About the Show

Canal Street Art Gallery presents: GRETCHEN SEIFERT In Abstraction open March 3rd, on view to the public through April 3rd. This is the first show in Canal Street Art Gallery’s new Spring lineup of Solo Shows, and the Bellows Falls Vermont gallery’s 2021 Season of sharing local artists and artwork!

“I see abstraction as an opportunity to be curious and to discover. There is an important imaginal quality, a dreamlike exploration that occurs. Abstraction has always, for me, been a doorway into the complex of individual-ness, or, how we relate personally to our unconscious. Not what is in thought, but what is embodied; felt.” -Gretchen Seifert.

Canal Street Art Gallery is honored to introduce the artwork of Gretchen Seifert, a visual artist and musician who has recently relocated to Brattleboro, Vermont. Please welcome this accomplished and prolific artist to our community. GRETCHEN SEIFERT In Abstraction, is, for the first-time, an exclusive glimpse into nearly three decades of art making by a solo artist, Gretchen Seifert. This retrospective exhibits artwork by Seifert including silver gelatin prints of the artist’s photographs, multimedia works on paper, paintings, and drawings.
