There is just something about fall that makes me feel so happy. I love all the changing seasons and have very special memories and times within each of them, but for some reason fall just seems to be a time that always gives me a deep feeling of excitement and contentment rolled all into one. YES Gallery is so full of blooming plants still, and there are more that have arrived to grace the front steps. With the nights getting cooler I sometimes bring them inside earlier, but as long as possible I keep the door open to let the scent of the fall breeze fill the space.
Today is the Hoboken Artists' Studio Tour and I planned a celebration that would begin in the afternoon and go into the evening. The Studio Tour is always such a beautiful time to celebrate art and community, and as the days become more golden in their light and the air is filled with the sounds of whispering falling leaves, the celebration is also part of my own way to welcome the fall into the place itself.
The marvelous musician Visionary Module decided to curate a lineup of performers and bands for the YES Gallery celebration, and there was a familiar face who arrived at the gallery door a little over a week ago to say that he was going to be performing there. Rose Image had his first YES Gallery performance on the weekend of the Hoboken Artists' Studio Tour last year, and as I wrote about at the time he had also inspired me to find a vintage turntable for the gallery by lending me his portable turntable to play over the weekend when he wasn't performing. He had been such a wonderful addition to so many of the events I'd had monthly, and then his schedule changed and he hadn't been there in a while. It was so good to see him and to hear that he was going to be back again to share his wonderful creative spirit and inspiration!
I'll be posting more from this beautiful day, but for now here are a few of the images that have been created to celebrate the celebration of art and life that is filling the world of Hoboken and the world of YES Gallery.
