Contributed by Karlyn Benson / Turley Gallery in Hudson is moving to a new space on Warren Street and opening three new shows on April 6. Other notable April openings include Becca Lowry and Ashley Lyon at Headstone in Kingston, Debra Ramsay and Leslie Roberts at the Garrison Art Center, and Susan Still Scott and Pearl Cowan at LABspace in Hillsdale. I’m also looking forward to the opening of The Re Institute in Millerton for the season with a show of new work by the space’s founder Henry Klimowicz. At nearby Geary there are a few weeks left to see Will Hutnick’s solo exhibition and on April 20 the gallery will open a solo show of paintings by ransome. Finally, I’m excited to announce the opening of Talking Threads, an exhibition I curated at Susan Eley Fine Art in Hudson featuring seven artists working with textiles. The opening is Saturday, April 6. I hope to see you there!
