Gregory James Gallery Is Presenting

Grand Re-Opening Celebration Exhibit

NEW MILFORD — The Gregory James Gallery is presenting its first group exhibit at its new location on the historic New Milford green, in the Bank Street Plaza at 27 Main Street.

The “Grand Re-Opening Celebration Exhibition,” which will remain on view until May 18, includes more than 50 works of art by many of the gallery’s regularly featured artists – among them the prominent bird sculptor and landscape painter Bill Rice, the renowned wildlife artist John Swatsley, and Christopher Magadini, who is well known for his still-life oils and on location landscape paintings of the Northeast.

The show also includes the award-winning work of Edward Martinez, Deborah Chabrian, Mel Crawford, Alain Picard, and others. In addition, artists with work being shown at the gallery for the first time include Michael Garland, Frank Metz, Tom Key and Lorraine Ryan.

Says owner Greg Mullen, “The gallery’s new location is allowing me to build the world-class gallery I always envisioned and to exhibit the finest artists in this area and beyond. The generous new space includes three separate viewing rooms, offering a sense of expanse, comfort and flexibility.”

Mr Mullen feels the revitalized village of New Milford features one of Connecticut’s most picturesque greens. The village is becoming a year-round center of activity, including outdoor concerts and art shows. There are many quaint shops, a playhouse, movie theatre, great restaurants, a coffee house, a patisserie, and gift and clothing boutiques.

Mr Mullen has lived in this community for more than 30 years.

“I feel very fortunate to live in a rural community that offers so much,” he says. “It’s my hope that the gallery will regularly contribute to New Milford’s broad array of cultural activities.”
