Mary
Samuels, an accomplished Artist, is the Gallery Owner. Her
vision is for Art & Soul to be a creative arts center where
artists and those seeking to connect with creativity know they
can be part of a community that shares common objectives. Art
& Soul Gallery features new exhibits monthly. Each exhibit
has a theme. There is an open reception to welcome every new
exhibit the third Sunday of every month. View our gallery
events page for upcoming exhibits and shows. Artists interested
in exhibiting can visit our Entries
and Info page. Join
our mailing list if you wish to be updated with new events
and classes.
Mary
originally opened Art & Soul Studio as a small place to
paint and teach a few classes. She rented a small 500-square-foot
store on Eastport's Main Street, across the street from it's
current location. Eastport was renowned for its concentration
of antiques dealers and suddenly has become an art, antiques
and social center with the opening of other wonderful quaint
gift shops and popular, cozy social gathering spots. In November
of 2006, Mary had the opportunity to relocate and quadruple
the size of Art & Soul when a spacious former antiques shop
nearby closed. The new expansive space has become a gathering
place drawing artists and art lovers from the Hamptons to Manhattan
who are seeking to connect with other creative types. Here they
can exhibit their art, take a painting or craft class, take
a writing class or buy a unique gift.
Art & Soul currently offers a large variety of art
and fine craft workshops. All are taught by artists who
live in the surrounding community. Workshops include: watercolor,
oil and acrylic painting, decorative painting and jewelry.
