The Atlantic Gallery, located in the Landmark Arts Building, 548 West 28th St, Suite 540, New York, NY, hosts the opening reception for the Open by Canal Street Art Gallery show, on April 18th from 6-8pm. The exhibit, on view from April 16th through May 4th, premieres as part of the Bellows Falls, Vermont gallery’s ‘Inclusive and Accessible Art Action Plan’ offering visitors an ‘Affordable Art Wall’, a ‘Community Art Table’ and ‘Tell Your Truth’ stickers while featuring new works by Clare Adams, Penelope Arms, Len Emery, Mindy Fisher, Corinne Greenhalgh, Medora Hebert, Carol Keiser, Nicholas Kekic, Jean Krasno, Kathy Lavine, Jeanne McMahan, MC Noyes, Phyllis Rosser, Chris Sherwin, Jeanette Staley and Kathleen Zimmerman. “Today’s galleries must be welcoming and accessible community institutions. This may be accomplished by providing art as an entry point to learn about ourselves and others.” -Mike Noyes, Director, Canal Street Art Gallery, Bellows Falls, Vermont.
The Judy Hawkins An Artist’s Exploration solo show, is on view at Canal Street Art Gallery from April 19th through June 15th, exhibiting new oil paintings by the Westminster West, Vermont, artist. Hawkins begins work on a canvas from the top down, moving quickly and allowing paint drips, and accidental color combinations to guide the painting. The artist uses thin glazes to build up layers of often brilliant and high contrast color. Spirit Trees, the title work for the show, is a bright and misty vision of tree branches, sky, atmosphere, and dense undergrowth. “Over the last few years, I have thought about how important it is for me to continually learn something new whenever I put brush and color on canvas. When I paint, I have an internal ‘dialog’ with myself. Each new experience brings a new perspective and vocabulary to my work, not unlike life.” -Judy Hawkins
Judi Forman returns to the Working Artist Program at Canal Street Art Gallery in Bellows Falls, open on 3rd Friday Gallery Night April 19th. This program is an artist’s studio and exhibition space within the gallery, and is open during the gallery’s regular hours. “My jewelry work is all about color and texture; I’m always on the lookout for new ways to add surface design to the metal with combinations of patinas, dyes, colored pencils, and anodizing. This creates an abundance of possibilities.” -Judi Forman
The Community Art Studio, following a successful fundraiser to keep the program, is now permanently open. All ages are welcome to use the free-to-use space located within Canal Street Art Gallery including artist grade supplies on a walk-in basis during gallery hours to make art while overlooking the Bellows Falls, Vermont Canal. Join the gallery for 3rd Friday Gallery Night in Historic Bellows Falls, Vermont to enjoy the opening of the studio along with a Patreon crowdfunding campaign to be launched in support of the ongoing costs to keep the studio open.
