Catherine McCormack-Skiba, the founder of www.myartspace.com, speaks with a NYAXE Gallery visitor.

The opening of the Spring Exhibition at NYAXE Gallery was held on May 21st. The exhibit featured works by myartspace.com members Jane Fulton Alt, Leah Tomaino, and Miles Holbert-- the finalists of the most recent NYAXE Gallery representation competition on www.myartspace.com. Seventeen artists from the myartspace.com community were represented digitally at the gallery space.

The exhibit opened at 6pm and came to a close at 10pm. A steady flow of gallery visitors were present-- over 100 people were counted during the early hours of the opening. The technology, powerful works of contemporary art, and music set the pace of the environment as cocktails were served. The event was yet another successful example of the meshing between the physical and online art world.

Enjoyed the opening. Surprised to see my picture posted. Must be the hat! The gallery is a great idea and separates your group from the other art groups.
