Holiday Gift Idea

2010-11-05T13:00:00.002-04:00

Looking over our holiday lists around here and I think it's worth mentioning...

Kai-lan Chau's paper prints are just $50 unframed and $75 framed. There are 21 to chose from and 100% of the proceeds from the "Raining Cats & Bears" print (seen here) will be donated to City Critters (CityCritters.org) and Families with Chinese Children (FWCC.org). A limited edition collectable print will last so much longer than the latest toy! So dig deep for the little ones (and the young at heart) on your list!

And for the grown ups, don't miss Julia Marchand's show. Lots of beautiful work at gift-giving prices.

Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop Re-Opens

Yes, it's true. Just moments ago the gates opened and Tiny's Giant Sandwich Shop is re-open thanks to Dave from Neighburrito who has taken over and will carry on with the same menu and much of the same staff. Thanks Dave!

Tiny's is located directly across the street from the gallery on the SW corner of Norfolk and Rivington. We highly recommend it!

On the subject of neighborhood happenings...Open Studios

2010-05-08T12:24:00.000-04:00

It's the 14th annual building wide open studios at Clemente Soto Velez Cultural & Education Center on Saturday May 15 th from 4-8 pm. That's the cool old building on the corner of Rivington & Suffolk with the scaffolding. The entrance is at 107 Suffolk St. They have three floors of artist studios. It's definitely worth checking out if you like that kind of thing (we do!). It's also coincidentally the last day of our current exhibition so why not make a day of it on the LES? You can get more info about the open studios at the Artist Alliance Inc web site - http://www.aai-nyc.org/index.html and you can get ideas of places to eat and drink in the neighborhood from our links on the right side of the page.

There's a doll party on my desk!

Shows we recommend 5/1/10

2010-05-01T14:11:00.000-04:00

The arrival of the ever fabulous Mark Ryden got the Sloan Fine Art staff out of the gallery and enjoying some shows.

Aside from our own fantastic Kristen Schiele and Clare Grill exhibitions, I highly recommend Mark Ryden at Paul Kasmin, Julie Heffernan at PPOW and Mamma Andersson and Jockum Nordstrom at David Zwirner.

Special thanks to Paul Kasmin and Harley & Daniel for their generous hospitality this week!

Here are a few pics from Ryden's opening (borrowed from Kirsten Anderson and Adam Wallacavage). There's a post on Jodavid Harris' blog with tons of great pictures at
