Getting in the spirit...

Remember that beautiful photograph you saw at StoneCrop this summer that you just haven't been able to get off your mind? Looking to buy an original gift for that special someone (yes, this includes yourself!) for the upcoming holiday season? If this applies to you (or just piqued your interest), then you ought to click on over to our archive of exhibitions at StoneCrop Gallery to be reminded of the great work you've seen at our space.  Artwork is still available and for sale!

Last few hours of the season...

Hi all,

 

The StoneCrop Gallery will be officially open for another hour and sixteen minutes.  This is your last chance (really down to the wire now) to see the Intern Show and the gallery before we close for the 2011 season.  Thank you for all the amazing feedback we have received for the show!  I will be sad to go, but working at StoneCrop has been an incomparable experience.  And after a glorious summer in Maine, it's off to Austin, Texas for me.  We will be open until 5:50 today, so stop by and see the gallery one last time before the withdrawal symptoms set in and you have to wait until next June (and we wouldn't want that).

 

Thank you all for a sublime 2011 season.  StoneCrop loves you!

 

-Allie

 

P.S. Oh right, Dana asked me to compliment myself on being a fabulous intern (did you say fabulous?).  The pleasure was all mine!

LAST SHOW OF THE 2011 SEASON

 

THE INTERN SHOW

PHOTOGRAPHS BY

ALLISON SMITH and LAISA BELLOMO-JOHNSON

SEPT. 10-25, 2011

OPENING RECEPTION SEPT. 17, 2011 4-6 PM

 

Happy Friday:

    Our 2011 season is coming to an end, and our FINAL SHOW features the photographs of this summer's interns.  The opening reception is TOMORROW, Saturday, from 4-6.  So bundle up (the air's getting chilly up here), head on over to StoneCrop and warm yourself with some hot cider or mulled wine.  If you can't make it, the show will be up through September 25th.  Join us in celebrating photography and  another season of fantastic shows.

 

 

We are located at 805 Shore Road in York, Maine, steps from the Ogunquit Museum of American Art.

For more information about the gallery, visit our website.

 

 

 

Intern Show is UP

We're sad to see Harold Feinstein's images go, but September's show is UP, with work by Laisa, lovely intern #1, and yours truly.  It is always a pleasure to see your own work on a wall, especially in a gallery I love and support.  And don't forget, the party—I mean opening reception—is THIS SATURDAY (17th) from 4-6.  We hope you can make it.  In the meantime, check out a couple photos.

Last chance to see Harold Feinstein show

Harold Feinstein's show is coming to a close; tomorrow (Friday) will be your last chance to see or purchase his work at the StoneCrop.  Laisa and I will be hanging our show on Saturday, so if you feel like watching the interns doing some "real" work—other than holding down fort at the gallery—feel free to stop by, hang out, or, y'know, bring us lunch.

You can see this piece, Purple Clematis, today and tomorrow at StoneCrop Gallery. 

Upcoming show at Panopticon Gallery!

We love Panopticon.

Boston's Panopticon Gallery, one of the oldest fine art photography galleries in the United States, is celebrating its 40th Anniversary!  From September 8th through October 31st, the gallery will be displaying close to seventy-five individual artists who have been asociated with Panopticon Gallery during its forty-year run.  This will be the gallery's largest group exhibition to date.  The opening reception, Thursday September 8th from 5:30-6:30pm, is sure to a good time.

Rabbit rabbit rabbit!

Hello all, Happy September!  The air is crisp, the sun is still warm and, on the train from Boston this morning, I spotted approximately four and a half trees whose leaves have started to turn.  We hope you are able to be out enjoying such a down right beautiful day—so while you're out, stop into the gallery and say hello.  Harold Feinstein's show is still up, but only for one more week—get in here!

 

 

P.S. Ever wonder why you say "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit" at the start of each month? Well now you'll know where it came from.

Monday morning update

Post-Irene Update: everything is a-okay at the gallery—the stones wept (as usual) but the artwork is all fine.  Some strong winds rolled through Shore Road late last night taking down a few big branches, but for the most part the storm missed us.  Now that we have a week's supply of canned tuna, however, our thoughts are with those who have suffered damage over the past two days.

 

 

In other news, Harold Feinstein's show will be up for only ten more days! After that, Laisa's and my show will go up.  So come see it while you still can!  If you're in Maine, we hope you're out enjoying this beautiful day!

The perfect place of respite during stormy weather...

'Where's that?," you say?  StoneCrop Gallery, of course!

     As the threat of Hurricane Irene looms in the distance, Dana and I have started to take some of the necessary steps to protect ourselves and the gallery from the impending weather; we've got some bottled water, bags of chips and cookies, paper dishes and enough cans of Chef Boyardee to last us two months.

     ...Okay, not really (although we are getting water and candles).  We will have to take some actual precautions with the artwork and the gallery, make sure the "open" flag doesn't blow away and find a new home in a neighbor's yard, and move the kiddie pool to a more secure place in the garage. 

     In all seriousness, however, here is how the American Red Cross is suggesting Mainers prepare for the possiblity of some serious weather: Your basic Northeast hurrican survival kit

     So stay safe, stay dry, or have fun and run around in the rain—just watch out for stray branches.  Rest assured, StoneCrop will be open through the wind and rain!  It's a great place to spend part or all of your rainy day hanging out with two cool ladies, some great photos and probably some funny tunes.  Popcorn included.
