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.

Perugi Now Member of Galatea Fine Art

Several Newton artist members of both Newton Open Studios and Newton Art Association invited me to apply to become a member of Galatea Fine Art Gallery. It is located in the SoWa (South of Washington) district of Boston, located at Harrison Avenue, 3B-6. I have been to the gallery before to visit artist friends who were members there.

“SoWa is the most sought-after art community in Boston with over 30 galleries, design houses and restaurants all clustered within walking distance. Hundreds of people come out on First Friday to view the new exhibitions in the area, as well as the Open Markets from May – October. Galatea Fine Art has been, and continues to be, a source of comprehensive, stimulating and nourishing exhibitions, creating a pillar of activity in the area.”

Galatea itself is a co-operative gallery with fifty artist members. Each member exhibits in a member show in January and schedules their own show as well. It is not just a gallery but a community of artists who meet and support each other. I’m looking forward to meeting the other artists. And I’ll be opening the gallery on Sptember 28 for four hours. Come say hi!
