Happy New Year from Segil Fine Art and I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well, healthy and happy in 2010. After a few weeks of “sprucing up” the gallery we are open again with artwork by our gallery artist while at the same time busy getting ready for our new season of exhibits. You will find the schedule below and be sure to mark your calendars and join us for the artist’s wine and hors d’oeuvres receptions. We have a full year planned at the gallery and look forward to seeing you all in 2010!

Valentine’s Day!
”Little Gems”

andrea DernLittle gems don’t always refer to precious stones. If you haven’t yet visited our Little Gems section online or in the gallery, and are looking for a jewel of a gift for your special someone, you have come to the right place! Each of these paintings are under $1000 (most under $500) and lovingly painted by our gallery artists. There is something romantic and quietly arresting about a tiny painting that draws the viewer in and inspires the question of "How in the world did they do that?"
Come in and see for yourself!


THANK YOU!

Thank you to all of the participating artists and our wonderful patrons for making the 2009 Small Works Show our most successful Holiday Show to date!

GALLERY EXHIBIT OPPORTUNITY
Segil Fine Art Gallery Charter Program
Segil Fine Art is now chartering gallery space for artists outside of our own stable of artists, to hold their own exhibition. This is a limited opportunity for a few exceptional artists or art groups that will allow you to exhibit your work to our loyal gallery patrons. We will be offering use of our front salon, front windows, and main gallery corridor during a select number of calendar periods in 2010. This provides nearly 60 linear feet of wall space that could accommodate approximately 25-30 paintings. In addition to the wall space, Segil Fine Art also offers many marketing possibilities to promote your show, including advertising on SegilFineArt.com, the gallery’s e-newsletter, as well as the use of the gallery’s mail and e-mail contact list of more than 2600 patrons each. The cost is $1,250 for a 2-week period and $1,500 for a 4-week period. The gallery will retain a 25% commision on all works sold (which will include credit card fees).
