Gallery 100 Day at the Races

Sunday was a perfect day - translated - no rain. We all headed out to enjoy a day at the Saratoga Race Track. We enjoyed the races in our box situated right over the winner's circle and finish line. It was a fabulous day. Zoe managed to be our big winner but we all had a fabulous time. A thank you to our friends who help out at Gallery 100

ART HORSE

Rain, It's Raining, It's Raining Again

In Saratoga Springs, it is raining every afternoon --- complete with heavy rains, strong winds, hale, thunder and lightning-- last Friday it was washout and NRA actually closed the track after the third race. Which was good for us -- track goers filled the sidewalks of town looking for something to do. We obliged them with our beautiful equine exhibit - ART HORSE

ART HORSE Artists' Reception

True art fans braved the weather last night to attend our artists reception at the gallery. It turned into a very profitable evening for all of us. Our clientel were captivated by the amazing paintings of Patricia Powers and loved Brian Hibbard's richly textured paintings.

Another Benefit in Saratoga Springs

It's that time of year in Saratoga Springs -- our calendars are chock full of events. Tuesday evening it was Anne Palamountain's Skidmore by Twilight -- an annual scholorship fundraiser attended by everyone who is anyone. No polo - the polo fields were too wet from all the rain. Last night we went to the annual Saratoga Hospital And We're Off! fundraiser. It was held on the grounds of The Lodge and thank heavens they had an airconditioned tent -- it was a steamy night. It is always a fun event with lots of interesting silent auction items and great auction packages -- I lusted after Gretchen Hunt's Designer Jewelry and Private Cocktail Party for 10 at Historic Jumel Mansion. It went for $$$$$$$.

ART HORSES Arrive

Nancy and I are working like mad to open ART HORSE on time this Thursday. The work is big and beautiful and we are so excited about exhibiting Brian Hibbard and Patricia Powers - two talented equine artists. It is a wonderful show and hopefully our equine clients will also relate to it. Our opening reception is this Saturday!!!!

John Van Alstine strikes Olympic Gold

John Val Alstine, sculptor extraordinaire, was chosen to be one of 50 artists - 25 from China and 25 from elsewhere - to display their site specific artwork around Olympic venues in Beijing. JVA's piece, Rings of Unity - Circles of Inclusion, is a 16 foot bronze ring with a large stone suspended in the center.
