NKG presents...

We are holding two more events to showcase "Dark Matter," Ellyn Weiss's new work in tar!

Please join us this Saturday, October 3 for a talk with the artist between 2-3pm. Weiss will discuss her process of creation, as well as the motivation behind her paintings.

You are also invited to a closing reception on Saturday, October 17, where we will be holding a final celebration between 3-6pm.

Take a look at our newsletter for this and more.

And the finalists are...

The Nevin Kelly Gallery has become one of the finalists in the Best of Express 2009 reader-favorite awards!

Gallery Hours

Just a short note to let you know about the new gallery schedule. Lately we have cut back on our hours, but that doesn't mean you should avoid stopping by. We are open on Tuesdays and Thursdays through Saturdays, from noon to 6pm, and by appointment.

Remember, our current show featuring works by Ellyn Weiss, "Dark Matter", is up until October 17. We hope to see you soon!

"Dark Matter" shines brightly

The show's opening was a success! I wish I could say the same about the pictures that were taken that night. Let's just say that this will be the last time I mess around with the camera's shutter speed days before an event. Here are some of the better pictures:

In case you were not able to attend the opening, here are a few more pictures of the art. Make sure you stop by before October 17. These works need to be seen in person to fully appreciate the richness of tones and textures that can be found within them.
