    Holiday Invitational Exhibit Plus Members’ Group Show

    Friday November 21, 2025 – Sunday January 4, 2026 
    Opening reception: Saturday, November 22 from 3 – 5pm 

    Longyear Gallery has a yearly tradition of artists choosing artists for this show.  It is one of the gallery’s favorite shows and we are excited to bring new artists into our region of the Catskills.

    Artists are a unique community.  Even though our artwork creation usually happens in solitude, there is a unique communication between us about our process and showing of new artwork.

    And let us not forget our Longyear Gallery audience.  To attend a gallery always brings a wonderful exchange about art, viewing our favorite artists’ creation and sharing the joy of lovers of art.

    Fall/Winter gallery hours now: 11-4, Fri., Sat., Sun., Holiday Mondays
