November Update from
The Center
Greetings!
November is a time of transition as we begin to look back at the past year and plan for the next one. What should we do differently? What could we do better?
I hope that we have played a part in your creative development this year, whether in our studios, on the gallery walls or on the streets of Chelsea.

Poem-prints will be on exhibit from Thursday, October 30 through Saturday, November 1 and will be available for sale along with numbered copies of the book at a reception on Sunday, November 2nd from 2 until 4 p.m. Light fare and wine will precede an informal discussion among the three artists about their collaboration.
