The Kapell Gallery is pleased to present "No Place Like Home", a show of paintings by brilliant Bronx, NY artist Daniel Hauben. In one room his sensitive and colorful renderings of the people and streets of New York will be featured. These paintings vividly capture a special moment in the time and space of an ever evolving city. In the second room his beautifully rendered pastel landscapes will be showcased. Paintings range in size from 9" x 12" to 6 ft x 10 ft! Signed and numbered prints will also be for sale. In the days prior to the show, Danny will paint the streets and people of Greenport en plein air, adding an air of suspense to what might appear in the gallery. Look for him near the corner of Front & Main! Also, see this 2012 NYT story about a commission Danny executed for the Bronx Community College North Hall and Library that caught the gallery's attention and led to this show: NY Times Article: Daniel Hauben. As always, complimentary fine wine and food along with great conversation will be offered at the reception. All are welcome, kids too. Danny and his wife Judy Lane will be in attendance. Exhibition dates are August 16 - September 30. 

Shakespeare Under the Stars

"The Tempest"

At Mulford Farm in East Hampton

HITfest brings Shakespeare's most spectacular play to the Hamptons for three glorious weeks from August 6 -24, Wednesdays - Sundays at 7 PM. The Children's Museum of the East End, CMEE, helps HITFest to train kids (of all ages) to create the storm which opens the show. The venue, Mulford Farm, the centerpiece of the East Hampton Historical Society, dates from 1680, only seventy years younger than the play itself! Yet Shakespeare has never graced its grounds. Until now. For more info and tickets, visit http://hitfest.org/the-tempest/.
