This fall we are proud to showcase
Johanna Vargas' "Honey & Oranges"
On view October 21 - November 21

The senses are both awakened and soothed by the scent of beeswax and orange oil emanating from the works. Viewing Ms. Vargas' work is an intimate and sensual experience; the opening reception was enhanced with performances by Dragonfly, Sarah Murphy and vocals by Ivonne Santiago. Photographs of the performances will be posted in our events section soon.

The exhibition is open to the public on Wednesday evenings 6-8 pm and Sunday afternoons 2-4 pm. Private viewings are available at other times by appointment only October 22nd-November 21st. Please call 212-219-9276 for further information
