eat.shop.guide!

we just found out that we'll be in the new england edition of the eat.shop.guide due out this fall and we couldn't be more thrilled! these guides are beautifully designed and feature only independent businesses. in their words:

not to get all gushy, but here at the eat.shop guides, we have loving feelings for one-of-a-kind, worth going out of the way to visit, independently owned local businesses. though it’s a uniquely american sentiment to think bigger is better, we believe smaller is special—and we’ve dedicated an entire series of city guides to this premise.
they emailed us an image of our page. here it is!

where did october go?



with the flora and fauna show soon coming to a close, i'm aware that it's been an awfully long time since i updated the blog. it's been an incredibly nice month being surrounded by such lovely art by julia rothman and jennifer judd-mcgee. good thing we have an equally incredible show coming up next. gorgeous big paintings by rose umerlik will grace our walls next week and we are really excited!

abbie and i attended a reception last night to celebrate the finalists for the piscataqua region grant, of which rose was one, and quite a few people walked up to rose's paintings and gasped. truth. she makes paintings that absolutely wow me and i feel so grateful to be filling the walls at nahcotta with her work. there will also be a book available of her work...more on that later.

join us next friday, november 6th, from 5-8pm, and see for yourself!

the new math

while we realize the new math has already made its rounds, for those of you who may have missed this one, we think it calls for another go 'round of healthy exposure. lapel pins should be made with this mathematical equation and handed out at the entrance of modern art galleries and museums to set the appropriate mood and quiet the naysayers. not that you're not entitled to your own opinion, of course. but this is so undeniably fantastic:
