New Galatea Website

by Deb Perugi | Jul 23, 2026 | Galatea Fine Art, News

After ten years, Galatea FIne Arts desperately needed a new website. As a relatively new member of the gallery I offered to help and began this Spring working with board president Carolyn Letvin on a new design.

All 5o or so members of the gallery were to be represented on their own page as well as in a member gallery page. The home page should highlight each month’s shows which usually number in three.

WordPress and the new Divi V offered the best structure to file show posts into past shows effortlessly, one of the main weaknesses of the old site on Weebly. With only one month in, the next month of August presents a New England Collective show. Check it out at galateafineart.com

Galatea Fine Arts will be hosting my show called “Elements of Land and Sky” starting in June. The First Friday event will be on June 5, located in Gallery III.

Most of the paintings are in Cold Wax, but there will be one or two in Oil or Acylic. Here are a few samples, but keep in mind, paintings are so much more exciting when seen for real.

Two Member Gallery Exhibits this January

Exciting to be in two different member shows this past January. The one on the left “Fire and Ice” was up at Galatea Gallery in SoWa Boston. The Painting “Snowscape” was at Copley Society, or Co/So on Newbury Street. They are from the same series of cold wax paintings on 1.5″ cradle board, 12″ x 24″. Both are for sale and either can be purchased by reaching out to deb@perugi.com.

Exciting News! I submitted an application and was accepted as a ‘Professional Artist’ at the Copley Society of Art. Located at 158 Newbury Street, Co|So is the oldest non-profit art association in the United States, with a history dating back to 1879. Read about Co/So’s interesting and eventful history here.

The Copley Society of Art offers opportunities to submit paintings monthly. I exhibited several paintings in one show and sold one painting. Another new painting is up for the opening of a All Members show (0ver 300 artists) on January 10. And I just submitted two for a third show in February.

See Deb’s page on the Co/So website here.

There are several levels of membership, so that artists of all levels and experience can show their work at Co/So.

Galatea and Friends Show

A really fun show was held this July called “Galatea and Friends.” The idea was to invite a friend who is not a member of the gallery to show a painting to pair with yours.

I noticed via Instagram that an old friend from The Boston Globe days who was an illustrator for many years was now creating fine art painting. (There is a distinction, but less so these past few years.) I asked James Steinberg to submit a painting along with mine and together we found one that would look good along with my style.

Years ago, when I was freelancing as an information graphics designer, James and I produced a beautiful graphic together on genetic sequencing for a scientific company. I researched and drew the outlines and James airbrushed it. The client was so happy they purchased the drawing to display in their corporate office.

He came to the opening July 11 and brought his wife Paola. We had a great time and even went across the way to another studio to visit a friend of his and see his work. He also was an illustrator moving on to painting.

These shows are a great way to introduce Galatea Gallery to other artists with the intention of increasing membership. If you are interested in joining an art gallery, let me know!
