introducing wolfgang glowacki and macro artscapes

We are very proud to open the first of at least two new Online Exhibitions today by photographer/artist Wolfgang Glowacki.  Wolfgang’s first exhibition with one hundredth gallery is titled ‘Macro Artscapes’.

Wolfgang’s online exhibition and biography can be found on the NOW SHOWING tab above, or by clicking here.

All of Wolfgang’s works are for sale in multiple sizes, and prices start from only $50.00 for a 200mm x 300mm print on archival paper.

words to live by

Whilst the Holstee Manifesto was written over a year ago, it is just as relevant today as any other day.  It is a great reminder to us all that our time is very precious and that we should do all that we can to maximise it.

Life is short.  Live your dream and share your passion.

emerging artists now showing

One hundredth gallery is all about exhibiting aspiring and emerging artists.  Painters, photographers, sculptors, designers, textile makers, drawers, print makers, etc. are all welcome to exhibit their work with us.

We currently have three online exhibitions showing and hope to add a fourth and fifth later this week.  All artwork is for sale and enquiries can be made directly to the artist.

If you haven’t already, please check out these wonderful emerging artists.

art project by google

This is awesome!

Google has just released a ‘street view’ concept for 17 or the world’s best galleries.  You can now visit 385 gallery rooms and view more than 1,000 works of art in galleries like New York City’s Metropolitan and MoMA, London’s Tate Britain, Madrid’s Reina Sofia, Amsterdam’s Rijsmuseum, and Florence’s Uffizi.  You can literally navigate around these galleries ‘street view’ style.

And there is no lining up, no admission fee, and no crowds!

Whilst this is still a distant second to visiting these galleries in real life, the virtual tours provide everyone with access to a computer the opportunity to view some of the world’s great art.

thelma’s flood relief fundraiser at £1000 Bend

by kealey@thelmamagazine.com

Attention all artists, crafts-people, bloggers, and market-vendors! We are on the look out for people who would like to help raise money for the victims of the recent floods. Can you donate a painting, drawing, photo print, collage, or other wall-hung delight? Do you have something nice that you’d like to sell at a Sunday market at one of Melbourne’s most popular exhibition, and hang-out spaces? Want to help out in any way possible?

We’re looking for all types of artists to donate a piece of work to exhibit for a week, and to be auctioned to raise money for the flood victims // We’re looking for people to hold a stall at a Sunday market, where the stall-hire fee (and some of the profits, if you feel generous) go to the flood victims // We’re looking for people to donate items to be used as raffle prizes to raise money for flood victims // We’re looking for people with a voice, to help us get the word out about this fundraiser // We’re looking for people to come to the exhibition, launch party, and Sunday market, to enjoy themselves and know that part-proceeds from the bar and cafe, and anything they buy will contribute toward a donation for the flood victims //

// All artists who contribute work to the exhibition will be featured in the next issue of Thelma Magazine. And all market stall holders will be interviewed and featured on this blog over the next month. //

It’s devastating to see so many people lose their homes, belongings and workplaces to the recent floods in Queensland, Northern Victoria and New South Wales. We’ve been paying very close attention to the news for updates on the situation in Queensland, and the effects that have been flowing on throughout the rest of the country. Our thoughts and well-wishes are with you Queenslanders, as well as with all other Australians suffering the effects of this disaster.

We want to do something to help. So we’ve partnered up with iconic Melbourne venue, £1000 Bend to arrange a week-long exhibition event to fundraise for the flood relief appeal.

The exhibition started yesterday Tuesday, February 1, 2011 and will be celebrated with a launch party tomorrow on Thursday, February 3, and an indoor market on Sunday, February 6. For those passing through Melbourne during that week, the exhibition will be open daily between 11am-6pm. The exhibition will feature donated works — all to be sold to benefit flood victims.

The Sunday market will run from 11am-4pm on Sunday, February 6 amongst our fantastic art show. All profits from stall hire at the market, along with all donations, art sale profits, and a percentage of bar and cafe sales will go towards the Thelma Magazine and £1000 Bend donation to the flood relief appeal.

Want to know more? Want to get involved? Want to have your art exhibited, or to hold a stall at the market? Visit our event page at thelmamagazine.com or get in touch with Kealey at kealey@thelmamagazine.com

Not in Melbourne, but want to donate anyway? Visit the event page to contribute via PayPal. Or send us some art to exhibit, and tell your friends to check out the website.

exhibit for free – calling all artists

In my post on 15 January (houston, we have a problem pt.2) I mentioned that I was developing some creative ways to deal with the planning application hurdles and the impending delays to being able to open the gallery to the public.

I’m keen to turn my negative experiences into positive ones, especially for the emerging artists whose work I hope to exhibit.  So, here is the first creative concept that I have come up with… free online exhibitions.  Yes, free.

Calling all artists… painters, drawers, photographers, sculptors, fashion designers, print makers, etc.

Exhibit your artwork on one hundredth gallery’s website for free.  Yes, free.   Between 1 February and 30 April 2011, I will exhibit up to ten of your artworks on 100thgallery.com for free.  

For a grand total of $0.00, you will get – 

  • Your own page on 100thgallery.com with a brief bio and up to ten of your works displayed for 4 weeks
  • A blog post (written by you and I) on your collection and your work
  • Links from 100thgallery to your website and your contact details so that potential buyers can contact you directly
  • Promotion via the 100thgallery facebook fan page and 100thgallery twitter account

Why am I doing this?

Due to the unforeseen planning application process, it is unlikely that I will be able to open 49 Porter Street Prahran as 100thgallery to the public before May 2011.  Rather than letting this hurdle get in my way, I’d like to keep moving forward with my mission and vision to exhibit emerging artists.

Also, I hope that the artists who exhibit in the 100thgallery online gallery may one day exhibit in the physical premises when it opens; however there is absolutely no obligation to do so.

What do you have to do? 

  • Email me at charles@100thgallery.com with –
  • A short bio of around 200-300 words
  • Photos of up to 10 of your artworks (up to 500KB each)
  • A description of each artwork (title, dimensions in mm, mediums used, price)
  • Your email contact details and your website address if you have one
  • Your location (in Australia) and whether you will mail Australia wide

Fine Print

  • There is no fine-print other than I’ll probably limit this offer to 100 artists with a preference towards aspiring and emerging artists.
  • Oh, and I will reserve the right to exhibit or not exhibit work.  For example, if an aspiring artist wants me to exhibit a stick-person drawing done on toilet paper for $10,000, then I may decline.  Unless it is really really really good.

I think that is about it. 

Emerging artists… start or continue your CV’s here! 

I look forward to hearing from you.
