Garrison Art Center / #GAC_QuarantineArt
After careful consideration and in light of the most recent recommendations coming from CDC, county, state and federal entities, we have decided to temporarily close Garrison Art Center. In the best interest of our members, our staff, and our visitors, we will remain closed until we are advised it is once again safe to be open.
The solo exhibitions of Caroline Burton and Eric Erickson have been cancelled to be rescheduled during our 2021 season.
We will keep you posted on new developments and look forward to the day we are back up and running in full capacity.
We know how important art is to all of us right now. It is also important to support our talented local artists. One great way to bring art into your home right now is to visit our Artist Members' Gallery. You might discover a new artist and decide to support that artist with a commission or purchase! (Social distance hand-off or a sanitized shipment?) Perhaps a favorite artist will submit work to our Riverside Art Auction!
Speaking of the Riverside Art Auction: At this point, the auction remains scheduled for Saturday, May 9. Artists will receive information regarding participation in the next couple days. We realize there is a STRONG possibility the auction will need to be postponed or made virtual, but at this point we will forge ahead, all the while being ready to adjust as we get further down this unpredictable road.
In the meantime, we hope you will follow our Instagram and Facebook pages as we hope to inspire or brighten your days with virtual content such as "Teacher Features", "Member Mondays" and "Throwback Thursday" images from past exhibitions, classes and events. We might even be so lucky to have a few of our teachers offer a video technique tip or two to share!
We have altered our recommended hashtag for postings of the art you and your family create at home during this time to #GAC_QuarantineArt. This will give us our very own page of GAC Member/follower art! We can't wait to see what you create - the good, the bad, the silly, the poignant!
We encourage you to keep local nonprofits in your thoughts during this time as suspended programming will most likely have a negative economic impact. Click the yellow button on any page of our website to donate.
One last thought: We de-installed the colorful, joyous, energetic, School Invitational Theme Exhibition on Monday as our last task before closing. Pictured above are details of some of the wonderful work from that show.
Our galleries are currently empty - back to bare white. This could feel a little sad.
We will look instead, for the next couple of months, to the wisdom expressed in the final line in the musical based on the life and art of George Seurat, Sunday in the Park with George:
"White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities."

Garrison Art Center
The exhibitions will be in the Riverside Galleries from March 21 – May 3, 2020.
Please join us for the opening reception on Saturday, March 21, 5-7pm.
Incarnations is an exhibition of large mixed media paintings by Caroline Burton on view in the Gillette Gallery. These inviting works combine elements of printmaking, painting, traditional crafts and textile arts. Dramatic in their presence, Burton’s work balances personal expression with a formal minimalist structure. Provocatively worked surfaces pull the viewer into a mysterious space of dark matte finishes and shimmering light. Press release
Paintings by Eric Erickson, is an exhibition of works that challenge our perceptions both of spacial relations and the relationships between objects. Pipes, faucets, and bricks float in suspended animation and occupy an uncertain terrain where perspectives shift in unpredictable ways. Rich surfaces of scumbled paint and vanishing images provide the viewer with a history of the painting and something more to ponder. Press release
