If you are looking for something good to do this Saturday, I have it. Retrograde, an all-female group art show from LoftProjects NY, opens in Chappaqua on Saturday, November 14, from 1 to 5 pm.
The show is upstairs in the loft at Family Britches, 70 King Street, right in the middle of town. Yes, that Family Britches. The opening kicks off the holiday season with art, snacks and libations, which is my favorite kind of Saturday afternoon.
LoftProjects is the baby of Leslie Weissman, and her mission is getting people to support early-career artists and young galleries. Her argument is a good one. When you buy a piece from a working artist, you are paying for supplies, rent, and the ability for that artist to keep going. And you get to live with something beautiful. She is also big on gifting art, and I agree. A painting with a story beats another candle every time.
The lineup is stacked: Adi Oren, Alexandrea Rubinstein, Charlotte Hailstone Wu, Michelle Doll, Sara Alice Moran and more, with works across painting and silkscreen.
Retrograde opening reception: Saturday, November 14, 1 to 5 pm, in the loft at Family Britches, 70 King Street, Chappaqua.
