Ashley and Pocket Vinyl! ArtistTree TeaHouse GALLERY156 (Artisan Teas and Gifts) 
156 & 160 School St. Bristol, CT. 06010

ArtistTree TeaHouse is now the home of GALLERY156. The Gallery at 156 School Street was the home of Bare Bones art Gallery and the retail space is now under new management. The gallery continues with art openings for local artists and musicians to celebrate their talents and to share art and beauty with the community. 


















The Museum is delighted to announce plans to unveil the third site-specific installation for February 2014 to animate the LeWitt Family Staircase where undulating, effervescent abstract forms seemingly float above the staircase landing. The artist, Soo Sunny Park, is known for creating otherworldly, immersive installations that transform their environments into seas of dancing light, reflection and shadow. Her proposal for the LeWitt Family Staircase is no exception.
As the artist explains, “The space will be filled with sinuous, large, sprawling structures on two opposing walls (units composed of weaving of metal grid and clear, iridescent, “edge glowing” Plexi glass), which transmit, reflect, and refract light while the painted dark walls of the gallery are enclosed with images that echo the shadows and reflections of the gleaming sculpture. The images are articulated with charcoal and graphite.” Changing light conditions will reveal different facets of the sculpture, so that during different times of day it will be transformed from translucent and clear to colorful and prismatic. The installation will harness daylight and artificial light as mediums with which to create, blurring the line between the physical drawing and the light drawing.
