8/2011 Harry Carmean celebrates his 89th birthday at his studio in the high desert with a day of life drawing (with his life drawing buddies) and with a sit down dinner afterwards.

Harry Carmean's art was discussed on the Arts and Antiques radio show (AM 1290) in Santa Barbara when his wife, Miriam Slater was a guest on the show.

A new book has come out titled L.A. Rising: Social Artists before 1980 which includes several of Harry Carmean's artworks.

Harry Carmean will have another show at the Bottoms Gallery located at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Santa Barbara, California. The opening is Aug. 19, 2010. More details upcoming.

Harry Carmean will be part of a four person exhibit at the Thomas Paul Gallery in Los Angeles opening July 24th from 6-9 pm which goes through Aug. 21. The other artists are Miriam Slater, Lorrie Madden and Wendy Van Harlaem. Harry Carmean hasn't shown in LA for a number of years, so spread the word and let's support high quality art with a big turnout.

Harry Carmean is featured in a solo exhibit at the Bottoms Gallery in the historic Biltmore Hotel in Santa Barbara. The reception is on June 10, 5:00 to 9:00 pm, with live music performed by noted singer Lois Mahalia.

The Poetic Eye online gallery (thepoeticeyecom) has the largest collection of paintings and drawings by Harry Carmean available anywhere and also carries the work of Miriam Slater and Eva Slater. The art of the well known painter Lorser Feitelson (who was also Harry Carmean's teacher) and his wife Helen Lundeburg, is also sold periodically through this gallery.

Harry Carmean's can also be purchased through The Loft Gallery in Puerto Vallerata, Mexico (owned by John Strawn) and with whom the Poetic Eye works closely on a variety of projects.

Carmean's work is also now vailable through the Bottoms Gallery at the historic Biltmore Hotel in Santa Barbara (and then you can take a leisurely walk on the Butterfly Beach which is right across the street from the hotel).

Harry Carmean and photographer/violinist Endre Balog have a two person exhibit at the Kapreles Manuscript Museum in Santa Barbara titled "Figures and Flowers". This two person exhibition runs through from November through January, 2010 It features the flower photography of concert violinist Endre Balog and the figure drawings of Carmean. Balog and Carmean have known each other for years and share a love of classical music and art, so it was only natural at some point that they would have an exhibit together. Balog performed at the museum in a private concert for art fans and friends at the reception.

Sept 3, 2009 The Los Angeles fire has burned a few miles away from Carmean's house which is loaded with his art making this a very harrowing experience indeed. Photos of the taken by Carmean from his studio in Acton are posted on the blog on this website.

On August 5, Harry Carmean spent his birthday drawing with all the people he has been drawing with all his life up at his studio in the high desert (Acton, Ca). Some of the people had been drawing with him for fifty years. Afterwards the margaritas flowed and a formal sitdown dinner was served and a good time was had by all!

Harry Carmean has arrived to YouTube! This week, several videos of Harry Carmean have been posted on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.

"Three Viewpoints" exhibit featuring the work of Harry Carmean, Eva Slater and Miriam Slater in Santa Barbara in June. The show features the three artists who are all members of the same family but who have diverse approaches to painting. Eva Slater is a hard edge artist who is the mother of Miriam Slater (also an artist) who is married to Harry Carmean. Although the work is diverse in terms of subject matter and technique, the underlying art concepts were the same....with each artist one can see the making of every part to relate to the overall whole and the creating of interesting differences using oppositional elements such as color, line and form.
