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 Cra...

During the twentieth century, a group of celebrated artists rediscovered the largely unexplored art form of lithography thanks to the Atelier Mourlot, a Parisian printshop founded in 1852 by the Mourlot family.

Fernand encouraged the painters to work directly on lithographic stones in order to create original artworks that could then be ex...
