Hi,

The gallery is getting brand new drywall and a new AC. I took the computer 
home to keep it dust free. So, I will send out this giant email based on 
events around town that look pretty cool. Absolutely, none of them are at 
www.gallerylombardi.com. The Gallery will re-open in the end of May. There 
are toooo many Saturday events to pick from. 
ciao,
Rachel Koper

ARTIST RECEIVES POLLOCK-KRASNER GRANT
With an artistic style full of color and positive energy, Joan Fabian, artist 
and former art instructor at San Antonio College, recently received a Pollock-
Krasner Foundation, Inc. grant for an undisclosed amount to support her living 
and working expenses for one year.

Fabian's art is described as playful forms that are lively and resilient to 
change. It transcends contemporary art clichés to include social issues of 
media influences and psychological hierarchies, and encourages the viewer to 
use personal experience for image interpretation. Critics write that she mixes 
a variety of influences into her simple, exotically patterned, cartoonish 
figures. Samples can be seen at www.joanfabian.com.

Pollock-Krasner grants have enabled artists to create new work, purchase needed 
materials and pay for studio rent, as well as personal and medical expenses. 
Past recipients of Pollock-Krasner grants acknowledge their impact in allowing 
concentrated time for studio work, and in preparing for exhibitions and other 
professional opportunities, which have advanced their careers. Since its 
inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $38 million to artists in 65 
countries. Painters, sculptors, printmakers and artists who work on paper are 
eligible to apply. Visit www.pkf.org for more information.
