The First Art Newspaper on the Net

An essential part of the London art calendar, the Summer Exhibition is visited by over 100,000 people and attracts entries from around 9,000 artists, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints and architectural models.

This year’s exhibition co-ordinators – Royal Academicians Peter Cook, David Mach and Alison Wilding – have chosen a theme that artists are encouraged to explore: ‘From Life’. While not compulsory, it is hoped it will inspire new work from artists responding to the concept of life and living. After a careful selection process, over 1,000 art works will be exhibited, the majority of which will be for sale, offering an unrivalled opportunity for collectors and the public to purchase original artworks.

The Summer Exhibition recognises artists of exceptional merit, awarding a total of 70,000 prize money across several categories, donated by commercial and industrial sponsors as well as generous individuals.

PLAYSKOOL Sets Sail with Disney Cruise Line

Hasbro, Inc. (NYSE: HAS) and Disney Cruise Line announced today that new PLAYSKOOL products and Hasbro activities such as a PIRATE MR. POTATO HEAD game and the PLAYSKOOL AGES AND STAGES system will board the line's two ships, further integrating Hasbro products into the fleet's entertainment programs for infants, children and families. The initiative is part of a long-term arrangement between Hasbro and Walt Disney Parks & Resorts.

"This program is such a natural fit as both PLAYSKOOL and Disney are about sparking imagination and discovery," said Lorrie Browning, general manager of infant/preschool at Hasbro. "The introduction of PLAYSKOOL toys and related activities in the ship's play centers translates to fun for kids and trust for parents. We expect that kids will enjoy the fun and comfort of playing with PLAYSKOOL toys that they already have at home while also discovering new play experiences that will stay with them for years to come."

Children aboard the 2,700 passenger Disney Wonder and Disney Magic ships will engage with PLAYSKOOL products at various levels of discovery and play.
