Call    to    Artists!

 

 

2024   Storefront   Art   Showcase

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each year, The Gilt Complex invites local artists from Martin and the surrounding counties to enter for the chance to have their art digitally framed and showcased on the showroom windows throughout the next year. This has become a highly anticipated event and all artists are encouraged to apply, whether professional, emerging or hobbyist. A total of four winners will be selected in any of the following categories: Figure, Wildlife, Botanical, Still-Life, Landscape and Abstract.

 

 

 

The contest runs through Sunday, December 10th.

Winners will be announced on Friday, December 15th.

 

 

Submit one, two, or three entries, with an entry fee of $10 per submission.

 

 

**Please note that all entries must be high-res jpegs in a portrait orientation**

 

 

Portrait orientation is important!

 

 

Landscape or square art won’t fit properly in the windows.

 

 

 

 

Details can be found at the link below.

https://www.thegiltcomplex.com/2024-storefront-art-showcase

 

 

 

With between 80 and 100 entries, typically, every year the art submitted and the resulting windows are different, so there’s no clear advice that can be given about what type of art or look has the best chance of being selected. They balance the four selections against one another in terms of color, texture and subject. It all depends on what is submitted and, therefore, what they have to work with.  

 

Katie Gianni tells The Rickie Report, “Some years ten winners could easily be chosen, while other years they struggle to find that perfect fit. Therefore, their advice boils down to this: send the best representation of your art that will pop off the windows and into the hearts of passersby”.

 

 

 

This year, The Gilt Complex has moved the contest to an entirely digital format. Just click the link below to their website page explaining the rules and further details. At the bottom of that page is a link to the entry form. You upload your images into that form and pay the fee directly from the form.  The Gilt Complex encourages anyone with any interest in publicly showcasing their art in Stuart to enter.

 

 

 

Don’t hesitate to contact them directly if you have any questions about the contest. Call Katie Gianni at 772-463-0125 or email her at katie@thegiltcomplex.com.

“French Pastry” by Judith Karr Eisinger

 

 

Sometimes we just want to be enchanted, engaged, and enthralled. In this exhibition, Florida’s flamingos will be represented in all their glory along with a wide array of quirky and beautiful visual creations. With specific installations that will evolve throughout the show’s run, visitors are encouraged to return again and again.

 

 

 

Exhibition: November 17, 2023 – January 13, 2024

 

 

Gallery View of Judith Karr Eisinger’s artworks

 

 

Born in Budapest, Hungary, and escaping that communist country in 1956, Judy moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where she began painting at an early age and, at 13, took first place for the design of the City Holiday Card.

 

 

Judy studied fine art at the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cooper School of Art, which led to a four-year scholarship to Kent State University. After graduating with honors, Judy began her painting career by showing her colorful paintings at the Shaker Heights Artist’s Cooperative Gallery. Her work soon became sought after and now hangs in private collections throughout the United States, Europe and Israel.

 

 

 

Artwork by Judith Karr Eisinger

 

 

 

 

Soon after moving to Florida, Judy was commissioned to paint 24 paintings for the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Over the years, Judy’s talent and wealth of experience has brought an open-minded adaptive process to her paintings, which have earned her a covey of regional and national awards.

Judith Karr Eisinger’s Design for Broward Center For Performing Arts

 

 

 

 

Judy is the owner and creative lead at Yudit Design, a full-service advertising and graphic design firm located in Wellington, Florida (www.yudit.com).  Because of her belief that fine art is the essence of graphic design, Judy has received recognition both for her paintings and for her graphic design work which has garnered several Advertising Federation Silver Addy’s.

 

 

 

Ad Campaign For Dole.Com by Judith Karr Eisinger

 

Judith tells The Rickie Report, “Yudit Design is a brand new kind of marketing/advertising resource for your business. Think of us as an extended ring of top-flight creative and business talent – from award-winning graphic designers, copywriters and photographers, to veteran business coaches, strategists and media planners. Virtually all of whom, by the way, carry Big Agency resumes and have worked on Fortune 500 accounts for the last two decades…. often together”.

 

 

 

 

 

Judy tells The Rickie Report, “For me, art has always evolved from impressions of life, rather than a strict rendering of a given subject. In every new painting, I love the ebb and flow of line and bold colors, the power of less is more, and the ways simplicity and boldness together can magically evoke sensation.”

 

 

“Jacobs Field” by Judith Karr Eisinger

 

 

“To make these wonderful discoveries and impressions, I’ve created a unique process that I like to call “multi-media” — traditional paper and pencil emboldened by techniques using new technology. This method gives me the freedom to focus on being truly imaginative and unbounded, in my approach to the subject, in my process, in my technique.”

 

 

“Typically, I begin with an idea, traditional paper and pencil, and an original drawing. I then use computer software to ‘paint’ the solid, bold colors and print my work to canvas. Once on canvas, I complete the piece with brush and paint, making each painting a one-of-a-kind work of art, she explains.”

 

 

 

“Parrot Lady on Parade” by Judith Karr Eisinger

 

 

 

 

Judy’s style of painting may have changed over the years, but her fascination with the human condition as a subject matter has not.  She shares, “My favorite figure painting was done in college—an aging female model wearing the scars of life. The first painting I ever sold in the early ‘70s was of a homeless man in the depth of a Cleveland winter.  I paint because it’s what I love to do, and always have.  My first painting was in third grade. My last one, thankfully, is yet to come.”

 

 

 

“Escape. A Long Walk To Freedom” by Judith Karr Eisinger

 

October 1956. Budapest, Hungary: Life forever changed for seven year old Yudit.

Her excitement of starting school for the very first time was replaced by fear as Soviet tanks rolled down her street destroying life as she knew it. One building, one window at a time.

This harrowing true story follows Yudit and her family’s daring escape from Communist Hungary

With the unknown risks and challenges they were about to face, their fear to stay was greater than their fear to go.
