We recieved very positive praise from Nippertown in their recent coverage of Third Friday Schenectady…
The Jay Street Gallery, recently re-located from its old (now demolished) location across the street, had a group show of new work which attracted a steady stream of visitors. The energy at this place, a coop gallery and studio, is palpable, with Vicki and Albie Von Schaaf and Natalie Boburka showing us their studios and enthusiastically explaining the future plans for the gallery.
And Tony Iadicicco, another of the co-founders of The Jay Street Gallery, has also started 3rd Friday Schenectady, an effort to bring art to even more alternative spaces. “Here in Body” a one-night show at 137 State Street, was positively jumping, with new work from Iadicicco as well as Samantha DeTillio, Kaitlyn Dollard, Lynn Rossini, Michael Swint, Steve Condon and Jax Gleckman. We especially liked Dollard’s atmospheric photo transfers and Iadicicco’s bold, geometric paintings.
