Description
Our culture is defined by the toys we play with. Whether child or adult, we embrace our toys with a passion reserved solely for our special, favorite possessions. The art of our generation is unique in that almost for the first time in art history, toys, cartoon characters and icons from Pop Culture are central to the development of serious fine art.
This year as the holiday season is tainted with gloom and doom of economic news, it is important to remember the purpose of art. Art can lift spirits! Join us for the opening reception of "Beyond Toys" a group exhibition featuring 25 artists from across the US that use the common theme of toys in their work. We are also proud to be a host for the Ventura County "Sparks for Love" toy drive. If you are able, please bring a new unwrapped toy, sports equipment or educational materials to the gallery and we will make sure that it makes it's way to a needy child in time for the holidays.
Sylvia White Gallery is located at 1783 East Main Street, Ventura. 805 643 8300. This exhibition will run through January 17, 2009. The gallery will be closed between Christmas and New Year's. Gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday Noon-5pm and by appointment. www.sylviawhite.com

For almost 30 years, she has been known and respected as a pioneer in the field of career management for visual artists. While continuing to represent artists who rely on her wisdom and experience to place their work in galleries and exhibitions, she is expanding her services to collectors interested in obtaining museum quality work. Ventura, California was selected as the home base for the new Sylvia White Gallery and WHITEeditions. As the first established art gallery to make the move from Santa Monica to Ventura, White is committed to bringing museum quality work to the county of Ventura, again continuing her role as a pioneer. The Sylvia White Gallery will be exhibiting painting, sculpture and photography by emerging, mid career and established artists of exceptional quality. In addition to the gallery, White will oversee and curate WHITEeditions, a premiere giclee print publisher, inviting internationally recognized artists to create work exclusively for the gallery.Eventful Movies
