An Art Gallery Crawl down Greenwich Avenue

On June 13, the Bruce Contemporaries had a fun and colorful evening learning about the local Greenwich art scene during the first-ever Bruce Contemporaries “Gallery Crawl” down Greenwich Avenue, capped off by dinner at Eastend Greenwich.

During the Gallery Crawl, members visited Gilles Clement Gallery, Weber Fine Art and C. Parker Gallery. Each gallery had amazing works on view and exhibitions that were very diverse thematically. From Gilles Clement's multi-artist show including works by Robert Mars and Vicki DaSilva to the stunning mountainscapes in Renate Aller's Mountain Interval at Weber Fine Art to Good Times, Big Hair showcasing pieces by iconic 80's rock & roll photographer Mark Weiss at C.
