CITY TO CLOSE SHELTER AT 52 WILLIAM
The new administration has decided to shift course and empty the former Radisson Hotel at 52 William as of June 30.

HIONAS GALLERY will exhibit eight new “residue paintings” by American Abstract Artist Stephen Maine that, while emblematic of the artist’s distinctive relief print-like process and chromatically saturated palette, subtly depart from the field-oriented compositions for which he is known. This is Hionas Gallery’s third solo exhibition with the Artist. Gallery Hours Thursdays – Saturdays 1-4pm and by appointment at 94 Walker Street.
