Dog Days - End of Summer Art Show Coming

It's only a couple weeks away. Don't be fooled by the title - this is not a canine inspired exhibit. Come view an eclectic display by more than thirty contemporary artists from around the United States. There will be original paintings, screen prints, and collectible figures available for purchase. Many artists will be attending throughout the three day event. Refreshments will be served opening night.

The show is free and open to the public.

Come on by and say howdy!!!

Whew!!! Sorry about the delay but we've been trying to get some of these items from the show shipped out. Now that we've just about caught up we thought it'd be a good idea to show you folks what you missed (or recap the event if you made it.)

Marshhouse would like to thank the Good News Mountaineer Garage for once again providing a lovely show space. Many thanks to Leia and those who showed up to meet her.

Leia Bell Preview Photos

We've been unpacking items this week for the upcoming Leia Bell show. We are quite impressed with the paintings and the beautiful framing. So, we thought we'd take a minute to give a preview of a few more items.

Framed Dolly Monoprint

Detail of Owl and Cat Painting

Framed Girl with Glasses painting

Leia sent nine original paintings (all custom framed), eleven custom framed monoprints, and eleven drawings mounted on foam core. There's a great selection with enough variety to suit all tastes.

As with all marshhouse curated shows the items will be available for the first week to patrons attending the preview and opening nights (be sure to sign in so we know you attended.) After that we will list all remaining items on the blog and you may contact us to purchase. If you're not able to attend the show please still let us know of your interest. If the item does not sell during the initial week we will be back in touch.

Payment is due immediately via cash, personal check, or paypal invoice. However, all items will be retained until the show closes May 14th. Tax and shipping are not included in the item price. They will be calculated and billed once the destination is known. Items are available for pick up May 14th and 15th by appointment.

Please come join us. We'd love to have your company.

Viewing by appointment only after April 18th. Please contact us for available times.

Latest Art Published by marshhouse

We've got a new art print in the files for you fine folks to purchase. The art was created by Chicago based artist Justin Santora. It is titled Please Stop Keeping Me At Arms Length.

You can pick one up directly from the artist or through his classified ad at GigPosters.com

New Paintings from Leia Bell @ Good News Mountaineer Garage Gallery

We hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. We're really excited about the coming year.

Our first curated show this year will be a solo exhibit from Ms. Leia Bell of Salt Lake City, Utah. The show, titled Bears, Birds, and Buildings, will take place at The Good News Mountaineer Garage Gallery in Charleston, WV. A preview will be held Thursday, April 16th, from 5-8PM during ArtWalk. The formal opening is on Friday, April 17th, with Leia Bell in attendance. Refreshments will be served.

Leia is probably best known for her silk screened gig posters and cute art prints. The prints can feature anything from a group of standoffish seals to a boy "caught in the act" with his finger up his nose.

Items will be available to attendees for the first week (be sure to sign the guest book so we know you were there.) Remaining selections will be posted for sale on line about 10 days after the opening.

We hope to see you there.
