Art & Antiques (and Animals!) on the Avenue...

I know, I know...it's Second Saturdays now. But, for this special event, The Artists in the Attic couldn't resist just one more First Friday, May 7 from 6-8 p.m. And what is this special event? Does it have something to do with that picture of the dog? You betchya! Volunteers from the fantastic animal rescue group Forgotten Friends of Long Island (visit their website at http://www.forgottenfriendsoflongisland.org/) will be on hand with info AND raffle baskets(!) for this charitable fundraising event. And, 10% of all artists' sales that night will also go to the cause. So come on down, bring your friends, and help some great folks help some great animals.
Otis personally invites you.

Nope, it's not April Fool's...

Come on out to some springtime splendor on SATURDAY, April 10 from 5-7 p.m. What? But that's not a First Friday? Exactly...The Artists in the Attic is trying something new, won't you join us for Second Saturdays? Yankee Peddler Antiques will be open for business downstairs and the Artists will have a lovely wine and cheese reception upstairs with special musical guests. So, move on down a week and a day for Second Saturdays.
Art & Antiques on the Avenue...perfect!

Cynthia Grimm's "A Mother's Life" exhibit

As with her 2008 grant project, Grimm chose a group of women to document their journey through nine months of motherhood in photographs. The group met monthly for instruction, assignments, and artistic growth. The exhibit features 20 photos representing their work and their lives as women, leaders, mothers, creators.

The exhibit will run throughout the month of December, 2009
