CITY WITHOUT WALLS — The Board of City Without Walls (cWOW) has appointed Ben Goldman as executive director. cWOW is one of New Jersey's premiere arts organizations, having just celebrated its 30th year of continuous operation as a urban gallery for emerging art, with generous support from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the Prudential, and others. The renovated, 2,000 square-foot Newark exhibition space is devoted to emerging artists and guest curators, and welcomes new members and proposals. Its award-winning ArtReach mentoring program pairs high-school art stars with prominent artists. Its massive slide registry is the largest in the State. Past curators and jurors have included art-world luminaries and shows are regularly reviewed in the New York Times, as well as in ArtForum, ArtNews, and Art in America.

UNITED VISUAL ARTS LLC — United Visual Arts LLC (uv|a), a New Jersey corporation founded in 2006 by Ben Goldman, is positioned to begin manufacturing and distributing a revolutionary new consumer art product this year. uv|a is based on the premise that the next art movement is not about a new style or content. It's about access. Americans want more art, but do not have time for more exhibits or money for original work. Struggling artists are busy making masterpieces, but cannot sell them. uv|a answers this market opportunity with defEYE™ productions: affordable, signed, museum-grade digital prints in high-design frames, soon-to-be in stores near you. With defEYE™ productions, everyone can be a collector. Our vision is an artist's signature on every wall.
