saturday scoop (...on a thursday)

I'm back! My apologies for the brief blogging hiatus. Things have been busy busy here at the gallery, last week we bid farwell to Jayme McLellan: Jealousy of Clouds, and this week we welcome Rachel Farbiarz: Take Me With You, which will open Friday, September 20th. Yesterday, Margaret and I also had the pleasure of driving down to Richmond to visit a few more studios, which I look forward to posting about soon. In the meantime, here is a delayed saturday scoop for your browsing pleasure. Thanks for stopping by!
