A union of pointe shoes and paint, each dancer donated a pair of well-worn pointe shoes to her artist partner. With no stylistic or technical restrictions, the artists employed genres of sculpture, painting, drawing and printmaking to create unique artworks. The stunning and fantastical results range from Karin Bruckner\u2019s sculptural bouquet, utilizing the footless shoes as a vase to Liane Ricci\u2019s colorful, sequined shoes in rainbow hues of purple and green.<\/p>\n<p>Each creation will be displayed alongside a portrait of the dancer who plied and pirouetted in the shoes and several paintings by the respective artists. Money raised from the sale of the shoes and paintings will be donated to the Ellison Ballet Scholarship Fund.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full virtual opening reception below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/IKyl9Mwc2ck\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2971\" src=\"https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-2.34.40-PM-401x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-2.34.40-PM-401x300.png 401w, https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-2.34.40-PM-227x170.png 227w, https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-2.34.40-PM-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-2.34.40-PM-1024x767.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.susaneleyfineart.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Screen-Shot-2021-05-11-at-2.34.40-PM.png 1870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Susan Eley Fine Art is pleased to host Paint on Pointe\u2014marrying classical ballet with contemporary art\u2014to raise money for New York City\u2019s Ellison Ballet.
