Media outreach and communications for Jonathan LeVine Gallery exhibitions were directed by Debra Anderson from January 2006 – September 2007. The challenging task of publicizing an emerging underground gallery in the New York fine arts world was accomplished with breakout reviews in The New York Times Weekend Arts section, in addition to full-feature articles. Press releases, target mailings and multiple artist promotions and group shows, as well as art fairs Scope Miami and Bridge Art Fair, helped highlight the Gallery's distinctly innovative exhibition calendar. Working to communicate creative and relevant public relations messages to both traditional and non-traditional media, garnered prominent placements in diverse outlets including ATTITUDE, Beautiful/Decay, Creativity Magazine, Juxtapoz, Hi Fructose, NY Arts Magazine, NYLON, SWINDLE, and Paper Magazine, NYLON, and Ovation TV. Consistent online features included Artforum, ArtInfo, Gothamist, GenArt PULSE and Fecal Face. Partnering with gallery owner Jonathan LeVine and staff, Debra was able to implement private preview events for collectors and members of the media. This collaboration was successful in building long-term art buyer and media contacts. Close working relationships with represented artists include Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Ray Caesar, David Choe, Lori Earley, Doze Green, Shepard Fairey, Camille Rose Garcia, Jim Houser, Jeff Soto, Adam Wallacavage, and Jonathan Weiner.
