RISING MOVED! We're now located at 800 Jackson in the up and coming convention center area. We are temporarily located on the first floor of the Office Equipment Company building as we have the basement built out for our final destination. We are open and will present shows in the temporary space. RISING represents artists from across the country but maintains a great selection of local Dallas area artists.

CONGRATS AGAIN FROM RISING GALLERY!
New Website for Rising
Hey all,
I have received several comments regarding artists work being represented on the website, and honestly, between the three of us, sadly the website was the one thing that sorta fell off our map. HOWEVER, we have recently hired a company to manage our website and lonline sales for us. Soon we will not only have a functional website with artists pics, but we will also have an online store which will improve traffic, spread our name, and give world-wide exposure to our artists.
Thank you for being patient with us as we get this all situated. =)
Always moving forward. Always moving up.
Nicole

RISING GALLERY ANNOUNCES FRIDAY NIGHT AFTER-HOURS VIEWING OF BENJAMIN B. PURVIS’ “REFLECTIONS” EXHIBIT
ARTIST’S LATEST WORKS TO BE UNVEILED MAY 29
DALLAS, TX – Knox-area RISING Gallery announces a “Friday Night Viewing” of “Reflections,” the premier Dallas exhibit of abstract impressionistic works by artist Benjamin B. Purvis. Beginning at 5 pm on Friday, May 29, the gallery doors will remain open late—so the public can enjoy cocktails while meeting the artist who is becoming known in the art world for his unique style.
Purvis works primarily in oils and is garnering national attention for his textured, landscapes. RISING owner Bryan Wetz says, “We’ve had a lot of interest in this show and artist, and Benjamin Purvis just graciously agreed to let us hang his three latest pieces, which will be on display for the first time that evening. This particular series really highlights Ben’s aptitude in abstract impressionism. I don’t know how to describe it, but he paints vistas that people feel a real affinity for—it’s as if he’s captured something they have seen or known.”
The Reflections show at RISING includes approximately 25 paintings, varying in size from 4”x5” to a 4 ft by 10 ft. triptych. Prices range from $200 to $10,000.
RISING gallery is located at 4631 Insurance Lane in Dallas, just off Knox between Central/75 and McKinney Avenue.
For more information on the show, please contact RISING gallery at 214.634.6262 or via website at www.risinggallery.com.

21st Century Vintage - Show Opening!
Thanks to EVERYONE who came out for the opening of our 1st Annual Juried Art Competition, 21st Century Vintage. We had SOOO many people come out to help us celebrate. Our headcount totalled over 300, and, jeez, did we have a blast!
Sadly, because it was so busy, I didn't get a chance to take any pictures. Luckily, Sandy Wright, Josh Judkins Mother, and artist in her own right, brought her camera and has graciously allowed me to post a few pictures she took.
If anyone else has pictures, pleasee-mail me at Nicole@RisingGallery.com. I would greatly appriciate it!
