Blue Door October News
Greetings!

Autumn brings changes to all our activities, and some big ones are occurring at the gallery. We are losing Martin Gewirtz to an uptown Manhattan Gallery, and wish him great success in his new position. Coming on board as our new Gallery Manager is Mary Ellen McCourt in Mid October, and we know she will enjoy meeting all of you.

MOCA-YO (Museum of Contemporary Art - Yonkers), another project of the Blue Door,  had its inaugural exhibition on September 19th at the gallery. Exciting news to come.

Changes also include adding Sunday to our Gallery hours. We hope this will encourage you to bring visitors to see our stimulating exhibitions.  

New Gallery hours: Friday - 1 to 6pm,
Saturday and Sunday - 12 to 5pm.
