Madarts Studios is delighted to celebrate the grand opening of our shiny new Park Slope art gallery with the exhibition: INTRO. All forty artists of Madarts make the line up in the salon style exhibition (I will have a new light box of which the above image is a digital rendering) to christen our new permanent gallery in the heart of Park Slope: 461 5th Ave. – right on the corner 5th Ave. and 10th St.Stop in to see the very first show at the newly opened storefront and have wine and cheese with world class artists who may happen to be your neighbor.

The exhibition opens at 6pm sharp with a 10pm ‘meet the artists’ after-party at Commonwealth Bar just down the street at 5th Ave. and 12th St. INTRO gallery hours will be Thurdays through Sundays from noon to 6pm, closing Sunday, August 9th.

I am one in a team of faculty and students from Parsons, Milano, and the graduate program in International Affairs from The New School to return to Guatemala to continue the work started last year, with the goal of promoting social and economic development through design.

We are collaborating with an association of Mayan weavers in the town of San Lucas Toliman and with a group that is just now working together, in Santiago Zamora.
