Last night, Thursday 20 February 2020, was the opening reception for the Long Island City Artist’s Annual Member Exhibition at Atlantic Gallery in Chelsea, NYC. It was a fun and exciting night - the gallery full of circulating eyes took in some truly fantastic art work created by 40 artists who live/work in Long Island City, Queens.

In fact… there were so many people and such great conversation, I forgot to take photos during the event. Oops :(
Just days before the opening, artists dropped off works to the gallery, and with careful direction from esteemed curator and organizer Carol Crawford, 15-20 of us spent the afternoon hanging the show together. It’s always nice to catch up and make new friends!
A few photos from the show hanging on Sunday afternoon - my pup Stanley came for moral support and to help supervise.
We are hosting a “Meet the Artists” on three Saturdays during the show - February 22, 29, and March 7. Many artists will be at the gallery and available to share insights about their works on display, or any curiosities related a day-in-the-life of artists in NYC. Hope to see you there!
