Saturday, October 29, 2011, 2-6pm  |  68 Summit Street, Nyack, NY 10960

SUMMIT is an ephemeral exhibit of 4 artists who live in Nyack and the surrounding area. 

From 2-6pm on Saturday, October 29, a 135 year-old home on Summit Street in Nyack will subvert notions of the traditional gallery by transforming into a contemporary art space to showcase the work of four artists. Small and large drawings and paintings will be hung in an unexpected ascending space – a three story staircase. The experience of ascending and reaching an unknown “summit” will occur alongside viewing the works from an unfamiliar perspective. Additional works on paper and canvas will be on exhibit in the home’s living room-cum-temporary gallery where a reception will be held.

Nyack has long been known as a progressive, arts community, yet contemporary art galleries remain in short supply. SUMMIT: Four Points of View In Painting and Drawing aims to create a stimulating, although temporary, alternative gallery experience for the art scene and the community. In addition to Saturday’s show, the work can be viewed by appointment only the following day. That evening it will all come down and the home will reclaim its domestic identity.
