I hope this letter finds you well as we welcome the new year. I'm writing to share some exciting news from our corner of the art world here in Hoboken. As you might know, Barsky Gallery has always been a labor of love for me. After the challenges we faced last year, beginning with the fatal explosion, fire and heart-wrenching destruction to our original home for over 10 years, I am thrilled to announce a new chapter for our beloved gallery.
In a twist of fate that feels like poignant irony, we have quietly reopened in a new location, directly across from where our journey began. Standing outside our new space, you can see the Barsky Gallery logo facing the old location, a symbolic reminder of where we've been and where we are headed. This ground-floor location was a significant step, embodying poetic symmetry and a renewal of our commitment to the arts. The response we've received since our reopening has been nothing short of heartwarming. Visitors and guests have been generously offering their accolades, particularly highlighting our thoughtfully designed new 2400 sqft flagship gallery, our diverse selection of art, and the potential our venue holds for a variety of private and community events.
Our new gallery is a testament to resilience and the enduring power of creativity. I've always believed that art has the ability to connect people, and our new gallery is designed with this in mind. It's a place where art lovers can come together to explore, engage and celebrate the diverse voices of contemporary art.
As you've been a part of our journey, I wanted to extend a personal invitation to you to visit us at our new location. Whether you're looking to immerse yourself in contemporary art or seeking a unique venue for an event, Barsky Gallery is ready to welcome you.
I'm also excited to share that our gallery is already becoming a hub for various community events, offering a space where people can come together to celebrate art and culture. The gallery is already home to the popular Mosaic Art Studio's Hoboken location, hosts a range of music recitals & concerts enhanced by our new baby grand piano, and serves as a gathering place for local school fundraisers and charity events. It's a dream come true to see the gallery thriving in this way, and I believe it's just the beginning.
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. It means the world to me, especially during times of change and growth. I look forward to seeing you at the gallery and sharing this new phase of our journey with you.
Warm regards,
Al Barsky
