Happy Again at Last: Life in the Art World, by writer and artist Robert McGowan, is a collection of thirty stories set in various corners of the art world. These short fictions speak of the nature of the artist and the creative impulse, the artist's experience in the world, and the various issues, psychological and intellectual, that are integral to that experience and to the art world itself. The stories are wide-ranging, some of them darkly serious, others lightly amusing. This altogether unique collection is fully accessible to general readers and provides colorful insight into a world that in popular perception is often considered remote and mysterious.

CALLS FOR ARTISTS - Submission Deadline April 1
Still Point Art Gallery | Still Point V
 One way of thinking about visual art is that the artist finds or discovers something - be it inside or outside of the artist - and, through art, holds it still. A photographer captures a moment in time with a click of the shutter and that moment is locked in stillness. A painter paints a scene using oils on canvas and that scene exists forever in a motionless state. A sculptor molds and shapes details of a human body, and that body stands frozen...never to age...never to change.
This is our annual unthemed exhibition.
Selected artists will have their work appear in the summer issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly.
Submissions Close (Deadline): April 1, 2013
Online Exhibition Dates: May 1 to July 31, 2013
Five (5) awards will be given: Award for Best in Show (Single Image); Award for Best in Show (Portfolio); Award for Best Photograph or Digital Artwork; Award for Best Painting or Drawing; and Award for Best Three-Dimensional or Mixed Media Work. Each award recipient will be invited to exhibit his or her art for one year as a Gallery Artist; and to submit a portfolio for publication in Still Point Arts Quarterly, which comes with an honorarium of $100 and one year of free advertising worth $180.

GALLERY ARTIST - JILL VALLIERE
During every Still Point Art Gallery exhibition, a small number of artists are singled out because of the distinctiveness of their work. These Artists of Distinction are selected because their work shows strong evidence of skill with the medium and contributes in a meaningful way to the theme of the exhibition. In addition, these artists are selected because their work is engaging in some special and unique way. Artists of Distinction are offered the opportunity to exhibit more of their art as Gallery Artists. This month we draw attention to Jill Valliere.
Jill Valliere was born in Quincy, Massachusetts in 1974. Her passion for art began at a very young age, and her desire to draw and create became an outlet for her and

provided her with perspective and a freedom of imagination. Over timeart grew into her life's focus. In 1997 she began attending the Rhode Island School of Design where she studied Venetian plastering, figure drawing, andpainting. Upon graduating with a degree in decorative painting, Valliere opened her own studio, Valliere Design Studios, working solo and in cooperation with other artists to create works of art for commercialspaces as well as residences. Her years of experience with decorative painting combined with her formal art schooling brought Valliere to the technique and vision she uses today in her fine art paintings. Her work emphasizes texture and captures the beauty of landscapes and other subjects through her distinct visual signature.My work is about capturing those surreal moments in life when you stop to look around at your surroundings and suddenly everything seems more vibrant, more ethereal. Some days it's the power and energy of the scene and other days it is the all-encompassing calm and quiet that captivates.
Valliere currently resides in Rockland, Maine with her husband and architectural designer Marcel Valliere. She is represented by Harbor Square Gallery, Rockland, Maine. She was named an Artist of Distinction in Still Point Art Gallery's exhibition Sacred Time - Sacred Space.
