Jenny Green’s “Beautopia” Exhibition will be opening with traffic jam galleries this coming May, and above is a preview of Jenny next to one of her feature pieces!

Since mid-March 2012 traffic jam galleries is working in collaboration with law firm Collin Biggers & Paisley, and filled their reception area, hallways and boardrooms with pieces of art from a selection of our forty artists. The 35 works in their offices are being wonderfully promoted by CBP, who have a very supportive and enthusiastic arts program, and a percentage of profits from the sale of these works will be going to the Garvan Institute of Medical Research.

“Whether it’s through a striking portrait, a tranquil landscape or an abstract bronze, art has the power to capture attention, spark conversation and take us on a journey of discovery. It’s fitting that our art exhibitions preside over the firm’s most popular meeting spots as they bring together people from many walks of life.”

Dunstan de Souza, Managing Partner CBP Lawyers

traffic jam galleries in association with CBP will also be hosting events centred around this exhibition in the coming months to promote the art and artists, and continue to foster this creative and encouraging environment.

In the lead up to Jenny Green’s “Beautopia” exhibition here at traffic jam galleries, we have been sent images of Anne Maria Nicholson (Arts Reporter, ABC TV) in Jenny’s studio. Anne Maria will be the launch night speaker of the exhibition, opening Thursday 3rd May 2012.
