Nansi Lent
FOUNDER, ARTIST
The gallery was founded by Nansi Lent, whose studio was adjacent to the gallery’s home base, at 4 South Clinton Street. Like a snowball that gathers snow, the intention is the growth of a collective, over time. We welcome ideas for exhibits from women artists and curators, and actively seek more venues in Poughkeepsie for on-going exhibits.
