A Season of Light, Art, and Gifting
As the days shorten and the winter light begins to glow differently, our gallery at 376 Broadway in Saratoga Springs has a special warmth this season. There’s a delicate shift in the air—reflection, connection, and the quiet energy of giving. For us, the holidays aren’t just about festivity: they’re a time to gather around beauty, to slow down, and to find things that last.
This year’s Small Works Show offers exactly that: hundreds of original, intimate pieces that whisper rather than shout. These are works that fit shelf‑nooks, brighten cozy corners, accompany quiet mornings, and become daily companions. From a modest painting by Ray Simonini’s moody landscapes (“Adelphi’s Secret,” 8×10) to the vibrant energy of Carol Young’s bold shapes and color fields (“Muted Mauve,” 30×30) you’ll find pieces that encircle the room with warmth and presence.
Wandering our walls, you’ll also encounter the lyrical stillness of Sean Carney—each painting a small story of light—and the layered textures of Lisa David, whose work navigates structure and atmosphere with subtlety. These artists invite us to lean in, to see the details, to feel the calm beneath the surface.
At this time of year, the value of art becomes part of something larger: a connection to place, to memory, to the joy of starting something new. It might be a small painting that becomes a centerpiece of conversation, a sculpture that anchors a mantel, or simply the feeling of a space refreshed. In that sense, art becomes the gift that lives beyond the season.
We invite you to visit the gallery in person—there is nothing quite like standing with a work, sensing its scale in real life, noticing its brushwork, its energy. Yet we also understand the beauty of convenience in the season, so many of the pieces from the Small Works Show are available to browse here.
This holiday season, whether you are a seasoned collector or someone thinking about their first piece, we’re here. We’re here to help you find something meaningful, to place it in your home with care, and to celebrate the moment. Because beauty matters. It matters for the years to come.
Thank you for being part of our community—your presence, your visits, your curiosity. May your holidays be warm, luminous, art‑filled, and full of moments when you pause and truly see.
