The Springbull Gallery in Newport, RI is hosting the 22th Annual "Fakes and Forgeries" Show. My reproduction of Vermeer's "The Concert" is part of the show. If you happen to be in the Newport Area in the next few weeks, there are many wonderful works honoring the masters. The Springbull Gallery is located right across the street from the Newport Art Museum on Bellvue Ave. 
22nd Annual Fakes & Forgeries at Spring Bull Gallery
Exhibit Dates: February 7 - February 28, 2015
Opening Reception: February 7, 2015 5 - 8 pm
Gallery Night: February 12, 2015 5- 8 pm
Spring Bull Gallery’s Annual Fakes & Forgeries will open with a fun filled reception on Saturday, February 7, 2015 from 5-7 pm. From its conception 23 years ago, artists have been invited to submit serious “copies” or tongue-in-cheek humorous interpretation of known art work in two and three dimensional form. The February exhibit has grown to be a much anticipated area event for both artists and the art appreciators. The artists study and learn techniques used by the old and modern masters while the public has a chance to enjoy and own an “almost masterpiece” without traveling to Boston or New York.
A guest judge will select the “Best in Show” and several “Honorable Mentions” awards from the works submitted. The winners will be recognized during the opening reception. Gallery visitors asked to vote for the “People’s Choice Award” throughout the month. The show runs February 7 – 28, 2014. The gallery will be open until 8 pm. on Thursday, February 12th for Gallery Night in Newport. Spring Bull Gallery located at 55 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island is wheel chair accessible and open free to the public. Gallery hours are noon to 5 pm. daily. For additional information on this exhibition, future gallery events or member artists please call the gallery at 401-849-9155.
