Business As Usual

Leigh Dyer's Show, 'Monkey Brand' opens on September 13th

Just to demonstrate that everything is business as usual, here in the invitation to our next show opening. Leigh will be flying over from the UK to be here for his show and will giving a talk about his work (Dates to be Confirmed)

Big Changes

Things are changing quickly of us here at Brumfield's Gallery. Next year I will be sharing my time between Boise and Houston, focussing on my art appraisal business and beginning an MA. Because of this we have made the bitter sweet decision to close the gallery at the end of the year. Knowing we were going to do this, we encouraged our lovely assistant, Rebecca, who usually writes our blog posts to apply for another job, if the right one came up. We are extremely happy that she has a new position with Boise Art Museum and very sad to lose her. I will be keeping this blog up-to-date from now on.

We are running at full speed until the organized and planned closure of the gallery near the end of the year, with our current 'Narrative Jewelry' show, our next exhibition 'Monkey Brand' sculptures by Leigh Dyer, and with new work coming into the gift gallery.  I guess from this point we are really operating like a pop-up gallery, in that we are exciting, wonderful, but with a limited window of time... so if you have not visited us yet you better get a move on.

If you are one of our artists, don't panic.  You'll be getting a letter or email confirming the plan, letting you know when to expect your work to be returned and final payments. You will still be able to contact me through the website and by my personal email, long after the doors close. I have loved showing all the work we have represented and hope to be able to work with you all again in the future.

If you are interested in buying our great building, it will be going on the market at the end of October, listed with Bonnie Burry of Windermere Real Estate.  I'll post the details, nearer the time.

New Work in From Erik Haagensen

We just got a new body of work in the gallery by the potter Erik Haagensen. Its always such a treat to unpack Eriks work and see what his imagination has cooked up.

Sneak Peek: Jacquline Hurlbert

We've just completed the set up of Jacquline Hurlbert's solo show.  The show will open this Saturday at the gallery from 7-9 p.m., but we thought we'd give our followers a little sneak peek.
