Ontario History and Art Museum

Ontario History and Art Museum is having there exhibit for California artist. (April 24 through June 14, 2009) The Ontario Open Art Exhibition is presented by the Museum of History and Art, Ontario, Associates every other year. This juried exhibition provides an open venue for artists of the region. It also provides museum visitors with a broad perspective of current regional art. If you have not seen the exhibit, I would highly recommend going. This year I submitted "Harmony"
and "Home Alone"
which were both accepted into the show.

On Friday April 24, my friends Chuck Alarcon and Victor Barajas of Barala Afghan Hounds and Missouri Fox Trotter fame picked me up to accompany me to the opening of the exhibit. There we met Nancy Edgington (Journey Afghans) and her friend Stephanie who breeds Chihuahua's. My husband Eddie joined us later towards the end of the reception to see the exhibit and go to dinner with us.

After viewing all the works and partaking in their wonderful hospitality we all went out for a celebration dinner. I was especially taken with the beauty of the drinks as they rolled onto the table.

Other artists in the exhibit and friends of mine also joined us at the restaurant, Luz Perez accompanied by her husband Bill, Ada Passaro accompanied by her long time companion Ron, Albert Vareli and Susan De'Armond who was there to enjoy in the festivities of the night. Thanks Susan for coming along.

It was a great evening spent viewing art, talking with great friends about old times and truly we laughed the night away.

Here are few more closeups of Harmony. "Harmony" is a lost wax bronze, limited edition of 15. She measures 16 inches high. The base is 16 x 20 marble. Inquiries please direct to either me at shacone@aol.com or Heritage Bronze http://www.heritagebronze.com/ who also represents my bronze work.


Until next time, ENJOY THE ART! Terry d. Chacon
