For the first time in ages Sullivan Goss had two contemporary art exhibits opening on the same night. Throw in an appearance by the popular Nicole Strasburg and you have a recipe for one very busy First Thursday, with the artists from all three shows in the contemporary gallery together at once. Curator Susan Bush found a moment during the evening to capture the event with few photos.

If you weren’t able to attend the opening, take a moment this weekend to stop in and see all of these great shows.

Emerging artist Robert Townsend will have his first solo exhibit with Sullivan Goss starting September 3rd. We are all incredibly excited about this up-and-coming talent and hope to see lots of people for the opening on 1st Thursday. Susan Bush has recently finished a video to accompany the exhibit.  The video gives a wonderful taste of what is up on the walls, but these paintings really must be seen in person to be appreciated. I’ll also let our blog readers in on a little secret: we’ve already got the show installed so if you would like to come in to get a special sneak preview, head into the gallery before the official opening on the 3rd.

The show will remain up until November 29th, but a few of the works from this show have already sold. So, if you are interested in acquiring one of these great new paintings, we encourage you to come in soon to pick out your favorite before it is gone.
