Crafting Home exhibition and opening

Dear blog readers and friends,

Last night was awesome. My first ever curated show, Crafting Home, opened at The Brooklyn Cottage, a creative incubator in a gorgeous, Prospect Heights brownstone. There were tons of guests, many of whom made new friends and stayed for longer than people tend to stay at openings. I think the marriage of beautiful work, an accessible space, enthusiastic artists, and a gracious host (thanks, Jenny Douglas) works wonders.

If you happen to be in the NYC area, stop by today, 3/1, 2-6pm or tomorrow, 3/2, 1-4pm and catch this short-lived, gem of a show.

The Brooklyn Cottage is located at 301 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, near the Grand Army Plaza 2/3 subway stop.
