\"\"<\/a>The new Propeller Gallery at 30 Abell Street<\/p>\n

Gallery Gala Launch: Saturday, January 17, 2015 \/ 6 – 10 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a new space to reveal, Propeller Gallery had quite an evening to celebrate on the January 17, 2015. The sounds of live jazz from saxophonist Bill Prouton, guitarist\u00a0Henrique Matulis and a chattering crowd filled the two-room gallery at 30 Abell Street.<\/p>\n

Chosen works from several of the gallery\u2019s artists decorated the event; colorful paintings, photographs, drawings, and even some sculpture complimented the cheery evening. It is evident that Propeller\u2019s new space provides a greater sense of agency to the works, giving them opportunity to interact with the viewer. Propeller artist Heather Gentleman described the new space as \u201corganic\u201d providing guests with a greater sense of flow. I think that was distinct in the space\u2019s design. Guests circulated between the two rooms with ease. Joseph Muscat, Propeller\u2019s Chair, was excited about the new space and the prospective of a lot of future success at the Artscape Loft location.<\/p>\n

The gallery is soon hosting their annual \u201cBlack and White Ball V\u201d on January 29th, an event coordinated by Gentleman, who seemed excited for the event\u2019s success in the new space. With many new faces and a great turnout from the Opening Gala, future events at Propeller should be a great success. It is with great excitement that I look forward to future shows at Propeller!<\/p>\n
