There will be a reception with the artist during the September 1 First Fridays Artswalk from 5 to 7 pm. \n  \nMary is a painter living in South Egremont\, MA.

Combining graphite\, charcoal\, and pastel for a wide tonal range\, Kit creates figurative and illustrative black and white chiaroscuro drawings in which witches and goblins dance amidst a crumbling world. Kit Curry’s artwork serves as a reminder of the mystery\, terror\, and delight of the strange world we inhabit. \n  \nHotel on North\, 297 North Street\, will feature When Soft Particles Soften: Abstract work by Justin Carafotes & Ryan Garvey through September 30. Soft Particles was first presented at His Daughter Paloma Gallery in August of 2022 curated by Justin Carafotes.
