This summer, in collaboration with The Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation, Art in Bloom Gallery is pleased to present a new pop up with the work of painter, sculptor and installation artist, Dorothy M. Gillespie (1920-2012). The gallery is working with Gary Gillespie Israel (President & CEO of the Foundation) to present a selection of art directly from the late artist’s studio located in Narrowsburg, NY. These new arrivals to the gallery will include a selection of metal works, pastels, and prints that display Gillespie’s signature use of vivid color.
Join us in the gallery on Sunday, August 2nd, 2-5pm for our Artist Reception. Enjoy special refreshments, meet our artists, and enjoy live music by jazz guitarist Roger Davis! This exhibit will be featured alongside a new selection of featured works by our 30+ Gallery Artists.
