440 Gallery: Everyone in the Pool

Opening on August 1 (that’s this Thursday), Everyone in the Pool is a group show of artwork from members of the 440 Gallery artist collective, which was named “Best Gallery” by The L Magazine.

“Ours is an artistic gene pool where ideas meet, hybridize, evolve, and powerful synergies constantly occur. As a collective we are in this together, sink or swim. This exhibit expresses this theme through conversations among the artwork while celebrating the summer season through paintings, photography, sculpture and video,” reads the blurb on the press release.

It’s not everyday that you have the opportunity to see the work of all fourteen of 440’s members:  Vicki Behm, Fred Bendheim, Tom Bovo, Ellen Chuse, Shanee Epstein, GailFlanery, Jay Friedenberg, Laurie Lee-Georgescu, Karen Gibbons, Susan Greenstein, Katharine Colona Hopkins, Nancy Lunsford, Amy Williams, EllaYang.
