Painting is Life. Artists love to paint. Artists love life.
This is the message that runs through Dieppe abstract artist Matt LeBlanc’s 2011 Art for Life campaign, which last year raised $38,000 to help in the fight against cancer.
Matt started the campaign in memory of his late sister, Madeleine , and in support of the Tree of Hope, an annual event held by the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont Hospital Foundation in Moncton, which improves the quality of care for cancer patients, and enhances global cancer research efforts.
Now, of course, Matt hopes to raise even more, and has opened this year’s campaign by creating a video, along with twenty-four other artists from every corner of North America, and even one from Australia!
The idea was simple; Matt asked each artist, ‘why do you paint?’ The video, (http://youtu.be/ef-HlRDmScg), is a collection of the artist’s responses.
Listening to the emotion, the dedication, the passion expressed by these twenty-five artists, it’s clear that to each of them, art is a part of their very soul. They must paint. They must create. It’s that simple.
Just as a bird has to sing, so an artist has to paint. Painting makes them feel alive, yet at peace, they are exhilarated by the creative process, liberated, challenged, and rewarded by their ability to express the beauty of life, and to share it with the whole world.
Their collective hope is surely the hope of all of us, to help to find a cure for cancer. These twenty-five artists have united to express the simple beauty that is within them, and to remind us what we are capable of when we come together.

Yorkville Photography and Digital Art
Four accomplished and award winning Canadian artists (Peter Adamson, Bret Culp, John Long and Mira Zdjelar) specialize in the ‘art of photography’ and each will showcase their own distinct vision. The group exhibition opens with a reception on Thursday, April 7 (6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.) and runs to April 30, 2011 at Leonardo Galleries in Yorkville (open Wed.-Sat. or by appointment).
Toronto’s Peter Adamson, who is passionate about photography as an art form states, “My recent work has focused on the interplay of line, shape, form and colour. While the subjects are secondary and the aesthetics primary, my ulterior motive is to pry the viewer away from winter and to dream of summer.”
Adamson works extensively in film and digital media and has exhibited his work in a variety of venues and competitions throughout Ontario (winning first prize at the Neilson Park Creative Centre juried art show ‘Impact 2009’). He studied photography at Ryerson University and is a frequent participant in the CONTACT Photography Festival.
Gemini award winner Bret Culp explains his black and white collection (taken in Italy and Ireland), “These are photographs of matter governed by time, chosen to illustrate the relentless determination of nature, the eternal cycle of creation out of destruction and ‘The Beauty of Impermanence’.”
Toronto’s Bret Culp is a director and visual effects supervisor for more than 40 feature films and television shows including Saw II, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and all four seasons of The Tudors (winning a Best Visual Effects Gemini in 2008). Culp spends most of his time working in Ireland, is the recipient of numerous awards and his pieces are featured in many galleries and museums in North America and abroad.
Toronto photography pioneer and lecturer John Long captivates with his latest exhibition using medium format film with stereo 3D photography. His work possesses sharpness and depth through the use of this hyper-realistic formatting and the result, he says, is the “closest link to reality.”
Long’s work, which was featured in PhotoEd Magazine, is a synthesis of the revolutionary foundations of still photography, with the continuing evolution to both how the medium is produced and what current audiences accept.
Canadian photographer Mira Zdjelar’s ongoing project ‘Urban Connections’ shows her fascination with cities and their structures, which appear similar, almost tangibly reminiscent and different at the same time.
Zdjelar’s presentation is a collection of urban fragments taken in silent protest against the reductionist spectacle of advertising billboards, hoping to open the doors towards a richer reality. She was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, has travelled extensively and is presently living in Paris, France.
For more exhibit information visit; http://www.leonardogalleries.com.
Take Note!
As a member of the Yorkville Art Galleries Collective, Leonardo Galleries participates in the free monthly Yorkville Art Gallery Walk, which is held the first Thursday of each month and coincides with exhibition openings.

The Politics Of Art Authentication
"As is the case with most catalogues, the authors decline to give reasons to their decisions. It's standard." Foundations might fear litigation, or risk tipping off forgers on what their evaluators are looking for, if they were more forthcoming in their deliberations. Yet such silence also gives artist foundations complete authority with little accountability." [Read Full Story]

Using Fine Art To Train Physicians
"Evidence has pointed to inadequate physical examination skills among medical students, and declining teaching of these skills. Some medical colleges are using art as an antidote to the trend. They are holding courses in which students visit museums such as the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts to observe art and devise a 'visual diagnosis' through close attention to subtle details in facial expression and body language."

Twitter For Artists
Social media is growing rapidly and needs to be considered when you think about ways to get your name and your work out there.
Twitter is probably the most referred to in the social media tool kit, but is also one of the most misunderstood. Twitter is a powerful PR tool that anyone can gain access to but not everyone uses it effectively. If you use twitter strategically you can drive eyes to your work, which in turn, can help you reach new markets and even sales.
Twitter Do’s
Tweet about:
• Art and art sales
• Exhibits and workshops
• Upcoming events
• Site postings – Tweet a link to the new piece you just posted on AC
• Articles published about you and provide a link to the article
• Your other social media networking tools; links to LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace, etc.
• Use hash tags (#) to give context to your tweets. This also allows others to jump into a conversation with you based on that topic. For example; I love #art.
• Tweet at least once a day if not more. Set aside an hour daily to work on your Tweets. Search Twitter for relevant news and find other tweeters you would like to follow.
• Tweet about newsworthy issues.
• Tweet smart messages, not useless information. You’ll gain more followers with smart tweets and lose followers when you post useless or improper tweets.
Twitter Don’ts
Don’t:
• “Flood” – Flooding is posting tweets back-to-back, in essence flooding your followers with too much at once.
• Be rude or use otherwise offensive language – your tweets are read by many more people then you even know and you want to make sure that everyone knows that you are a professional.
• Use a piece of your work or logo as your profile picture. It is called “social media” for a reason, people want to see who they are talking to.
• Use hash tags (#) on every word. Use them sparingly.
Getting Started on Twitter
To “tweet” you must first create a Twitter account.
To start, sign on at www.twitter.com
Click on Get Started/Join
Fill out your information
Full Name
User name
Password
Create an account.
Complete a few more parts of your account before you can start to “tweet”
Settings – include all the information you would like to have public, from design for your Twitter, to color. Using Devices in your Settings you can connect to your mobile phone, as well.
Profile – fill out all the information you would like to have public For example, Artistically Connected’s profile is:
Name - torontoartbiz
Real Name: Brittany O’Donnell
Web- http://www.artisticallyconnected.com
Bio- I’m a Canadian art consultant & lover. I founded Artistically Connected - online marketplace to buy & sell original art - & art contributor @ZouchMagazine
Once you’ve completed your Settings and Profile you are ready to “tweet”. Remember, tweets are limited to 140 characters or less. Messages have to be: to the point, quick, succinct, honest, and carry a web link when possible.
Post A Tweet
Click on the home tab on your homepage and start typing your message in the box just below "What are you doing?" If your tweet is over 140 characters you won’t be able to click Update. You simply have to shorten your message to be allowed to post it. If you have a link to share but it is too long. Go to www.tinyurl.com and enter your link. It will shorten it for you.
The Home Page
On your Twitter homepage you can also find hyperlinks with numbers of:
Following – allows you to see # of people you are following
Followers – allows you to see # of people following you
Updates– allows you to see a history of tweets you have posted
@torontoartbiz – allows you to see people who have re-tweeted your tweets
Direct Messages/DMs – allows you to see a history of direct messages you have sent. DMs are different from updates as they go directly to the person selected and can not be read or seen by others in your network. You can only DM those who also follow you.
Favorites – allows you to file away your favorite tweets
RT – Re-Tweeting someone else’s tweet.
Follow and be Followed
When you think of twitter, think of it as a networking event. All the people you want to connect with are here - when you follow them - and when they say something you can make an appropriate comment on, do it! Join in on the conversation. By doing this they will view your profile and click on your URL to see your work.
To find these people on Twitter, you can use the Find People tab on your Twitter home page. Select from few options:
• Find on Twitter: type in the name of a person you are searching for. If they have a Twitter handle, you’ll see their page and can click Follow directly under their name.
• Find on other networks: provides a search on Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL email.
• Invite by email: allows you to enter multiple email addresses and send an invite to your contacts to follow you on Twitter. Your contacts will receive an email that includes a link to your Twitter handle, allowing them to click Follow and start following your tweets.
• Suggested Users: Twitter offers you, based on your profile and settings, a list of users you may be interested in following.
Or you can use the Search tab at the bottom of your Home page to:
• type in keywords relevant to your target audience (artist, interior decorator, gallery, art magazines, homes stages, local news)
• use hash tags – insert # before your keyword (#art, #gallery, #followart, #artists, etc.) to find a grouping of people tweeting about the topics
From this you will get a list of results, review the list and select those that are relevant to you, or you would like to follow. Most people will follow you if you follow them.
Twitter sends out email notifications each time someone starts to Follow you or sends you a DM (direct message). Once you receive these email notifications, you can leverage them by viewing each one of the followers homepage to determine who they are by reading their profile and clicking on their link. See what they are tweeting about. Is it useful information? From this, decide from this if they would be a good person to follow. If you decide that they are, see who else follows them. You may find others that may be interesting to connect with.
It is important not to overwhelm yourself with Twitter and Twitter monitoring. Designate fifteen minutes - preferable in the morning - to post an update. Then monitor your Twitter account once in a while throughout the day and when applicable post a new update. At the end of the day, review all the tweets received, and select which ones you would like to reply to, or re-tweet.
Keep in mind, if you decide join Twitter, make sure you Tweet often enough to make it worthwhile. Its a work in progress work a little each day and don’t forget about it!
I look forward to hearing from you on twitter!
