Art Opening Plus at Stonover Farm
Art insiders, the inn crowd, and even the outsider art in-crowd (you following this?) gathered on Saturday night at the fabulous barn at Stonover Farm for an opening of paintings by Curtis Ripley, pottery by Luna Garcia, and still-life photography by Dede Reed, among others. While gallerist Suky Werman, orchestrated events downstairs in the intimate Gallery at Stonover, Tom Werman, a rock 'n' roll producer-turned-innkeeper, got things rolling at a dance party upstairs in the vast and fabulous barn. There the rhythm extravaganza known as the Berkshire Batteria had everyone from 2 to 92 on their feet.
