Fine Art Connoisseur is overjoyed to report the grand opening of RJD Gallery’s new exhibition space in Bridgehampton, New York. Although a devastating fire in December 2016 took them out for a few months, the gallery has risen like the legendary phoenix! Check out its stunning new space here!
Many of our readers already know about the terrible fire on December 16, 2016 in Sag Harbor, New York, that destroyed RJD Gallery — one of the premier contemporary art galleries in the country.
March 2017 marks a major point of celebration as the gallery has just opened a gorgeous new exhibition space in Bridgehampton, New York, at 2385 Montauk Highway between Bobby Vans and the Candy Kitchen. The new gallery boasts nearly twice the space and is already populated with new works by RJD’s accomplished roster of artists.
As Fine Art Today suggested just a few weeks ago, “In Greek mythology, a phoenix is a long-lived bird that is regenerated or reborn. Associated with the sun, the phoenix rises and obtains new life from the ashes of its predecessor. In historical records, the phoenix symbolizes renewal and resurrection, emerging from its death stronger than before.
“The flaming bird of Greek mythology is a perfect metaphor for RJD Gallery: It is sometimes through the most challenging of times that one can emerge stronger and more determined than ever.”
Please join us in celebration and a round of applause for RJD Gallery!
The new space is currently open and will host its first reception on March 25. To learn more, visit RJD Gallery.
