The exhibit "Wildly Different Things: New York and
Dublin" is sponsored by the Embassy of the United States in
Dublin and it will open in Ireland on 25th February and will
continue until 20th March, 2010. It is curated by Jane Ross
(Dublin), Ciara Gibbons (Dublin), Elena Avesani (New York),
and Giulia Coccia (New York).
Dawn F. Schabner of Sayville, New York and a member of Women
Sharing Art Inc. will be exhibiting at this event. She says:
"Recently, I have been working on a series of paintings of
my childhood doll, a beautiful doll I rarely played with
when I was a very young girl. Now, all these years later, I
am giving it more of my attention than I ever did in the
past. Working with it has stirred emotions and memories in
me, many of which I wasn't aware of before."
The exhibition will bring together a sampling of current
thought-provoking art being produced thousands of miles
apart, from North America's art capital, New York, and one
of Europe's most westerly capitals, Dublin. This will
provide an opportunity for viewers to experience the
commonalities and differences of artists living on separate
continents accessing shared information.
The event will present work by thirty artists working in
diverse strands and includes painting, sculpture,
installation, photography, performance, and video. The
program's aim is to create a distilled experience, bridging
elements from the biennale, museum, and gallery experiences
to create a contemporary hybrid art experience for the
audience.
"Wildly Different Things: New York and Dublin" will open in
Dublin, Ireland on 25th February and will continue until
20th March, 2010.
The following paintings of Dawn's will be exhibited in

Energy Interpreted Ginnie Moore, Member Women
Sharing Art, Inc. Sayville.com
October 28, 2008
By definition, we know
Energy as the ability to do things, a forceful effort, vigor, power -
oftentimes a life force unto itself. When Woman is empowered with
it...the sky's the limit!
Come, we invite you to
meander through the BAFFA Gallery, and celebrate Women Sharing Art's
en•er•je interpreted, an art exhibit offering a mix of artwork,
mediums and expression. Energy Interpreted will awaken within you a
new appreciation of Energy as the show is designed to present unique
and fresh interpretations.
You will recognize
energy in dance, music, Nature, the body. You will sense it as
emotional, fleeting, organic, hopeful, eternal, light, dark. You will
appreciate the boundless geographical and subliminal locations it can
be found within. You will feel it in items woven from nature, be able
to touch it as it dangles and transforms light into inspiring images.
Above all, Women Sharing
Art encourages you to 'feel' and enjoy the Show. At some point we hope
you experience the desire to quietly stand amidst the interpretative
works of art... as you do, you may begin to connect with your own
unique gift of Energy. Remember, the sky's the limit!

Women
Sharing Art, Inc Take First and Second Place Awards at
Sayville's Summerfest Art Show On Main Street-August 2008
This was the premiere show of Women Sharing Art, Inc. at an
outdoor event.
"Women Sharing Art"....What a great concept. The enthusiasm
and excitement was palpable. There they were at 6:30AM
setting up 4 tents in front of Starbucks. The end result of
the set up was most impressive. The media represented by the
women was Photography, Oils and Acrylics, Watercolor, Fiber
Art, Mosaics, Art Glass and Culinary Art.
It was quite clear as the day
progressed that these women are passionate about their
creative talents, and are very supportive of each other.
This was evident when Victoria Beckert was awarded first
place for her Watercolors, Shelley Bartlett was awarded
second place for Oils and Acrylics and Sandy Seff was
awarded second place for Graphics.
Their first venture at an
outdoor event and 3 awards! Very impressive indeed.
Traveling through the rest of the show, one could hear the
positive rumblings of other women commenting on the Women
Sharing Art Exhibit. "Did you take one of their pamphlets?".
" We should consider becoming an Associate Member". "I'm
going to check out their website as soon as I get home."
Even though the heat and rain
depleted some of the traffic and some of the Exhibitors,
Women Sharing Art worked seamlessly to break down when they
had to and leave one tent up representing the group.... Art
Glass by Sandy and Kathy Seff, Fiber by Ellen Cremer and
Mosaics by Libby Hintz.
These women define the meaning
of Sharing, Support and Teamwork.
So, at the end of the day one could say.....Ladies, you have
arrived!!!
Women Sharing Art, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization
founded in May 2008 by a group of local Long Island women
who possessed a burning desire to "Share Energy and Explore
Artistic Passions." Sue Miller had a "vision in her heart"
to establish an artistic forum for women of all ages and
backgrounds to come together and explore and share their
"inner artists."
Thus, "Women Sharing Art" has now become a reality.
