Josh Goldberg Featured at Davis Dominguez Gallery
Davis Dominguez Gallery 54 E 6th Street, Tucson, AZ 85705
Josh Goldberg works in Tucson. His abstract expressionist visions are, to an
extent, atmospheric, illusionist, and the embodiment of fluid motion. His great
intellectual passion has been the Classical Chinese landscape (as well as
the smaller Japanese counterpart) and there is a subtext of this ancient form
in his big canvases: a field-like flatness to the vertical elements, the top of his

Arizona's Largest Indian Market Begins 2nd 50 Years
with New Attractions, Old Favorites
Heard Museum’s Signature Event Expected to Draw Nearly 20,000
Visitors and More Than 700 Artists for Weekend of Artistry, Culture
and Fun
One of Arizona’s most significant cultural events, the Heard Museum Guild

century. Beginning life as a small community event, the Fair has matured into a
world-acclaimed festival that draws nearly 20,000 visitors and more than 700 of
the nation’s most outstanding and successful American Indian artists. Among
the guests are thousands of collectors from across the country who arrive early
to be the first to purchase one-of-a-kind artwork like jewelry, pottery, baskets,
katsina dolls, textiles, fine art and more.
But there’s far more to the Fair than just the nation’s very best American Indian
art! In fact, the Fair is the perfect place for families wishing to enjoy a cultural
and inexpensive weekend of music, entertainment and food. Festival lovers can
enjoy an array of American Indian music and dance performances in the
museum’s outdoor amphitheatre throughout the weekend. A variety of foods

Hopi stew as well as Mexican and American fare tempt the tastebuds. There’s
even gelato available to satisfy sweet tooths.

entertainers, some of whom have not visited Phoenix for many years.
In addition to exciting new performers, expect to see some old favorites such
as the Apache Ga’an (Crown Dancers), Hopi/Choctaw dance sensation Derrick
Suwaima Davis and singer Stephen Alvarez, Mescalero Apache/Yaqui/Upper
Tanana Athabascan.

Sherry Loehr at Leslie
Levy
Throughout the month of October,
Leslie Levy Fine Art will be featuring
new mixed media paintings by Sherry
Loehr.
At first glance, Sherry Loehr's still life
paintings of fruit and florals appear to
be quite traditional. She remains true
to the subject matter by painting
realistic representations. However,
upon closer examination one sees
the unique texturing, layering
techniques, and collage used to
create somewhat shallow, abstract
backgrounds.
It is this contrast of realism with these
unexpected patterns and textures that
make Sherry Loehr's paintings so
interesting.

November 22, 2008; on the plaza through the end of the year.
For over 25 years, Curt Brill's bronze sculptures have explored the human
form. Whether fully sculpted or in an abbreviated, gestural style, the works
celebrate the simple joy of the human body. Patinas range from silver to deep
copper, echoing variations in human skin tone. Works begin as maquettes
(table-size) and later become larger-than-lifesize, yet with a lightness that
belies their mass. Brill's love of dance makes even the most static poses
seem imbued with movement. The figures are not sexual or political; rather,
they brim with the promise of "the sheer joy of a good laugh."

The oil paintings of Peter Holbrook at Leslie Levy Fine
Art in Scottsdale
Runs the month of September 2008
Peter Holbrook is one of the most respected painters of the canyons of the
Southwest. His realistic representations of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon
and Zion National Park are truly astounding.
Although many perceive Peter Holbrook's paintings as photographs from a
distance, a closer proximity reveals an almost impressionistically painted
landscape marked by carefully planned dabs of paint.

Having studied the metal of bronze from his
father since his childhood, contemporary artist
Nathan Fischer has developed hand forged
bronze panels on which he burnishes his
imagery and creates his own chemical patinas
to add color. Though abstract in dimension,
Fischer is able to capture the beauty of the
coastline, the transition of the water, land and
sky with the interaction of light.
