Affordable Art Gallery.

We passed this sign a little while back.  It says Recession Art will be coming in February.  This organization soon to become a gallery and store, which is going to carry works from emerging artists and keep the prices low in order to keep art accessible for all incomes, was an original partner with The Invisible Dog gallery.  It's a wonderful idea not just for art lovers with smaller pocketbooks but also for emerging artists trying to break into the art world.  Although the sign says February, Recession Art's website says they won't open at 47 Bergen until March 9th.  We can't wait!

Bennington Writers at The Invisible Dog

We passed this flyer the other day about an event happening at The Invisible Dog (51 Bergen Street near Smith) on January 17th from 7:30-9:30 pm. They call it a "Literary Feast" and it features essayist Phillip Lopate as well Fiction, Non-Fiction and Poetry by MFA Grads Willa Carroll, Ken Harvey, Jennifer Acker, V. Hansmann, Lisa Alexander, Anne Decker, Julia Lichtblau, Alex Dawson, and Liz Arnold. There will be wine and book sales. If your New Years Eve resolution is to get involved more in the literary world than this is your event. Events at this venue are always great and usually pull in a crowd. We didn't notice any RSVP notice on the flyer but it wouldn't hurt to contact them to see about that. Check out their website if you're interested.
