Rick Fleury Collectors Showroom™

Rick Fleury Collectors Showroom™, a new approach to art, business and design, will be opening soon in New Bedford.

The 3,000 square-foot showroom is located just off Route 195 in the historic Nashawena Mills building, built in 1909, and

home to the factory of internationally-known designer Joseph Abboud. The space is undergoing extensive renovation while

maintaining the historical integrity and ambiance of the 100 year-old mill. Renovation and design plans include floor refinishing,

wall plastering and painting, reception, art storage, studio space, and a unique viewing area which will offer private collectors

and design professionals a new approach to the viewing, planning and selection of the artist's work on canvas and copper.

Each viewing will be customized for the individual client's needs and interests. The showroom will also integrate the talent

of designers from various fields including architecture, interior design, industrial design, sculpture, graphics, lighting, and

furnishings.

The Collectors Showroom™ name, service and concept has been filed for Trademark and Service mark registration with the

United States Patent and Trademark Office. As of December 15, 2011, the trademark and service mark application has been

reviewed by federal attorneys, and registration is pending. Now protected in a wide geographical area, once federal notification

is received, the Collectors Showroom™ mark will appear with the registered trademark symbol, signifying it is a registered

trademark recognized nationally, and, in most cases, internationally, to identify that the products and services to consumers

with which the trademark appears originate from a single source, and to distinguish its products and services from those of

other entities.

Trademark prevents any unauthorized use of that trademark and its services.

The Showroom is now open, and scheduling for private appointments, as well as the events and exhibitions calendar for 2012.

For more information on the space, current inventory, or for an appointment, contact the Showroom anytime at 774.202.4475 or

East Meets West

Winter Ice (II), Oil on Canvas, 40" x 40" x 1.5"

Winter Ice, capturing East Harbor, Provincetown in a frozen, mid-winter setting, was commissioned for a private residence

in Aspen, Colorado. The 40" x 40" x 1.5" piece was created for the Great Room of an Aspen home. It was framed and shipped

to the collector from Boston, and is now installed. The project was commissioned through the Copley Society of Art.

Nauset View

Nauset View, Oil on Canvas, 54" x 46" x 1.5"

Nauset View captures the spectacular view looking north from the collector's oceanfront property on Nauset Heights

in Orleans, the location of their future summer home. The couple commissioned the artist to interpret the view on canvas for

their primary residence in Andover, Massachusetts – so they could enjoy their Cape Cod view year-round.

The large piece, sized to fit existing architectural detailing, was framed in a dark, floater frame, and delivered to Andover.

Images and Remembrances of the National Seashore, a multi-media presentation with Mass Audubon Senior Naturalist

Dennis Murley, first given July 24 at Addison Art Gallery in Orleans, was offered at the Cape Cod National Seashore

as part of their 50th Anniversary Celebration of talks and events. The discussion took place Saturday, October 8,

The artist shared his views of the Seashore as an artist inspiration, with historical and ecological insights from Murley,

a native Cape Codder. Murley's work with Mass Audubon for more than 26 years, and his efforts with whales, seals, sea

turtles, osprey and other rare and endangered species of the Outer Cape, has been featured in Smithsonian Magazine,

USA Today, The Boston Globe and on NPR.

Copley Society of Art

The artist joined the ranks of the Copley Society of Art, by invitation, in the fall of 2006. CoISo is the oldest non-profit art association in the United States.

Established in Boston in 1879 by the first graduates of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, artist membership is based on competitive review,

and opens doors to representation at the Newbury Street gallery, comaraderie and gatherings among fellow artists, opportunities for education,

outreach, juried exhibitions, and a professional credentialing system offering artists opportunity for further distinction throughout their professional career.

with complex language, learning and cognitive disabilities, hosted its annual Village of Dreams Gala Friday, June 10, 2011.
The artist, along with Addison Art Gallery, donated Westward, a 30" x 40" x 1.5" oil on copper valued at $5800.00, to the event's live auction.
Proceeds from this event help support and fund the School's facilities, campus buildings, dormitories, technology initiatives, arts program
and more. Located in East Sandwich, 75 miles from Boston and Providence, the School's current enrollment includes students from 29 states
and 11 foreign countries.

A generous patron bid handsomely on the piece, and donated Westward back to the school, where it will remain in the Riverview Conference Room

in perpetuity for all to enjoy. Visit Riverview School.org.
