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!
