(Santa Monica, CA) Just in time for the holidays, the Contemporary Crafts Market will return to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium for its 23rd season as the West Coast’s premiere event for one-of-a-kind functional and decorative crafts. This year’s Market will feature the distinctive works of over 250 of the nation’s finest artists, ranging from intricate jewelry, unique glassware and ceramics to hand-painted textiles, custom furniture, mixed-media creations and much more. All items on display and for sale have been jury-selected for their exceptional quality.

The Contemporary Crafts market has been a showcase for burgeoning and established talent for over two decades. Year after year, the market brings together an eclectic mix of artisans, while also allowing visitors to meet the artists behind some of the nation’s finest crafts.

Roy Helms, Contemporary Crafts Market Founder, has continually sought to raise awareness of fine crafts as a serious art form by highlighting talented artists who have created a name for themselves and whose works can be found in national and international museums or galleries.

“Each year, the Contemporary Crafts Market provides shoppers and collectors with some of the finest craft pieces from across the United States,” Helms explained. “This year will be no exception, as these artists have provided visitors with unique holiday gift ideas for the coming shopping season.”

This year’s market will include the work of Joyce Aysta of Live Your Dreams Designs, whose Origami Architecture is the combination of two ancient Japanese art forms: Origami — the art of folding paper, and Kirigami — the art of cutting paper. The result is a single sheet of cut and folded paper that when opened displays a stunning three-dimensional image. Her work has been used by the Smithsonian and other prominent institutions because of the uniqueness of the art form and the precision and intricacy of her greeting cards. Collections range from Judaica to Christmas ornaments to California landmarks, each one carefully cut and crafted to create an unforgettable holiday keepsake.
Also participating in the market is Jerzi Sanecki, who creates decorative brass and glass functional art. His pieces, which range from floor lights to fireplace screens, offer creative decorating solutions for homes and offices. Sanecki also constructs custom motifs that can be applied to his pieces to create a harmonious design scheme throughout any space. To create his hand-made pieces, the artisan draws inspiration from a variety of regions and styles, including intricate Ancient Egyptian designs and 20th century Art Deco practices. With over 20 years of experience in this field, Sanecki’s pieces adorn the interiors of both European and American spaces alike.

Sanecki will be joined by Rubaiyat, specializing in hand-crafted shoes for over four decades. The dynamic husband-and-wife duo of Louis and Melinda Whisler create carefully crafted styles that range from casual sandals to boots. Not only do these artisans craft ready-to-wear shoes, but customers also have the opportunity to participate in the design process by selecting from a wide variety of styles, colors and materials. With an eclectic assortment that range from classic brown flats to flaming red python pumps, Rubaiyat’s collection features styles fit for both men and women. The Whislers are dedicated to using their expertise and knowledge of this field to construct “wearable art” for the fashion-forward.

The Contemporary Crafts Market is held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, located at 1855 Main Street on the corner of Pico Boulevard. Show hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 31- November 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is $7.00 for adults and children under 12 are free. For additional information, call (310) 285-3655 or visit the website at www.CraftSource.org.

A second video I did with some of my favorite photographs taken by contemporary artists.

The last photo is of ME!!

This time I used more photos from different artists, so I kind of lost track of whose pictures I used, therefore I didn’t get a chance to ask for permission for all the pics this time. So if you see your photo in here, I’m so sorry that I used it without asking. And if I forgot to credit you, please message me and I’ll do it right away.

The artworks of the artist, Ariel Oren, refer to those of the greatest modern painters: Fernand Leger, Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, while incorporating graphic influences and sophisticated two-dimensional and traditional animation.
His artwork may be referred to as post-modernistic homage. With a harmony of color and movement and emphasized contours, Oren takes us viewers back to the modern painting of the first half of the twentieth century.
He recreates and debates, breaks and constructs and presents a creation which combines the use of unique compositions, from his personal point of view. Thus a fascinating artwork is created as a jigsaw puzzle of modernistic influences; a puzzle which brings renewed observation that stimulates comparison and is situated between the modern and the contemporary.
