The Nevin Kelly Grand Opening

January 28, 2009

Nevin Himself (from the spy in the sky)

My "Nov. 5, 2008" - how did it get up there?

Late but still here (the story of my life), let me report on the grand grand opening on January 17 of Nevin Kelly Gallery’s new space in the uber-stylish Highland Park building in Columbia Heights at 1400 Irving St. NW., #132. The building has gorgeous public spaces with back-lit translucent walls, parts of which slowly change color. The first time you notice that, it’s kind of startling.

Bye Bye, Gene Pool

Nevin’s two–story space was filled with the work of gallery artists and lots of clients and friends, both old and new, came by to visit. (A bunch of my newest encaustic pieces from the gene pool series, went home with them, I’m happy to report.) NKG is the first outpost of contemporary art in this latest of DC’s mutating urban neighborhoods. I expect that more will follow apace. Avast, ye hearties.
