Arts & Craft
The DownStreet Gallery
Vermont's 1st Published On-Line Gallery
Featuring Local Artists & Craftspeople

.

The DownStreet Gallery presents ...
Art on Main

In conjunction with this month's feature on the new artists co-op gallery -- Art on Main -- we're pleased to be able to present some of the works of the local artists and craftspeople whose work is on display there in this month's DownStreet Gallery.  ...

The Artists:

With some 80 artists' and craftspeople's works on display at Art on Main, we cannot even begin to present an adequate sample of the works on display there.  But we did try to include as many as possible, choosing from among the wonderful variety of arts and crafts a small sampling which we think will give you some sense of both the breadth and the quality of what's to be found at Art on Main.  ... 

In that light, then, this month's artists include:

  • Reed Prescott III {print}

  • Jim Cuningham {maple & rice paper lamp}

  • Mark Benton {acrylic on canvas}

  • Carol Collins {textile/clothing & notions}

  • Maureen Short {textile/hats}

  • Jim Fecteau/Huntington River Smithy {ironwork}

  • Pedro Salas {candles}

  • Jan Fead {oil pastel on micacious iron oxide}

  • Liz Saslaw {ceramic pottery}

  • Alicia Lorenzo {art quilts}

  • Biffie Gallant/Touch of Glass {glasswork}

*Some Notes on Image Quality: Image quality can vary considerably from one computer to another -- depending on your video card, screen resolution settings and monitor.  As a result, colors may not display as accurately on some machines, while on others, the shape of the image may become slightly distorted.  Please be aware, then, that these images are only intended to give you some idea of the artist's work, and that nothing should substitute for trying to see the work at first hand.

    Also, we have set the image size so that it will display in a full window easily on a VGA setting of 800x600.  However, even at this resolution, if you have enlarged your Taskbar, or if you have other programs that sit on the borders of your screen, you may need to minimize them in order to view the full image along with the accompanying information.  Those with higher screen resolution settings [e.g., 1024x768 or higher] should have no problem seeing the full image.

    Finally, whenever possible, we have used *.jpg images for two reasons.  First, the quality of the image is generally better than *.gif, the other standard image format for web pictures.  But also, *.jpg images can be compressed, sometimes significantly, without sacrificing too much image quality.  This compression will decrease download times.  The result for the larger images is pages that will download in about 10-15 at 56k seconds.  ...  Thanks.
