Xanadu Gallery announces the launch of ArtTracker 2.0.

"Art Tracker is flexible, simple, powerful, art management software.  Created to help you easily organize your artwork and keep track of your inventory, Art Tracker now runs on both Mac and PC.

Visit www.xanadugallery.com/arttracker to learn more about the software, read FAQ's and watch video demonstrations of the software in action.

As a professional artist, you are a small business owner. Keeping track of inventory, galleries, and customers is critical to your success. Art Tracker is the artist business software system that will allow you to spend more time in the studio and less time stressing about which artwork is where, and who is interested in what piece. This artist management software was developed by Xanadu Gallery with both gallery and self-represented artists in mind.

The Kensington/Stobart Gallery presents "Art That Has Ap-peel" by SAA Member Charles Lang

March 4 - March 31

The exhibit features the amusingly appetizing, temptingly tasty, deliciously flavorful theme-based collection by Charles Lang.  Working in acrylics, Lang has focused on bananas engaged in their wild, whimsical escapades to create his contemporary, allegorical paintings, marrying his art with word play in his painting titles.  The show will surely "appeel" to all ages.
 
A Meet the Artist reception will take place on Thursday, March 11, 5-7pm at the Kensington/Stobart Gallery at the Hawthorne Hotel, on the Common, Salem, MA  For more information, please call 978-825-0022.  This event is free and open to the public.
