Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo Enters ArtPrize 2013

Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo joins ArtPrize 2013 with her 30" by 40" oil painting "Freedom Flyer". Expressing her gratitude for freedom while reaching out to others with a riveting story of captivity in a foreign country. Connecting art and her book she feels is the best way to help others who may be in a similar situation and need help out of a hostage situation. ArtPrize 2013 for her is a way to help others fly home free. ArtPrize is an international art competition held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 2013 marks ArtPrize's fifth competition which takes place September 18 - October 6, 2013. The first ArtPrize competition took place between September 23 and October 10, 2009, and has occurred annually during similar periods of time. Unlike traditionally juried competitions, ArtPrize contestants are juried by the public. Artists and venues (exhibition locations) negotiate and coordinate during a process called Connections. During the event, installations are voted upon by the public using modern networking technology. ArtPrize began as an experiment, a totally new event and a civic project on an unprecedented scale. The grandest exhibition in a city's history would transform every possible space, by artists of all background, and be open to anyone who showed up to have a vote in the winner. The method of choosing the prize winner has been compared to American Idol. And it would happen almost all by itself--with no central curation. No one on the ArtPrize staff selects a single artist or directs them where to show their work. Completely unorthodox by art world standards, but intriguing. On September 29, 2013 the top ten finalists—based on number of votes—will be announced. Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo is connected with a venue and her piece will be available for viewing during Artprize at the Grand Rapids Pizza and Delivery 340 State St SE Grand Rapids, MI 49503. "Freedom Flyer" is available for sale for $5,000, but may not remove it from the venue until after October 6, 2013. All transactions are between the artist and the buyer. She will be available to speak with and her of her art piece during ArtPrize at the venue location. Further details of these times available soon. Please join artist Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo during this event.

Abstract Madness

What is "Abstract Madness"you may ask. For me it the use of visual language in which I express myself from deep within. When I paint an abstract it is essentially to maximize the way in which I am feeling and form  phenomenon from my brain. Initially it is unknown what the outcome of each piece may look like when completed. None of my abstracts are or ever will be planned. I paint them to per-say "detox" my brain. Most generally when I paint these my brain is on maximum overload. Therefore, I feel the urge to let it all out. ©Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo

No jail time for rubbing buttocks on $30M painting

My thoughts this woman should be punished for destroying property. The hard work and dedication that is involved in an artist work and this woman got away with this sick act. What are your thoughts and opinions? Should she be jailed or this or get away with it?

Pari Chumroo Goes to the Ball and Donates

The Hume Home Centennial Ball held on May 19, 2012 brought many people to raise money for a good cause. All dressed up in sequenced gowns, high heels, and jewelry the women were glamorous. Accompanied by their well groomed gentlemen in white dress shirts, black bow ties, black pants, and jackets.

It was an evening full of delightful food, great music, and ball room dancers. The elegant setting arranged perfectly for an auction to raise money for a good cause. With collectors, buyers, artist, sponsors, and others the event was considerably full. Myself I donated 5 pieces of originally framed art.

Three of which sold that evening to art collectors. It was a tough crowd just as the auctioneer had stated. With the economy most were not as ready to purchase things even at low cost. A condominium on the ocean in Florida that was selling for a week stay for six had a difficult time going for $850. The Hume Home of Muskegon, built by Thomas Hume, is the Lakeshore's historical option for assisted living. It is a Home away from Home. It provides assisted living housing for the retired and elderly.

I had such a lovely time. I hope in the future that people are more willing to donate to things such as this is for a good cause.
