Here is a writeup of our Crime Scene event by Colleen Dougher:
Photographer Jason Nugent's contribution to Crime Scene
THE LOUNGE
517 Clematis St., West Palm Beach. Call 561-655-9747 or visit Artnouveauevents.com.
Crime Scene, the latest bash in a series of monthly themed six-hour art parties organized by Teresa Korber’s Art Nouveau Events, poses the question, “What crime would you commit if you could get away with it?”
Jason Nugent, Cary Polkovitz and Mo Brenner and more than 20 other artists will respond to that question with art works that include paintings, mixed media works and photographs. Expect crime scene décor and photos and the event’s usual goodies such as body painting by Georgette Pressler, drink specials, sushi and DJ Joshua Daniel spinning throughout the night. The party starts at 8 p.m. April 20 .

Dr. Seuss: Check out a blog by Monica McGivern
about our Dr. Seuss event:
Seussville, an art party inspired by Theodor Seuss Geisel a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, the man who brought us Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat and One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, will feature works by more than 25 artists including photographer Jason Nugent, glassblower Ryan David of KISSmyGLASS and mixed media artist Cary Polkovitz, whose "Cat in Hat" is pictured here.
There will also be live painting by Georgette Pressler of Devious Body Art, music from DJ Joshua Daniel and sushi from YellowJack Sushi. The six-hour art party, presented by Art Nouveau Events, starts at 8 p.m. March 23.
LOVE STRUCK/LOVE SUCKS
At this post-Valentine’s Day show, artists will ponder the idea of being love-struck and how it feels to realize just how much love can suck. Exhibiting artists will include T-shirt designer Amy Love; henna artist Lori Cataldo; painter and sculptor Cary Polkovitz; mixed-media artist Janique Booker; body-painter Georgette Pressler; and photographers Zac Padgett, Amy Birdsong and Jason Nugent.
Nugent will present “Fungus Heart,” a photo of a tree trunk with a red heart-shaped fungus, and “Candy Drugs,” which depicts candy conversation hearts spilling from a box beside a razor blade. Several of the candy hearts have been cut and lined like cocaine.
“’Fungus Heart’ is a photo I snapped a couple of years back while wandering through the grassland preserve west of Beeline on Northlake Boulevard,” Nugent explains. “I saw it and thought it was neat that nature would form a heart like that. Plus, the fact that it’s fungus makes it more entertaining to me. ‘Candy Drugs’ is an idea my girlfriend came up with. I’m not exactly sure which direction it goes in as far as love-struck or love sucks. I suppose it’s a mini commentary on how love is a drug. I guess the real direction is left up to whoever is looking at the photo.”
The art party will take place from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 16. DJ Joshua Daniel will spin music, and sushi will be served. The event is the latest in a monthly series of one-night art shows painter Teresa Korber of Art Nouveau Events presents at the Lounge, 517 Clematis St., in West Palm Beach.

Art Nouveau
Third Wednesday of every month at the Lounge, 517 Clematis St., West Palm Beach, Artnouveauevents.com
In 2009, painter Teresa Korber created Art Nouveau Events, which hosts monthly one-night art parties at the Lounge. The shows are popular among artists who love the themes, party atmosphere and exposure. Works include acrylics, spray-painting, photography, glass-blowing, live body-painting, jewelry and food created around themes such as love, Willy Wonka, carnivals, deadly sins, tattoos and Nightmare Before Christmas. The next six-hour art party, which starts at 8 p.m. Jan. 19, is titled Steampunk and will explore an era when steam power was still widely used. The show, which will incorporate elements of sci-fi & fantasy, will also feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations.Tom Maley's "Return of Icarus" (pictured here) will be parked outside. Other artists will include photographer Scott White, mixed media artist Oopsie Cake, painter Danielle Osmanski, photographer Kris Starry and others.
The 1st Annual Palm Beach Art & Music Festival was a celebration of local musicians, entertainers and artists. This free event (no admittance fee) presented by Art Nouveau Events and the Downtown Development Authority featured a showcase of art, crafts, food and beverage vendors, kids activity center, VIP area, live music & entertainment, fire dancers
and more.
