This past week I was getting ready for the opening of the new show at YES Gallery, and so this post will be a bit on the short side. A few months ago when it was still very warm weather, I found out that the Hoboken Art and Studio Tour would be on November 5 and 6, and so I decided that I'd plan the opening of the next show for that weekend. It turned out to be a wonderful way to schedule the new opening, because the weekend of the Art and Studio Tour is a very enjoyable and fun celebratory time. It also was beautiful weather, something that is hard to predict especially this time of year, but with sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70's we were truly blessed with a lovely weekend.
I'll write more soon about this new show, but for now I'll just say that it's even more beautiful than the last one. The number of Artists who have continued to say Yes to sharing their work at the gallery has grown, and the work that is coming through the doors is breathtaking. The Artist Stephen Cimini not only helped me hang and curate the artwork in the space again, but he agreed to show two of his new pieces. They are beautiful all on their own and in the show on the gallery walls they glow. The list of Artists is impressive, and I will share that here along with the name of the show and the poem that the name came from. We have a new sign for the gallery with so much gratitude to Linus Coraggio who created something for the windows that was the most beautiful sign, and when I went to pick it up I really was blessed so deeply to see it.
All during this past week while Stephen and I were busy moving things around and while Artists came in to drop off their work, people kept stopping in to say how much they loved what they were seeing. On Friday night as I was preparing and finishing up some last details, different visitors stopped by who kept telling me how beautiful everything is. My answer to everyone is that the Artists I know are extraordinary people. Their work is beautiful and together in that room there is such a joyous feeling of creativity abounding. There is something very special happening at YES Gallery, and it's a beautiful blessing to be a part of it.
