After more than 8 years at its current location in Patterson, NY, Front Street Gallery will be closing its doors at the end of 2018.  The gallery will re-open in a new incarnation as part of the Pawling Bread Company building.

In April 2010, Front Street Gallery opened with a show featuring its four founders, painters Gene Cadore, Linda Puiatti, Mary Smoot Souter, and photographer Jeremy Wolff.   To honor the occasion, bringing the history of the gallery full-circle, the original artists will return for a new exhibition, opening in the evening on Saturday, July 7.  Artist Jeanette Rodriguez, long-time curator at Front Street, will also be a part of the show.

Over the years, the gallery has featured artists from New York and around the country in group and juried shows.  But Front Street has mainly been a center for the surprisingly large and committed community of local artists, encouraging many young artists to exhibit for the first time, and inspiring others to return to their work. The gallery has also hosted many musical events, art classes, and readings.

Join us Saturday, July 7, 6-9pm, for the opening of the Founders Exhibition. The show runs through August 24.   Exhibitions are planned to continue through the end of the year, with an ArtEast show in September, the annual juried show in October, and the FrOGS show in December.

Heart: a group show of 33 painters, sculptors and photographers.
through April 13, 2018

Worldwide blue is our favorite color. It evokes serenity, spirituality, infinity.  Lay on your back and look up at heaven. The 5th chakra: the throat, voice and self-expression.  Deep blues: singing, listening. Sea and shadow. Blue symbolizes the Virgin Mary.  Krishna has blue skin. Fifty-three percent of the world's flags have blue: the color most commonly used in corporate identity.  Miles Davis was kind of blue.  What kind of blue are you? 

Summer Invitational:

Reflection is an essential process of light and surfaces.  It is also the process of self-recognition.  Narcissus looked into a pool and fell in love with his own image.  We also have mirrors and phones and various new pools of light to stare into, and we're not any better at recognizing ourselves.  We think it's all out there, but it's we who are projecting:  all the terrible things, and all the beauty.  Like ripples in water, all technology has its own bent. Reflected images are altered by the surface, refracted and reversed, familiar and opposite at the same time. By mirror-images we know ourselves.
