TEXTURED STORIES: An Exhibition featuring the work of Denise Allen, folk artist and master craftswoman from Palatine Bridge.

As a folk artist who predominately focuses on themes of African American colonial life and country living, Allen creates one-of-a-kind textured artwork employing various techniques, prints, dolls, and story cloths. Her work has been featured nationally and internationally, and in February 2010, she will be unveiling her latest piece, a 9-11 story cloth that will be housed at the forthcoming 9-11 memorial in New York City.

 

This exhibition is made possible with a grant from the Schenectady County Initiative Program.

Exhibition runs February 25 - March 26, 2010. Gallery Hours: 10 am - 4 pm M-F.

Opening wine-and-cheese reception with the artist: Thursday, March 4, 5 p.m.-7 p.m.
