Perry Lawson Fine Art is pleased to present Hope is the Thing with Feathers, an exhibition featuring bird-themed artwork by Sharon Falk, Glenn Goldberg, Bryn Jayes, Jackie Shatz, Mckenna van Koppen, and Hanna von Goeler. The title is drawn from Emily Dickinson’s poem of the same name, which serves as a touchstone for the exhibition’s exploration of birds as symbols of hope and resilience. In times of uncertainty, they can remind us of the power of persistence and the possibility of flight beyond hardship. This exhibition pays homage to birds and all they symbolize, offering a space to reflect on hope as an ever-present force.

Throughout the run of the show, Elmwood’s lobby gallery exhibits the work of the artists of Nyack Art Collective, with a pre-show gallery reception starting at 6:30 pm on opening night Friday, March 14 to meet the artists and enjoy complimentary wine and cheese from local gourmet shop, Scott and Joe.
