"Hoe in Peace: Mace in Woe: A Sculptural Representation of the Hamas War" by Hilary McGuire. Saddened by how Hamas and the Palestinian people have traded their food-producing hoes for the woes of war, longtime artist Hilary Paul McGuire has devised “Hoe in Peace: Mace in Woe." This piece was juried into the Sept/Oct 2024 "Small Art--Big Impact" fine art exhibit at the Ace Gallery in Oceanside, CA. Hours are: Tues, Wed, Thur from 11 AM to 6 PM and Fri from 11 AM to 5 PM through October 25th.

I encourage our artists to consider applying to exhibitions sponsored by the HMVC Gallery in New York City.  They often offer online exhibition opportunities through CaFÉ.  There are no guarantees, but sometimes they rent space on an electronic billboard in Times Square.  I had a brief moment of fame as “Tears for The Divided States of America” was displayed in Times Square on August 19 at 10:10 AM Pacific Time (1:10 PM Eastern Time).  If you wish, you may go to www.RichSheaffer.com/exhibitions, where you can see a photo, and if your computer allows, you may be able to see a 30-second movie of the HMVC “Freestyle” exhibition as well.

My oil painting, "Hidden Valley IV, Mother & Son, " has been accepted into the National Oil and Acrylic Painting Society International Members' Exhibition; www.noaps.org
