Friday evening I rushed to the Blue Rain Gallery opening for the Second Invitational Glass Show, which runs till June 27, 2015. Blue Rain is a really nice gallery at 130 Lincoln Avenue, near the plaza and down the street from the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe. Owner Leroy Garcia told me that the gallery is celebrating 24 years in business!
The curator of the glass show is Preston Singletary, whose unique work I had seen at the gallery on an earlier visit.
Among the artists in the show at Blue Rain:
* Tobias Møhl, from Denmark. I saw his work last summer in Seattle at the Traver Gallery. He had several interesting pieces in this show. Here’s one:
* Michael Cozza is another artist whose work I saw last summer in Seattle:
* Armelle Bouchet O’Neill, originally from France, married to glass artist Sean O’Neill. We had a nice chat about her work, which is quite interesting and (of course) different:
* Erich Woll:
* Janusz Pozniak:
* Joe BenVenuto:
* Several pieces by Sasha Tepper Stewart, an up-and-coming artist:
* Ben Edols and Kathy Elliott:
* Sean Albert:
After I left the opening, I went across the street and found out that the New Mexico Museum of Art was open until 8 p.m. and free after 5 p.m. I went quickly to look at the exhibit on color and check out the gift shop (and the glass in it).
