Green Art Exhibit : Opening

Bergamont Station in Santa Monica proved to be a perfect setting for the Green Art Exhibition this past Saturday. More than 1500 art patrons visited the halls of the Robert Berman Gallery and enjoyed 50 imaginative paintings.


As art patrons entered the C2 space, they were greeted with a large Green exhibition logo and Marc Burckhardt’s "untitled" Green painting. And before they knew what hit them, two artwork filled rooms delivered a large variety of style, color and interpretation to support exhibition’s theme.


Many people walked through the show together, pointing out their favorites while asking, “How could one gallery setting offer so many unseen talents?” Of course, there was no answer, except for a silent “Thanks!” going on through my head, a shout out to the 44 artists who created major art works for this exhibition.


As waves and waves of people came and left the gallery, the Modlins pulled many of them back in, as they rocked the house with their formula for great rock and roll. The Modlins, are great pals, who have delivered choice music for me before. They definitely have an inviting persona that gets people moving.


Definitely check out The Modlins and give them a listen, as they are quickly emerging. Look out for them at a local concert club near you.




Many artists traveled to the show including: Kim Scott, Cathie Bleck, Robert Hardgrave, Amy Crehore, Brandt Peters and Kathie Olivas. California artists traveled from Sacramento, San Francisco, Pasadena, Riverside, Hermosa Beach and San Diego including: Pamela Jaeger, Bob Dob, Nathan Ota, Martha Rich, Matt Stallings, the Chung, Jeff Soto, Andrew Foster, David Choong Lee, Luke Chueh, Kevin Christy, P-Jay Fidler and Jen Lobo. This kid really appreciated the community support, the many miles traveled and the great times. Thanks to all of the artists who contributed their inspired talents and made this night a memorable experience for so many.


Green will be on exhibit until December 22 at the Robert Berman Gallery in Santa Monica. Tell your pals, pack your family and head on over.
