We are thrilled to announce an exciting new adventure for Parlor Gallery ~ an Art Consultancy and Sales Program for designers and collectors, which includes art advising for public and private collections and curation as well as advisory services for public art projects, installations and murals.

We are so honored to have been asked to curate the art programming at the Red Bank Design Center,  an amazing resource for the interior design community and their clients. RBDC is a collaborative workspace for the design community to come together; a resource center and showroom that pools together their resources and connections in the trade.  This pairing is the perfect fit for Parlor Gallery and it will be fantastic for us to have a presence in both Red Bank and Asbury Park. We are so grateful to make the connections being offered by Amy Manor and her team of Interior Designers and are ready to introduce our artists to their community.

“The clothing and revolution created by feminist interventions let females know that our flesh was worthy of love and adoration in its natural state; nothing had to be added unless a woman chose further adornment.”  bell hooks, Feminism Is for Everybody

Pen + Brush is pleased to present On Adornment, a group exhibition curated by Jenn Hampton of Parlor Gallery and Wooden Walls Public Art Project. It features emerging and mid-career artists who are unpacking the concept of adornment, particularly in the context of female imaging and agency, and redefining it in contemporary ways.  The artists featured in this exhibition dissect and reframe traditional notions of the term “adornment,” which is typically defined as “something added to make a person or thing more attractive.” Their work reveals nuanced interpretations that reflect on liberation juxtaposed to, or as part of, one’s adornment of oneself. 

Artists featured in this exhibition include: 

Carrie Ann Baade, Alison Brady, Katherine Cooksey, Bri Cirel, Rose Deler, Natalia Fabia, Rose Freymuth-Frazier, Ellen Green, Jan Huling, Julia Ibbini, Katelyn Kopenhaver, Koralie, Joanne Leah, Aleya Lehmann, Michela Martello, Felicita Maynard, Rowan Renee, Jill Ricci, Annina Roescheisen, Rebecca Rose, Aleksandra Stone, and Ellen Stagg. 
 

Exhibition On View: Sept 20th – Oct 27th, 2018
Gallery Hours:  Tues.-Sat. 12-6pm
The exhibition is on view through October 27, 2018.
