Haven Gallery’s focus is on exhibiting emotionally, intellectually and imaginatively driven, representational artwork that connects the audience and artist with universal axioms and passions. They work with both emerging and established artists who transcend their medium and subjects by exploring the world around them as well as the one within themselves.
Erica Berkowitz and Joe Weinreb, the owners of Haven will join us for end of the week portfolio reviews on behalf of Haven gallery for consideration in a group show placement next year. |
Lauren Panepinto
After 11 years designing and art directing book covers, Lauren Panepinto has worked in every publishing genre and collaborated with artists of all disciplines. As the Creative Director of Orbit Books and Yen Press for the past five years, she has been trying to merge the worlds of genre and commercial publishing and figure out what SFF publishing looks like in the present world of mainstream "geek" media. Recently she also became the Creative Director of a new commercial fiction imprint, called Redhook. Marc Scheff Is an artist and entrepreneur. Currently Marc has work showing in in New York, Denver, and California. His current resin work earned him a solo show with Haven Gallery, a 6 person show with Rehs Contemporary, and a Gallery Award with the ARC Salon. Marc Scheff and Lauren Panepinto started EDO with a new model for collecting original small works by new and emerging artists and illustrators. EDO has made it possible for people who love art and want to collect original pieces to start collecting for the first time. The benefits for the artists have been present in a thriving platform for experimentation for small works and the sale of the those pieces every month. This creative team has also developed and information driven platform called Drawn+Drafted for helping hopeful commercial illustrators gain their business footing and expand their knowledge. Marc and Lauren will be doing portfolio reviews at the end of the week. |
