Figure Seated by the Counter by collage artist Megan Coyle

"Group Artist Exhibition" - April 1st - May 7th, 2009

"Figure Seated by the Counter" and "Smirk" will be on display and for sale at Blueberry Art Gallery. Blueberry Art Gallery recently moved next door to St. Elmo's coffee shop in the Del Ray area of Alexandria, VA. The gallery is open Tuesday - Friday from 6pm to 10pm, Saturdays from 9am to 12pm, and the gallery is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

A closing reception will be held on May 7th. On the closing night of the exhibition, the gallery owner is holding a rock, paper, scissors tournament where an iphone will be given away to the winner.

Also, please take note that even though my collages will be in the gallery on April 1st, they may not be up until Tuesday, April 7th.

Other Exhibitions

The "Art in City Hall" exhibition will be open until June 19th, 2009 - so there's still plenty of time to swing by to see my collages, "Benjamin" and "The Artist from a Distance." City Hall is open Monday - Friday, from 9:00am to 5:00pm.


New Site Feature - Gallery Information and Maps

Now when you visit my site's homepage, you can find out more information about the galleries where my exhibitions are taking place. Just click on the "map" link which is located just below the exhibition title and location. For each exhibition space, I've created a web page with the address, gallery hours, website, and phone number for the gallery. I've also included a map for first time visitors.


New Look for the Website Store

I've completely redone my website store so now it's more user-friendly. I've also added two new collage images on different products, "I Dream on Sunsets with my Head in the Clouds" (the "heels" image) and "Blue Barack Obama." So go ahead and take a look at the store's new look.


Website Suggestions

I've become very interested in making my site more user-friendly and although I've added the gallery information on the homepage and redone the site store, I feel like there's more I can do. Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions by responding to this email or filling out the suggestion form. You can also let me know if there are any other collages you'd like to see on the store's merchandise or if you can think of any site features that could help improve the website's functionality.


Have a great week,

Megan Coyle
