Energy Exchange: A Night of Portraiture

Portrait Night is coming to GalPar.

An evening of live portrait-making with local artists and neighbors.

June 2 6:30–9PM | 281 Maple St. Brooklyn

Curated by Emily Waters and hosted by Gallery Particulier this event brings together sitters and artists in a friendly intimate portrait session open to our community.

Neighbors—come be drawn painted sketched. Or just observe the process up close.

Spots are limited. Send a message to Y29udGFjdCB8IGdhbGxlcnlwYXJ0aWN1bGllciAhIG9yZw== to sit for a portrait. Tell us a few words about yourself and we’ll pair you with an artist.

Sitting is free. If the sitter so wishes we will produce a canvas print from the painting which the sitter can purchase. It will take a couple of weeks. The price will vary depending on the size of the canvas between $60 and $120.

Artists: We’re inviting artists to take part in this opportunity. Bring your materials create a portrait and join an evening that celebrates representation observation and local connection. You will enjoy diverse sitters and contribute to our mission: share visual arts in innovative ways. You will provide the experience of contemporary art to a local resident.

Artists can work from a photograph (taken there and then) they can complete the work at home. The artwork remains theirs unless they choose to make a different arrangement with the sitter – and they retain the intellectual property naturally

Gallery Particulier will document the evening and promote the artists participating.
