More ways to access our Blog!
New Visions Blogspot is now featured on our website! http://newvisionsstudio.com
Now visitors to our site can get direct up-to-date information through our blog, without having to be connected to our social media sites (a lot of you already know we have a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter, posting pretty much everyday!) Not everyone checks their Facebook every 10 minutes like we do (welllll when I am at home... still do not have a smart-phone. I'm starting to think I'm the only person out there) We know a lot of people are looking at our website everyday and we wanted to bring the blog to them, easily and readily.
Big News! This blog is now going to replace out email mailing list. If you are on our mailing list, don't worry! On this blog, you can sign up to have each post send directly to your email. That's a different email send right to you for everything we have to say! It's much easier for us (no more html!) and the goal is to get the information to our fans as it happens.
We also make an honest effort to follow as many artsy and crafty blogspots as we can! We will share with our viewers when they have something interesting to blog about or fantastic giveaways.
BTW, see this awesome giveaway Art Bead Scene
That's all for now folks. Come in and see us at our gallery!

New Visions has CALL FOR ART!
image by Johnathan Lewis © jmlewisonline.com
Are you an artist who doesn't have a full body or work to exhibit? Or maybe you have a few pieces you really want to show. Do you ever create work that stems from your family or your relationship with them?
New Visions is hosting a CALL FOR ART for a juried group exhibit for the month of June, "Family Ties".
This exhibition's central theme will be family, and the role of a father in the eyes of the artist. The role of the father figure, and the idea of family is of course up for interpretation and we encourage artists to approach these traditional themes in innovative and challenging ways.
Family Ties will be juried by NYC based fine art photographer, Johnathan Michael Lewis.
Johnathan Lewis (1982) received his BFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and is an award-winning photographer who has exhibited nationally and is in several well-known private collections. From studio portraits of Gay men which explore themes of body ideals and perceptions of masculinity, to documentary style images capturing life in Peru; the subject matter in Johnathan's work varies greatly. However, the underlying thread connecting each body of work is a precise and methodically trained artistic eye, with a keen sense of color, lighting and composition.
For more information on the juror and to view his personal projects and commercial work please visit his website.
http://www.JMLEWISONLINE.com/
Exhibit dates: June 2- 26, 2011
Opening reception for Family Ties will be held on Friday June 3, 6-9pm
as part of Scranton, Pa.'s First Friday art walk.

Please join us in celebrating this wonderful move. If you frequent First Friday, then add us to your regular route. Or if you have never been to First Friday, let us introduce you to the monthly art event and expose you to local artists. We are excited to join the other local business in downtown Scranton on First Friday and will bring a new and exciting outlook on what is possible in the world of artistic expression.

Before closing the doors to our Taylor location, co-owner and Curator Melanie Boisseau was honored with NEPA's Times Leader 40 Under 40 Award!
