Q Gardens Gallery Opening Night a Hit!
Saturday night's opening reception at Kew Garden's new vintage photo/art gallery - Q Gardens Gallery. We had a great time at this opening and the gallery is an excellent little space with some really interesting, beautiful and historically important photos, maps and advertisements. The crowd was thrilled and brought to much conversation by the opening exhibit and we hope that there will be a regular schedule of exhibitions at this highly anticipated new addition to Kew Garden's art scene.

Live Figure Drawing - Brooklyn - Every Friday Night @ The CEEFLAT
Every Friday night from 7-11 artists Kevin Corcoran and Peter Bragino host a live figure drawing session at their space, the CEEFLAT. I have been to this and love it. There is always a great crowd, a talented professional model, plenty of space to work, and it is all in their beautiful gallery/studio in Greenpoint which they meticulously created last year. This is open for seasoned artists as well as the beginner. The first time I did it at the first break I felt as if I just completed an hour of yoga. No better way to spend a Friday evening! I know a bunch from KG and myself will be going out tomorrow night July 31. - byob :)

Hunt for Gigantic Chicken Mushrooms in Forest Park with naturalist/author "Wildman" Steve Brill [photos available from "Wildman"] At 11:45 AM Saturday, Independence Day, July 4, naturalist/author "Wildman" Steve Brill will lead one of his world-famous Wild Food and Ecology Tours of Forest Park. Forest Park's woodlands, cultivated areas, and thickets make it a great place for early summer foraging, and a great place to celebrate Independence Day. The early summer berries are spectacular here. People can't get enough red, white, or pink mulberries, no matter how many branches we shake over a drop cloth. The black raspberries that grace the thickets provide another special treat. And if the weather conditions have been favorable, a sweet cherry tree will provide fruit much tastier than any cherries you can buy. We'll also be finding daylily flowers in bloom. This Asian delicacy, sold in Chinatown as "golden needles," has a sweet, pungent flavor, wonderful in salads and soups, or stuffed. Wild herbs and vegetables abound in partially sunny areas in the woods and in thickets. We'll be hunting for burdock root, greenbrier, sweet cicely, wood sorrel, field garlic, jewelweed, Asiatic dayflower, lady's thumb, mullein, black birch, and sassafras. If it has rained beforehand, we may also find gigantic chicken mushrooms, brittle russulas, The 4-hour walking tour of Forest Park begins at 11:45 AM, on Independence Day, Saturday, July 4, at the stone wall at Union Turnpike and Park Lane, near the Parks Dept.'s Overlook building. The suggested donation is $15 for adults, $10 for children under 12. (Bring exact change). Nobody is ever turned away due to lack of funds. To attend, call (914) 835-2153 at least 24 hours beforehand and reserve a place. For the 2008 tour calendar and additional info, visit http://www. ### Contact: "Wildman" Steve Brill, (914) 835-2153, wildman@ |
