Upcoming Events:

July 19th, 5-8pm: Opening Reception for SCRIPTIVE, Illuminations & Calligraphic Works by Candace Jensen & Sarah La Puerta.

For our summer show, Aleshire Gallery is pleased to present Scriptive, an exhibition of calligraphic illuminations and works on paper and parchment by artists Candace Jensen (S. Vermont) and Sarah La Puerta (Hudson River Valley, NY).

In Scriptive, the two artists will show selections of their work from the last decade, alongside new, never-before-seen illuminations, decorated texts and drawings made with traditional calligraphic materials, such as hand-made inks and watercolors from locally gathered materials, gouache, tempera, ink, gold leaf, paper and parchments processed by hand. 

Third Thursday Figure Drawing

Our monthly figure drawing session will be on hold for the summer while we prepare the new exhibition and reorganize a bit. We’ll pick back up in September with a new host, so stay tuned for more info.
