San Diego, CA (February 10th, 2012) — Please join us Friday, February 10th, 2012 at 6pm when eloS shoes will present "An Artists Portrait Series", a broad-spectrum representation of San Diego artists shot by photographer Rich Cook. Each artist's portrait will be shown alongside works by each of the artists.

If you're local, keep an eye out for this Thursday's City Beat featuring a write up on Rich's show!!

From Rich Cook: "I had the pleasure of shooting portraits of each artist and my photos will be displayed next to a piece from each one of them. I am honored to be sharing the walls with some of my favorite, oh-so-extremely talented local artist friends. Each shoot was so different and fun and full of adventures. I have been wanting to do a project like this for a while and the timing couldn't be better. This year is off to a great start with a new website, new blog and new focus on my photography.

This is going to be a very special and fun night. eloS is a wonderful shoe store with great owners (Lisa and Paul) who are really involved in the community. I would love nothing more than to see all my friends come out and give some support. We will be having refreshments, and as a side note, Blind Lady Ale House is right next door so you can always pop in there for a pint as well! Photography, art, shoes, beer, something for everyone! Really look forward to seeing you there!"

Artists Include:Lindy Ivey, Jasmine Worth, Mike Maxwell, Niko Burke, Steve Saiz, Jimmy Ovadia, Nilo, and Kevin Peterson

Billy Shire celebrates 25 years with huge group exhibition & book
November 4–27

Opening receptions: November 4 & 5, 8–11 PM

To celebrate 25 years of groundbreaking art shows, Billy Shire presents his biggest event ever: La Luz de Jesus 25, a major retrospective exhibition and companion book. The show, offering work by more than 260 artists who have exhibited at the gallery over the years, is so extensive that Shire has split it into two parts, each with two opening nights. As you can see from the list below, the participating artists are a veritable Who's Who of art world luminaries. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see all these amazing artists together in one show.
View the artist roster for each month here.

The book, La Luz de Jesus 25: The Little Gallery That Could, features images of all the art in the show, a personal anecdote about Shire and the gallery written by each artist, essays by La Luz gallery directors and a foreword by Shire. The book is much more than a simple record of this remarkable exhibition. Together, the images and essays present a history of La Luz de Jesus through the eyes of the artists whose careers are intertwined with Shire and his gallery.
View the La Luz de Jesus 25 press release here.

at (323) 666-7667 or info@laluzdejesus.com.

A huge Thank You to everyone who made it out for the Together Forever show opening at La Luz De Jesus. I was able to meet and chat with a few artists whose work I admire, was able to catch up with some people I haven't seen in a long time, and I had the pleasure of meeting a few people who own pieces of my work. There are still a couple of pieces available I think, so get on em if you want em.

The show has now come to a close. Again, a big thank you to everyone for making this a Sold Out show! Opening night was a blast, and I'm so happy that the show was a big success in every way. I'll be seeing all of you again very soon at the La Luz de Jesus Gallery 25th Anniversary Masters Exhibition, with two opening nights: November 4th and 5th!

Artist Reception: Friday, August 5th; 8-11 PM

Jasmine Worth's latest collection is titled Together Forever. In this series she's focused on the obvious (and sometimes not so obvious) interconnectedness of people; the ways our associations shape our lives, whether beneficial or parasitic, enriching and fulfilling or codependent and detrimental. In many ways we are the sum of those we encounter. Sometimes these encounters lead to lifelong bonds, and sometimes the briefest connection can have surprisingly lasting effects. It is these interconnected relationships and intertwining of lives that pair the focus in Together Forever –works exploring the ways in which others shape who we are.

I've had the honor of being interviewed by fellow artist Tara Krebs! Please check out her blog to read the interview, and take a peek at her work while you're there, it's really great!

I did this ema for the "Artists Help Japan" project, curated by Christina Conway. Get some original art and help a good cause! Read more about the project here: http://give2asia.org/?p=7533
Each artist participating in the Artists Help Japan project was given the assignment to create an “ema”. Ema are traditional small Japanese wooden tablets left at shrines with an image on one side, and a wish or a prayer on the other. To help Japan relief efforts, and to spread awareness, support and hope, artists are creating ema with their own positive heartfelt imagery for auction to benefit Artists Help Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund at Give2Asia.

Hello Friends!
Please join us for the Junc Boutique & Gallery group show "Release the Bats!" an art show inspired by Dracula's children of the night. 10% of the proceeds from the Gallery cut of all art sales will go to help bat conservation efforts. White snout syndrome is currently wiping out huge populations of bats, and as of yet has no known cure.
Opening night will be October 2nd, 2010, 6 – 10pm, during the South Park Walk-about. For more info on the South Park Walk-Abouts, please visit: http://southparkscene.com/whats_happening.html
"White nose syndrome is a condition associated with the deaths of more than a million bats in the Northeastern United States.[40] The disease is named after a white fungus found growing on the muzzles, ears, and wings of some afflicted bats, but it is not known if the fungus is the primary cause of the disease or is merely an opportunistic infection.[41][41] At least six species of hibernating bats are affected, including the endangered Indiana bat.[42] Because the affected species have a long lifespan and a low birth rate of only about one offspring per year, it is not expected that populations will recover quickly."
"...What's bad for bats is often bad for people, too. As a top predator of flying insects, bats regulate the population size of everything from gnats, flies and mosquitoes to costly agricultural pests, and they play key ecological and economic roles throughout the United States — making a batless Halloween even scarier than one swarming with them.
Mortality rates of 90–100% have been observed in some caves.
Please come out and help our flying mammalian friends by buying some art, enjoying some music & food, and of course shopping the great selection at Junc!
