Brumfield's Party Press Release

Don't forget about our birthday and holiday party coming up next week!

We've drawn up a little press release for the event.  Have a look!

First Birthday and Christmas Party

You are officially invited to our celebration!

In honor of our first birthday in the new Hyde Park location and just in time for the holiday season, we're hosting a party (complete with a no-host bar from 13th Street Pub & Grill and plenty of Christmas goodies and sweets).

The party will run alongside the two exhibitions we have here at the gallery: Michael deMeng's solo exhibition and 'Small Whimsy,' the group show featuring six contemporary artists.  This will be one of the last times to see deMeng's work in the gallery (and Idaho, for that matter) - so get your last look in while you can.

The event is open to the public, so come one come all!

Small Whimsy Opening

Small Whimsy opens tonight!

Stop by the gallery between 7 - 9 p.m. to see new work by Jackie Hurlbert, Jola Spytkowska, Laura Lloyd, Leslie Hinton, Kina Crow, and Lisa Kaser.

Does anyone else think of a class photo?

Happy Friday!

Goodies from Portland

The owners have arrived back from Portland and brought some lovely pieces in tow.  Here's sneak peek...

We have some new sculptures by Lisa Kaser, along with some of her lovely watercolor and collage illustrations.

We've also received new additions to Jackie Hurlbert's collection of sculptures as well as her oil paintings.

For now, all of these are safely tucked away in our storage room.  You'll have to wait until 'Small Whimsy' to see everything - so stop by the opening in November!

See you there!

Brumfield's Gallery on Kickstarter

We've just launched a new project on Kickstarter this week.  We hope to commission British sculptor Leigh Dyer for a solo show in September 2014.

An example of Dyer's work

In order to bring such a large show to the US (Dyer's first stateside), our budget needs a supplementary $4,000.  We're accepting donations from $1 and up, all of which come with special prizes.  Donators can receive a signed exhibition poster, exclusive updates on the commission, or an original Dyer piece - it all depends on what you donate!

We also launched a press release with more details of the project, which you can read on Scribd.

If you'd like to help out Brumfield's Gallery, simply follow the link here.

Thanks!

Gallery Update

It's been a little while since we've posted.  We thought we'd clue you in on some updates we've made around the gallery lately...

We've just put the finishing touches on Michael deMeng's solo show in the front gallery.  The opening reception will be on Saturday, October 12th from 7 - 9 p.m.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Michael de Meng

We also received a shipment from SugarPost Metal.  We ordered a few more Gnome Be Gones, a flying pig, and this spider just in time for Halloween!

We also kicked off our new opening hours this week.  From now on, we will be open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

See you around!

New SugarPost Pieces

Good morning!

We received a new shipment of goodies from SugarPost a few days ago.  We thought we'd give you sneak peek, but come by the gallery to see everything we just got!

Check out that flying pig!

Hyde Park Street Fair

Any plans this weekend?  Don't forget about the Hyde Park Street Fair!  Brumfield's Gallery will be open until 9 p.m. on Saturday - you should stop by!

AIP & HPSF

We'd like to extend a big thank you to all the people who stopped by and visited Brumfield Gallery's tent at Art in the Park this past weekend. We had a huge crowd and a great response!

Don't forget about Art in the Park's quirkier sister, the Hyde Park Street Fair. It runs from Saturday to Sunday along both 13th street and in Camel's Back Park. We'll be open for the festivities, so stop by!

Art in the Park

Happy Friday!

Today is the first day of Boise's annual event, Art in the Park.  The three-day event is hosted by the Boise Art Museum and includes booths from local artists, food, and performances.

This year, Brumfield's Gallery is part of sponsoring the event, so we've set up a booth in the park for the weekend.  We'll be handing out information on our current exhibition, the upcoming shows, and the growing framing business.

For more information, you can follow the link here.

If you find yourself at the event this weekend, stop by and say hello!

New Ceramics

We've just received a few shipments for the newest ceramics in the Gift Gallery.  We thought you'd like a peek into the latest pieces to arrive...

Patty Bilbro's ceramics feature her fetching (and often grumpy) hand illustrated figures.

Erik Haagensen combines monsters and animals with cheeky quips for uniquely adorned mugs, shotglasses, and vases.

Luba Sharapan's pieces are colorful and whimsical, in perfect keeping with our Boise North End location.

We're thrilled with all the new work and are quite happy how well they fit in with the gallery's quirkiness.  What do you think?

Kristian Adam's Exhibition Opening

Mark your calendars!

Don't forget to stop by Kristian Adam's exhibition opening for 'A Woodland Recital' tomorrow evening from 7 - 9 p.m. here at the gallery.

See you there!

Kristian Adam Cover

Kristian Adam's 'Tabla Drummer' is gracing the cover of the Boise Weekly this week.

The Weekly has also included a short blurb about the upcoming show just in time for his exhibition opening this Saturday from 7 - 9 p.m.

Pick up a free copy today!

More Artist Pages

As we mentioned in our last post, we're starting to update to our website.  The biggest change is the additional artist pages we're adding to nearly every artist currently in the Brumfield's Gallery.

This week we're just about finished adding information for each of our Selected Artists and the artists currently featured in our Gift Gallery.  Now you can read about Kay Seurat's jewelry, Bill Carman's paintings, and Erik Haagensen's ceramics (arriving Monday!).

If you've ever wanted to know more about any particular artist in our gallery, pop on over the website to see what we have up so far.  If your favorite artist isn't up yet, we assure you he or she will be soon!

Happy weekend!

Artists Pages

We're currently working on a new feature for the gallery's website.

Want to see?...

 If you peruse our inventory (found on the Inventory Search tab), you'll find the list of Selected Artists on the left.  Soon, each name will have a link to their own artist's page, where we'll include an image and a short statement about each artist's body of work.

As you can see, we have information up for Ego (our current exhibiting artist), and the next two upcoming artists, Kristian Adam and Michael de Meng.  The rest of the selected artists will be linked up shortly, so keep an eye out for that.

Go ahead and check it out for yourself!
