Issue #17 (1 December 2012)

I hope you enjoy these stories and articles, as this is a very exciting time in the art world with Art Basel Miami Beach approaching and so much to see in our own neighborhood.

Do not miss some of the great shows in Chelsea and Manhattan. I hope you can come to our final ArtCafé of the year on Friday, December 7 from 10 - 11am at the Westport Arts Center.

Best wishes for a happy holiday season!
