Hello, Goodbye

 

The beginning of June is bringing about lots of changes here at the John Cleary Gallery.  Henry Horenstein's Show photos have come down to make way for Mitch Dobrowner's Storm Series.  (It's not too late to make the opening reception with the artist tonight from 6-8 p.m.!)

You don't have to go but you can't stay here! (No seriously, we don't have the storage)

 

The other big change happening is that, unfortunately, my tenure here as assistant director will come to a close at the end of tonight's opening.  I can say without hesitation that it has been a pleasure to come into this gallery every day and be surrounded but such fascinating pieces of art. 

Weep not for me, though, because upon leaving here I will be headed on a two month tour singing the baritone solo in Brahm's Requiem across Europe.  My blogging duties aren't exactly ending because I may make a random post here or there whenever inspiration hits.  (Until then you can always follow my own blog here!)

So thanks for following and please say hello/goodbye if you make it to the opening tonight.

Stormy Weather
