Withnail And I

Boondocks presents the British cult classic WITHNAIL AND I, featuring film-inspired food by our good friends at The Prairie Whale and Chef Dan Studwell — to be held at the New York Times feted @thetriplexgb on Tues. March 25th!
.
This particular screening and food collab has been years in the making, as this film is a favorite of Prairie Whale owner @marknfirth (and Boondocks as well!) You won’t want to miss Richard E. Grant’s virtuoso comedic performance as Withnail on the Triplex’s big screen, preceded by an abundant menu of English countryside fare from the farm-to-table restaurant that must now be considered a GB institution!
.
There’ll be something for everyone, whether you’re a vegetarian who appreciates a ‘firm young carrot’ or a punter with an insatiable appetite for a pork pie. Keep an eye on this space for updates on soundtrack-inspired pre-film live music as well as themed craft cocktails and more!

Tues. March 25, 6:30-9:30pm (film at 8)
At The Triplex Cinema, 70 Railroad St., Great Barrington, MA

Director’s Choice

Director’s Choice is a celebration of the talented artists who the gallery represents some who have been with me since the very beginning others for twenty or more years.

Thirty years ago, I never could have imagined that what began as a small idea would become a life’s work. I am proud to say that the gallery supports many artists in a multitude of ways allowing them to continue their important contributions and work. The rewards, the complexities and the sheer tenacity that being in this business for three decades requires are many; countless studio visits, writing hundreds of press releases and letters of recommendation, juggling finances in a fluctuating marketplace, managing personalities of artists, collectors and art advisors (OY!), marketing, sales, parties, dinners, long installation days, endless loading and unloading my SUV, gallons of white paint only eclipsed by the gallons of white wine and so much more. It has been a journey worth celebrating.

The Director’s Choice exhibition is installed in both beautiful buildings in Kent, CT and includes almost every artist in the program. Artists who have forthcoming exhibitions or were recently featured in exhibitions are not included in Director’s Choice but are valued members of the team and we thank them. It has been my honor to exhibit their work and support their careers.

A special thanks goes out to the many employees and interns who have contributed to the gallery. My sincere and deep gratitude goes to Associate Director Lani Holloway who celebrated her 10-year anniversary at the gallery in 2024.

Artists: Daniel Anselmi, Jackie Battenfield, Gabe Brown, Cecile Chong, David Collins, Susan English, Gregory Hennen, Mary Judge, Andrea Kantrowitz, David Konigsberg, Margaret Lanzetta, Joanne Mattera, Laura Moriarty, Margaret Neill, Melanie Parke, Donna Sharrett, Eve Stockton, Josette Urso, Eleanor White, Tricia Wright

Please contact Lani Ming Holloway, Associate Director, [email protected], 860 560 3085 with inquires or to arrange a preview of the exhibition.
