Belatedly celebrating Westbeth Artists Housing’s 50th anniversary, Westbeth Gallery’s Winter Show presents a selection of remarkable new work created by over 75 emerging and established Westbeth artists. On the evening of Thursday, December 8th, Village Preservation will invite our community to come visit the exhibition followed by a panel with artists from Westbeth to discuss this iconic Greenwich Village institution, its history, the importance of its preservation, and the work of artists in this unique space. 

The Winter Show is dedicated to the ability of art to transform lives.

Artist Panel:

Diana Jensen makes paintings on mylar and plexiglass that reference found vernacular photographs from the 1960s to the present day. Her current project, World Traveler / Shelter at Home, is inspired by a vast vintage travel slide collection.

Painter James Gortner paints in a tempest of styles ranging from realism to abstraction and incorporates found objects and images from found paintings and crafts into his work as vehicles for contemplation of metaphysics, transformation and self expression.

Born in Paris, France, Valérie Hallier came to New York with a Fulbright scholarship, graduated from SVA in Computer Arts and since then, her multimedia work has received prizes and is shown in Europe and in the US.

Stephen Hall is a self taught painter from Aberdeen, Scotland, who’s work for the past several years has been focused on climate change, loss of habitat and general crisis facing our planet.

Christina Maile is of Dayak and West Indian descent, and trained as a landscape architect, her writing and visual work references colonialism, feminism and extinction.

Mourrice Papi is the Gallery Director and Visual Arts Chair for the Westbeth Artists Residents Council.
