Important NEWS from Ironwood Gallery

By Anonymous -

Join us for our Final First Friday
Friday, December 4th, 5:30-8:00pm
(We're not renewing our lease.)


To Our Good Friends and Valued Clients:

This Friday, December 4th, will mark our last First Friday...we will be closing the gallery on Christmas Eve for the final time. While we're certainly saddened to close this chapter in our lives, we recognize that, at this point in time, owning a bricks and mortar retail gallery is a difficult proposition at best. When the opportunity came to not renew our lease, we took it.


There is, happily, good news to all of this.

First, Ironwood Gallery will continue to exist in cyberspace. We will be opening an online store in the next few months which will feature work from some of our existing artists, and some exciting new artists. And, as for the future of the gallery, who knows? We might consider opening another storefront, just in a different (and warmer) location.

Finally, for us, the best news of all is our relationship with Brookfield Craft Center. Over the past 10 months, we've been working hard to stabilize and re-establish the Craft Center as the amazing resource it has been for more than 50 years. We've got a lot more work to do, but things are moving in the right direction and it has been, so far, immensely rewarding for both of us.

So...the last First Friday...try to make it if you can.
It may be bittersweet, but at least there'll be some fine refreshments,
and a really good group of interesting, creative people.

Richard & Betsy

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
