Shannon Richardson, Ray Maseman, and Monsters

We thought we'd post some updates happening at the gallery as of late…

This week saw two arrivals of some toys to our Gift Gallery.  We got the little monsters from Mr. Sog's Creatures.  You can find them on our website here.

We also received some pieces from Snooter-Doots, which are on our website here.  These little guys, of which we have the animal friends and puppets, are all made from felted wool.

We also have an opening this week for Shannon Richardson.  Shannon will also be traveling from California to attend the event and chat about her work.  The event takes place here at the gallery from 7-9 p.m. on Saturday, March 8.  You can find all of her work and more information about her on our website.

Ray Maseman will be the featured printmaker for the show as well.  You can find his prints and more information on our website here.

Tomorrow we'll post a few peeks at Shannon's show in the gallery.  See you at the opening!

Upcoming and Current Shows

We've recently gotten the full body of work for Shannon Richardson's upcoming show in March.  Here's a few peeks at some of the paintings set to display…

'We, Within the Fold' by Shannon Richardson

'Top of the Hill' by Shannon Richardson

Also, don't forget about two our current shows!  We have Erin Ruiz and Beth Bojarski's work in the front gallery.

And Heidi Preuss Grew and Michael Barnes's show will only be up for one more week (ending March 1st) - be sure to catch this great exhibition while you still can!

Happy Friday!  Remember we're open Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm.

Boise Weekly Blog

Last Saturday's opening was a huge success!

With both artists in attendance, we were pleased to receive a large crowd for our first opening of 2014.

We even got a little write up on the Boise Weekly blog, which you can find here.

If you missed the opening, don't fret.  Michael Barnes and Heidi Preuss Grew's show will be up here at the gallery until March 1.

Michael Barnes and Heidi Preuss Grew

We're just putting the finishing touches on Saturday's opening for Heidi Preuss Grew and Michael Barnes.  Want a peek?...

Jane, the owner and curator, is thrilled with the work and the show.  We have both artists' complete inventories on our website.  You can find Grew's work here and Barnes' work here.

Both artists will be traveling to Boise today to attend the opening tomorrow.  The event takes place Saturday, January 11, from 7 - 9 p.m.

First Birthday and Christmas Party

You are officially invited to our celebration!

In honor of our first birthday in the new Hyde Park location and just in time for the holiday season, we're hosting a party (complete with a no-host bar from 13th Street Pub & Grill and plenty of Christmas goodies and sweets).

The party will run alongside the two exhibitions we have here at the gallery: Michael deMeng's solo exhibition and 'Small Whimsy,' the group show featuring six contemporary artists.  This will be one of the last times to see deMeng's work in the gallery (and Idaho, for that matter) - so get your last look in while you can.

The event is open to the public, so come one come all!

Small Whimsy Opening

Small Whimsy opens tonight!

Stop by the gallery between 7 - 9 p.m. to see new work by Jackie Hurlbert, Jola Spytkowska, Laura Lloyd, Leslie Hinton, Kina Crow, and Lisa Kaser.

Gallery Update

It's been a little while since we've posted.  We thought we'd clue you in on some updates we've made around the gallery lately...

We've just put the finishing touches on Michael deMeng's solo show in the front gallery.  The opening reception will be on Saturday, October 12th from 7 - 9 p.m.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Michael de Meng

We also received a shipment from SugarPost Metal.  We ordered a few more Gnome Be Gones, a flying pig, and this spider just in time for Halloween!

We also kicked off our new opening hours this week.  From now on, we will be open Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

See you around!

Kristian Adam's Exhibition Opening

Mark your calendars!

Don't forget to stop by Kristian Adam's exhibition opening for 'A Woodland Recital' tomorrow evening from 7 - 9 p.m. here at the gallery.

See you there!

Recycled Mysticism: Paintings by Ego

This past weekend we had the show opening for our latest exhibiting artist, Ego.  The show is titled "Recycled Mysticism," and, if you missed the opening, we thought you might like to see some installation shots.

'No Glory' - Soon to be featured in a local tattoo shop!

'The Illusionist'

If you'd like to see individual images of each piece (and snag a painting for yourself!), you can find all of Ego's work at the gallery on our website.  Don't forget, if you're interested in a particular piece, each inventory item has an option to inquire directly to the gallery.

Ego's exhibition will run until Sunday, August 25th, so drop by to see it in person!  As always, we are open 10 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday, and 12 pm - 4 pm, Saturday and Sunday.  See you soon!

Christine Brennan Opening

Tomorrow will be the opening for our next featured artist, Christine Brennan.

Brennan is an artist working out of Ojai, California and will come to Boise to attend the show.  Brennan approached the gallery because she was a fan of some of the artists the gallery represented, and sure enough she was a good fit for the gallery owners’ taste for quirky and eccentric work. Christine Brennan’s work is dreamlike and enigmatic.  Never setting out to illustrate a specific theme or story, the paintings are united by a feeling of enchantment and whimsy.
 

 'Untitled (PA885)'

Working primarily in oil on paper or board, Christine Brennan’s artworks exude an ethereal sensation, portraying characters and scenes that are both surreal and sincere. The work stands as the artist’s independent visual statement and yet is meant to incite a relationship with each viewer that is unique to them. 

'Untitled (PA823)'

Christine Brennan studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and earned a BFA in Illustration.  Working out of her studio in Ojai, Brennan exhibits across the country and has work in many collections, including the Carnegie Art Museum, and the City of Ventura Municipal Art Collection.

Christine Brennan’s opening event is on Saturday, June 8^th, 6pm – 9pm. Brumfield’s Gallery openings are open to the public and feature a no-host bar provided by 13^th Street Bar & Grill. The exhibition runs through Sunday, July 13th.  Brumfield’s Gallery is open seven days a week, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday, 12 p.m. – 4 p.m. 

We'll see you there!
