Opening April 11 from 1-3pm at Bruno’s!
📍58-42A Catalpa Ave, Ridgewood, NY 11385📍

‘Tomorrow is not better on the other side of the grass’ is the first exhibition at Bruno’s, Studio Route 29’s Ridgewood gallery: a group show which brings together work from artists who do and don’t work in or at Progressive art studios. The show coalesces loosely (like weather or a time of day) around the strange, strained, and fruitful positions we may take while living in/with a construction that seeks to position “nature” as separate from… anything. How are we apart from and a part of our world? 
As we think about this show and this work we are thinking about adaptation: the ways in which worlds are built within this one to open windows to other ways of being and dreaming; the ways in which we stretch like weeds towards the beautiful radiating sunlights we desire while our roots dig towards soils more nourishing; the ways we may adapt painting to conceal the idealism of abstraction inside the soft materialism of a dish rag; the ways we become other to become our slicked and multiple selves, attached like barnacles to the panes between realms, trash heap angels on high.

This year’s Frenchtown Eco-Week Fashion Show was one for the books! Studio Route 29 artists and facilitators put so much care into their looks, and we couldn’t be prouder of how everything turned out.

Massive shoutouts to @lovefrenchtown @artyardcenter @david_ferron and the incredible team of designers, models, and artists who made this year so special. We’re blown away by these photos and can’t wait to share more.

Studio Route 29 artists gather on stage as they celebrate their participation in the Frenchtown Eco-Week Fashion Show. They stand beneath stage lights on a lit-up catwalk, surrounded by applauding seated onlookers.

We had an incredible time hosting Ira Karp and @breadandpuppet @mindlifetheater latest production, "Greenwood: The Musical," in our Little Theater!

It’s a fun, wacky, wild ride (our faces hurt from smiling and our bellies from laughing)! If you get the chance to see it, don’t miss it...we can’t recommend it enough!

Huge shoutout to everyone who came out and to all our friends and neighbors who helped make the night so special. We’re already counting down to the next one!

The cast of Greenwood: The Musical stands and kneels side by side with Studio Route 29 artists who volunteered for the production. They are gathered on a warmly lit stage in front of a hand-painted backdrop, with flower petals scattered across the floor. Nearly everyone is smiling and dressed in a fun, colorful costume.
