Zarks Fine Design Gallery – May 8 - 12th Annual Group Invitational Theme Show - Widgets, Gizmos, & Doohickies. Show & Artists’ Reception 6:00 to 9:00 P.M.
Zarks will be hosting its 12th Annual Group Invitational Theme Show on Saturday, May 8. Over 30 area artists were invited to interpret this year’s theme, WIDGETS, GIZMOS & DOOHICKEYS, in their own original style and in their choice of medium/s, the only limitations being the size and scope of their imaginations.
The artists bring their own distinctive and familiar style to the project but they have the opportunity and are encouraged to explore other techniques, subject matter and materials than they normally use in their work. The entries are always fascinating, amusing, fanciful, witty, and sometimes soul-stirring and provocative but, most of all, very original.
The show will be on display all day Saturday and everyone is invited to come by and cast their vote for the “People’s Choice Award.” The winner will be announced that evening at the artists’ reception from 6 P.M. until 9 P.M.

Zarks - May 1 - Tim Cotterill: The Frogman’s Back! - limited edition bronze frog, koi, and gecko sculptures. Show & Artist Reception 6:00 to 9:00 P.M.
Zarks will host a show and reception for internationally-known sculpture artist Tim Cotterill on Saturday, May 1, 2010. This will be the gallery’s opening event for the 23rd Annual Eureka Springs May Festival of the Arts.
Cotterill is known for his exceptional bronze sculptures, especially his trademark series of playful and fanciful frogs. In these pieces he manages to capture the spirited character, the jewel like quality, and the pure joy of these fascinating little creatures. The limited edition pieces have a hand-finished patina and are individually signed and numbered by the artist. These pieces are sought by collectors across the United States, Europe, and Asia and have earned Cotterill the title “The Frogman”.

Fusion Squared — During the month of May, Fusion Squared will be featuring the fused glass work of John Rinehart. For over 30 years, John has been exploring different ways to unmask the ethereal properties of glass.
John began working in stained glass and, just like a puzzle, enjoyed creating works of art from individual pieces of glass. But what really hooked him was the opportunity glass provides to play with color. The process of creating is a magical, spiritual journey for John. Capturing the essence of movement and life in his pieces has consumed him for many years. The techniques he learned led him to fused glass. Incorporating dichroic glass into his fused glass and stained glass pieces has led him down new, exciting roads in this enchanted journey.
