Gray Loft Gallery Uptown opening

  ~      

      

Last night the GLG's new satellite venture took off in dramatic fashion.     

The exterior is unassuming but WOW!    

 

 Wait 'til you get inside!

Peter Dreyfus built a gallery space that is every gallery owner's dream! A ceiling hundreds of feet high (well, it's pretty high) and skylights that show the work in beautiful natural light so the color dazzles the eyes.

 

Working with Jan Watten of the Gray Loft Gallery, the two have assembled a stunning array of the work, old and brand new, of 12 present and past Jingletown artists. It's almost a retrospective with incite to the future.
