Holiday Gift Show At Art Gallery

NYACK-PIERMONT, NY - From My Own Little Gallery: This just might be the cure for the person on your holiday gift-giving list who seems to have everything— “The Holiday Art and Uniquities Gift Show” at My Own Little Gallery in Nyack.

Elaine Schloss, owner of My Own Little Gallery and My Own Little Corner Antiques, one of the oldest antique shops in Nyack, combines her two passions in a show featuring 16 artists and hundreds upon hundreds of unusual antique and collectible treasures.

The show opens along with Nyack Art Collective’s First Friday, December 1, from 4 to 7 p.m. and runs through January 14. A public reception will be heldFriday, December 15, from 4 to 7 p.m.

The artistic offerings have been culled from My Own Little Gallery’s first year of exhibitions and include works in seven different media: acrylic, pastel, photography, collage, oils. pencil and sculpture. Also on view is a display of gallery owner Elaine Schloss’s powerful acrylic, expressionist nudes in the permanent gallery.

“It’s been an amazing inaugural year,” says Schloss. “With 21 talented artists, the little gallery packed a big punch. For this show, I selected a retrospective sampling of the great talent I have been fortunate to represent over the past twelve months. Plus, the artwork is displayed among an eclectic, affordable array of what I call ‘uniquities’—unique treasures, big and little, from vintage jewelry, to figurines, pottery, art glass, dolls, toys and games. With affordable art to be loved for a lifetime, or a unique antique treasure, I sought to offer a selection of gift-giving solutions.”

The gallery and antique show is housed in Mainstream Commons on 142 Main Street (formerly the Franklin Antiques Center) recently renovated with a dynamic new façade, adding a new look to the Nyack scene.
