Looking forward to joining Park West at sea...

Dear Park West Gallery,

Recently received my Bellet purchases. I couldn't be happier!!!!!!!! Gave me the incentive to rearrange my furniture and re-hang (even give away) stuff I've collected over the years along the gulf coast to free up prime wall space.

Thanks to Kathy and Al, I learned so much. Attending seminars and auctions was the major activity of the day for me, whether mornings, afternoons or evenings. Kathy knows how to keep the attendees interested and as the cruise continued quite a crowd collected to hear her. This was an experience I am not likely to forget.

Looking forward to my next Art cruise,

Will the Next Bravo Reality TV Star Be an Artist?

Source: nbcumv.com/bravo

NEW YORK, June 30, 2009 / -– Bravo's latest stroke on the reality canvas brings Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Sarah Jessica Parker and her production company, Pretty Matches, together with the Emmy-nominated Magical Elves ("Top Chef," "Project Runway") and Eli Holzman, to produce an hour long creative competition series among contemporary artists. The Untitled Art Project will bring together thirteen aspiring artists to compete for a gallery show, a cash prize and a sponsored national tour. Open calls for artists interested in competing in this highly anticipated new competition series will be held in cities across the country starting in July.

In each episode of the series, contestants will create unique pieces highlighting art's role in everyday life, while they compete and create in a range of disciplines including sculpture, painting, photography and industrial design (to name a few). In working beyond their preferred mediums, artists will have to adapt quickly in order to succeed. Completed works of art will be appraised by a panel of top art world figures including fellow artists, gallerists, collectors, curators and critics. The finalists' work will be showcased in a nation-wide museum tour.

Auditions will be held in July in Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago and New York.

For more information on "The Untitled Art Project" visit www.BravoTV.com/casting

Park West clients move on account of wall space..

Dear Park West Gallery:

Because our art collection kept getting bigger and bigger, we literally had to move from our small house to a bigger home with more wall space.

Throughout our cruises, we have purchased more than 50 pieces of art including Erte, Miro, Mouly, Tarkay, LeKinff, Martiros, Behrens, Pino, Aguiar, Picasso, Rembrandt, Max and others. Our home is a gallery and we love sharing our beautiful art with friends and family.

Thank you for making it possible to enjoy our surroundings. There are those who would buy RV's, boats, SUVs or motorcycles. We have seen a lot of these fads come and go, but our art is always here and no maintenance required. Just sit back and marvel at these beauties.

We are looking forward, with great anticipation, to our next cruise so we can switch out old art for new. As Dick would say - "Get the spackle out again - time to rotate."

Regards,

Rosa & Dick

VIP Enjoys Cruising With Park West At Sea

Dear Park West Gallery:
My wife and I were just your guests on the Norwegian Dawn from June 1-7 2009. We feel compelled to share with you the professionalism and attention to detail your staff paid to us (and everyone else). This was a terrific experience for us and we also got to collect some beautiful works of art. It was also a pleasure meeting artists Jerry Blank, Mr. Nano Lopez and Marko Mavrovich (quite the character). As a matter of fact, my employer is taking his family on the same cruise at the end of this month based on our experience.

Regards,

Henry & Linda P.

Dear Park West Gallery:

We recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Martin, Park West Art Auctioneer on the Volendam, Holland America Line, during a cruise to ports in New Zealand and Australia.

Martin's enthusiasm, dedication, and knowledge of fine art is absolutely outstanding. We have traveled on several Holland America Cruises, attended numerous art seminars and auctions and Martin stands out amongst any art auctioneers we have met previously.

He is truly a credit to your organization. He exudes confidence and enthusiasm for his position and is a delight to work with on art purchases and in seminars.

Please pass our congratulations on to a superb employee and individual.

Thanks!

Happy Public Service Day!

Today is Public Service Day! The United Nations created Public Service Day to celebrate the value and virtue of public service to the community; highlight the contribution of public service in the development process; recognize the work of public servants, and encourage young people to pursue careers in the public sector.

Park West Gallery values public service and is dedicated to lending a helping hand year round. The Park West Foundation was created in 2005 by the founder and CEO of Park West Gallery, Albert Scaglione, and his wife, Mitsie, as a way to give back to the community. The foundation is currently focused on helping young women who have aged-out of the foster care system by creating a more complete support system for them, however the foundation continues to support many other causes and organizations as well.

Solace by Mark Kanovich

Whether you give money to your favorite charities, spend time volunteering, work in the public sector, or have your very own foundation, keep giving back when you can because every little bit of public service makes a difference.
