GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A new exhibit coming this fall to the University and Grinter Galleries, Fresh from Chelsea, presents 27 works by 21 artists from the collection of Dr. Robert and Lisa Feldman.
Most of the artists in the exhibition are represented by galleries in the Chelsea district of New York City. The works included in Fresh from Chelsea are by “emerging” artists, who have achieved important recognition, but are still early in their careers.
 
The artwork in Fresh from Chelsea is new, exciting and cutting-edge. Several people included in the exhibition create in more than one medium, giving us a look at their cross-disciplinary exploration. The two galleries will have drawing, painting, sculpture, video, installation and a full range of interesting ideas and approaches. Join us for the New York City themed reception on Friday, Aug. 28! 
 
The exhibition runs Sept. 1 – Dec. 4 in University and Grinter Galleries.
