Fun feature in Berkshires Now!

Our pals, Steve Gabe and Anne Paule Picker run this excellent website, Berkshires Now, which mostly features their totally fun take on Berkshires restaurant reviews.  But occasionally, they stray from their main mission and give their readers a heads up about other cultural goings-on.  They talk about studio21south  in this article about the Berkshire art and gallery scene.  Somewhere on their website, we hear there's also a video of Thor and Jaye, co-directors of studio21south, chatting about restaurant recommendations.  But you'll have to find that yourself! 

That's Steve and Anne on the right, at the opening reception for ''The Model is Posing'', along with some friends.

North Adams Open Studios this weekend!

North Adams Open Studios includes art galleries as well as studios, and as a working studio / fine art gallery, studio21south is a bit of both!  Come visit us, Saturday, October 16th and Sunday, October 17th, 10am-6pm.

In our main gallery, our contemporary figure show, "The Model is Posing" is on view, and there's landscapes, interiors, and more on view in the hall gallery.

 

  

Happy Anniversary to us!

aww...remember when? that's Karen Kane, hanging her work for our first show!

How time flies.  We've been the Berkshires' northernmost art gallery for a whole year now!  It's been a blast putting together these exhibits, and sharing the work of our amazing contemporary realist and abstract artists with all of you. And, what better way to celebrate than with another opening!  Come by today for the opening of our fifth show, "The Model is Posing", 3-7pm!

Good times!

"The Model is Posing" opens October 9!

Thor Wickstrom

The next show in the gallery looks at the long-lived and very-much-alive tradition of working from the model in the studio.  We'll be posting artists' work throughout the month!

Last two days for "Re/Imaging New York"!

"Cement Park, the Bronx" Valeri Larko

one painting's journey from a Brooklyn street to a North Adams gallery

One thing the painters in "Re/Imaging New York" (and, come to think of it, all of our other shows...) have in common is a tendency to paint on site. Along the way, they occasionally meet interesting people, mostly forklift drivers. Last week, however, Jaye Fox was working on a late addition to the gallery, and a Williamsburg art blogger snapped a shot of the infant piece, here, re-posted entirely without permission from it's original source at http://hragv.tumblr.com/post/977539226 : The final piece, "Landmark",  is the iconic Russian Orthodox church that presides over this little corner of Brooklyn.

It's conceived as a wry companion piece to "What Smell?", of the digester eggs at the Greenpoint sewage treatment plant, featured in an earlier post. Here's an installation shot of the two together:

Re/Imaging New York, open through September 6, 2010

We're pleased that the show has been so well-received!  Come visit us 12-5 on Saturdays, 10-1 on Sundays, or anytime by appointment or chance.
