Kehler Liddell Gallery
(KLG) will be implementing a new dimension to its online presence this week, designed to keep the art savvy public engaged, and keep its artist community thriving, during this challenging time. Beginning with this month’s exhibition, “Journeying,” two solo shows by Frank Bruckmann and Kim Weston.
I-Visit Tab on Website:
KLG has launched a new section of its website, “I-Visit,” that will allow viewers a chance to make a virtual visit to the gallery. This section will include:
- I-Tour: Take a personalized tour of the exhibitions narrated by the artists, and/or enjoy a conversation between the artists and guest curators. This month, Sarah Fritchey, Curator at Artspace New Haven, will be in conversation with artists Kim Weston and Frank Bruckmann. Air Date TBD.
- I-Buy: Like what you see? Peruse our new online shop, complete with an entire image catalogue from the shows, and for the first time ever, an actionable “BUY NOW” button. We will pack and deliver or ship the works right to your door.
Regarding the tours, for the health and safety of all, no more than 5 people will be permitted into the 2,000 square foot gallery space at any given time. Rest assured, KLG is taking every precaution as outlined by the CDC to wash and sanitize common areas. We also ask guests to adhere to social distancing recommendations of 6ft between each other while in the gallery.
Gallery hours:
Thursday – Friday, 11am-4pm; Saturday–Sunday,10am-4pm. The gallery is free and open to the public.

“My mom taught me to embroider when I was a small girl. Then came sewing, crocheting, knitting. Later on I became a weaver. Working with textiles aligned with my tendencies towards perfection; something that the shadow boxes take full advantage of.
Making these small pieces of work has been joyous. Small, disparate pieces with past lives finding a new one. I like the perceived limitations of the rectangle, and that the items visibly balance without worrying about how they do so physically. Framing the works allows the viewer to focus on the small items, looking, often for the first time, at their design, function, and material.”
