soy Cafe.  Jordan made him specifically for the spot, so he was hard to find b/c his scales matched the foliage.  Dominic Mambu found him towards the end of the evening.  I was impressed b/c it was dark out and you could just see his little face peering out.  Congrats Dominic!

    Thanks to all of our friends & customers that came out for the opening!  Here are some photos.  Go to our Flickr page to see more.
