“Today’s galleries must be welcoming and accessible community institutions. This may be accomplished by providing art as an entry point to learn about ourselves and others.” -Mike Noyes, Director, Canal Street Art Gallery, Bellows Falls, Vermont. Guests at Atlantic Gallery may make their own contributions to the Open by Canal Street Art Gallery show by writing on ‘Tell Your Truth’ Stickers, and by making art at the ‘Community Art Table’. Artwork and written contributions may be added to a wall of the show by the Atlantic Gallery Manager.

The ‘Community Art Table’ is an extension of the free-to-use Charles W. Norris-Brown ‘Community Art Studio’, which is located within Canal Street Art Gallery in Bellows Falls, Vermont. Following a successful fundraiser to build the program, the ‘Community Art Studio’ is now open for all ages to visit the gallery and make art. On the occasion of the opening reception for the Open show at Atlantic Gallery, a Patreon crowdfunding campaign will be launched to support the ongoing costs of keeping the Bellows Falls studio open and free to use.

Atlantic Gallery is located at 548 West 28th St, Suite 540, New York, NY and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00pm to 6:00pm.
