Install day ✔️
Ever wonder how a 440 Gallery show gets installed? It’s a combination of curation, collaboration, drilling, cleaning and painting. Fred Bendheim: Music For My Eyes opens tomorrow, with an opening reception this Saturday, October 11, 4–6pm.
OUR TWO SHOWS run October 9 through November 9:
• Fred Bendheim, Music for My Eyes, a solo exhibition of abstract paintings and sculpture.
• In the Project Space: Framing the View, a group show of work by Leigh Blanchard, Joy Makon, Catherine Orrok, Janet Pedersen

I put together a playlist of some of the music I listened to while creating the work for Meet Me Underwater 🌊 A lot of these songs directly inspired the pieces, with lyrics making their way into artwork titles and even into the work itself.

Lace becomes a recurring motif in Leigh Blanchard’s new works. Her show of photographs and mixed-media images, “Meet Me Underwater,” has several pieces that feature lace as an element.
“Lace, in particular, has held a significance throughout my journey as an autistic artist,” says Leigh. “I use it as a way to ground myself, and in turn, I extend that same sense of relief to the figures within the work.”

Thank you to everyone who stopped by this weekend to see our new shows.
In the front gallery, “Meet Me Underwater” is a solo show of photographs and mixed-media images by Leigh Blanchard. Diagnosed as Autistic in 2024, Blanchard created this body of work in response to her diagnostic journey. Combining photography and fiber elements such as lace and embroidery, Blanchard’s pieces evoke both comfort and unease.
In the Project Space, “Drawing the Line” is a group show by Jo-Ann Acey, Catherine Orrok and Janet Pedersen. Three painters explore the importance of line as a basic means of expression.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
