“Studio visits are the best part of my job but unfortunately often get pushed and put off because of time constraints.  This is the perfect time to launch this virtual studio visit program so that we can connect with one another and be ready to share actual work once the stay-at-home ban is lifted.  It is always exciting to see work in progress or transitions in an artist’s work.  I welcome the dialogue with the wonderful artists that have been so supportive of Guild Hall.”  – Christina Mossaides Strassfield

Virtual Art Salon: Alice Hope & Tripoli Patterson

Join Guild Hall Curatorial Assistant, Casey Dalene as she engages with one of our most valuable resources during this time (and at all times): Artists. What better profession to teach us how to be at home, often times solitary, alone with our thoughts, finding ways to express ourselves, and looking towards the future. 

This week Casey ZOOMs with gallerist Tripoli Patterson and artist, Alice Hope, for a tour and conversation on her exhibition, Surge at Tripoli Gallery in Wainscott, NY. Trip’s large barn space expands the possibilities; allowing Alice to utilize a 17ft wall to complete a commission for the American Embassy in Mozambique and to work on a new 10 x 10 ft Tyvek and copper painting. All while amidst a pandemic, Casey, Trip and Alice find a way to continue the conversation and unite over a common essential: Art.
