OVERTONES will be celebrating our 5th B-day on Saturday, June 28th with a group exhibition entitled "Beauty & The Beast". The show features artists who have been a part of our family since those early times when we were just learning how to walk and, for the occasion of this celebration, a few new names are added to the mix as well, to keep the family growing--together, they are our Lucky 14

This is the last week to catch SIMONE LOURENCO's beautiful exhibition "In Bloom"--don't miss the chance to see it. "In Bloom" was recommended in the June issue of ArtScene and it is truly deserving of a trip to the West Side: after seeing the show, you are likely to feel like bonding with Mother Nature anyway so the location couldn't be better--the grand Pacific Ocean is only a few minutes away

The Third Annual Culver City Art Walk is upon us and OVERTONES is pleased to take part. It might be a stretch to actually walk to our new location but the rewards of making it out on wheels will be plentiful: Simone Lourenco's art will be on view, together with a selection of many artists we admire and love. And our neighbor gallery, Cherry and Martin, will have an opening of their new exhibit

We have arrived! To our new building, that is! Simply put, our old neighborhood was just not gentrifying fast enough so we decided to move ourselves where gentrification is taken seriously: Mar Vista! It just seemed to go really well with our motto that finding the true solution to any problem lies in becoming a part of the problem--so, here we are--and we're loving it!However, as it can

On July 2nd, 2007, we lost one of our dearest friends and artists, Margi Scharff. Her battle with cancer ended late Monday night. She was surrounded with friends and love and died peacefully and without pain. She will be greatly missed by all of us who knew her: a wonderful artist, Margi was also one of the most inspiring and soulful people I have ever met and I will be forever grateful for

This year OVERTONES was approached by ARTWALK Culver City to select an artist whose work would be displayed on banners across Culver City. We picked one of our all-time favorites: STAS ORLOVSKI--and as a result Culver City is more beautiful than ever!
