    Gateway Artists "Up the Ladder" Reception at the Open Door Gallery

    Posted Sunday June 21 2015 at 8:20 pm

    A group exhibition of artists who have participated in the "Up The Ladder" program at Gateway Arts.  Through grants and private donations, over the past two years these artists have received individualized coaching and mentoring from visiting artists and other art professionals.  The goal has been to develop significant work for their portfolios; and create support materials such as bios, resumes and artist statements.  These artists have been successful at showing and selling their work and becoming part of the mainstream art world, through exhibitions in galleries, museums, on the Gateway website and social media.

  • Jeffrey Melzack's Teachable Moments Artist Reception at Open Door Gallery

    Posted Sunday March 15 2015 at 07:54 am

    Solitude by Jeffrey Melzack

    Join us at the Open Door Gallery for Jeffrey Melzack's "Teachable Moments" artist reception.

    "Melzack uses colored pencil, watercolor and oils in landscapes and symbolic objects that evoke magical and whimsical worlds reminiscent of the works of Joan Miro and Paul Klee.  For Melzack art serves as a means of self-discovery, and one of his interests is in freezing those moments of anticipation and decision, when it is clear that events are about to unfold. . ."
