In the wake of several successful and compelling exhibitions on the South Fork, Arts 4 Bonac Tonic (A4BT), in conjunction with Clovis Point Winery of Jamesport, is proud to present Clovis Point Toasts the Artists: Arts 4 Bonac Tonic Part II. Curated by members of A4BT, this sequel, dynamic show will highlight a new, fresh batch of emerging East End artists, featuring individuals who’s works comprehensively include a vast range of styles, mediums and disciplines, and demonstrate their diverse backgrounds.

Under the umbrella of A4BT, new artists exhibiting include Anna Atanasova, Joseph Bartolotto, Mia Berg, Zoe Pennebaker-Breen, Katharine Neva Dobbins, Darlene Duchatelier, Yong Jo Ji, Peter Levine, Cynthia Loewen, Cristen Motty, Clayton Orehek, and Heather Tankersley. Through various Art forms, these gifted artists bring an exciting melange of tradition and experience to this subsequent exhibit.

A4BT members displaying works include Matthew Brophy, Amy Distler, Jacqueline M. Dowling, Ashley Gardiner, Scott Gibbons, Jason Green, Grant Haffner, Elliot Hawkins, Ashley Hildreth, Hunter Herrick, Elizabeth Karsch, Danielle Lobosco, Gary Lovelace, Sara Marchese, Bethany Peters, Justin Smith and Molly M. Weiss.

Hosting the show is Clovis Point, a newly established winery situated on eight acres of beautiful North Fork farmland. Clovis has won 5 medals in the prestigious 2007 Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, which was open to commercial wineries from the United States, Canada, and all wine-producing countries. Along with the artists involved, the winery has been very excited about supporting local art and showcasing emerging talent. General Manager Carmela Paciullo has plans for wine tasting for the entire afternoon as well as a "meet and greeting of the artists" during the opening reception.

The exhibition will run from April 11th through May 15th, with opening reception on Sunday, April 13th from 2 - 5pm. Food and wine will be served, and there will be plenty of space for both wine and art enthusiasts alike. The winery is located at 1935 Main Road, Jamesport. They can also be found on the web at www.clovispointwines.com.

A4BT has been working together towards creating new movement; to establish a family of young artists, and to support contemporary artists working out here on the East End. The Arts 4, based out of Sag Harbor, have been working together for the past year, while Bonac Tonic has been a staple of the art scene in The Springs and East Hampton for the past three years. In 2008, we joined forces to form A4BT.
