Founders Exhibition
Front Street's original founders return
Opening Saturday, July 7, 6-9pm
Celebrating the end of 8 years in Patterson and a move to Pawling
After more than 8 years at its current location in Patterson, NY, Front Street Gallery will be closing its doors at the end of 2018. The gallery will re-open in a new incarnation as part of the Pawling Bread Company building now under construction at 10 East Main Street in the village of Pawling.
In April 2010, Front Street Gallery opened with a show featuring its four founders, painters Gene Cadore, Linda Puiatti, Mary Smoot Souter, and photographer Jeremy Wolff. To honor the occasion, bringing the history of the gallery full-circle, the original artists will return for a new exhibition, opening in the evening on Saturday, July 7. Artist Jeanette Rodriguez, long-time curator at Front Street, will also be a part of the show.
Over the years, the gallery has featured artists from New York and around the country in group and juried shows. But Front Street has mainly been a center for the surprisingly large and committed community of local artists, encouraging many young artists to exhibit for the first time, and inspiring others to return to their work. The gallery has also hosted many musical events, art classes, and readings.
