This event has ended.

Life on Mars Gallery presents An Occasional Dream, our final exhibition celebrating our creative community.

This show will feature Life on Mars artists: Todd Bienvenu, Farrell Brickhouse, Mandy Lyn Ford, Brenda Goodman, Arnold Mesches, Fran O’Neill and Karen Schwartz. We have also invited regulars from our artistic community, including Len Bellinger, Paul Behnke, Paul D’Agostino, Daniel John Gadd, Catherine Haggerty, Elisa Jensen, Zachary Keeting, Thomas Micchelli and Dave Pollack. I will also be showing one of my pieces to raise a painterly toast to all that we have accomplished within the Bushwick community and at the gallery.

Life on Mars was a place created and built by painters and for painters—a place where the beauty and power of painting was always our heart and soul. Please join us for our last opening. Raise a glass with us to celebrate all that we have done together, and all that is on our creative horizons.

Opening lyrics to “An Occasional Dream,” by David Bowie

“I recall how we lived On the corner of a bed
And we’d speak of a Swedish room Of hessian and wood
And we’d talk with our eyes
Of the sweetness in our lives
And tomorrows of rich surprise… Some things we could do.”

Thank you for your support, interest, “sweetness” and insights over the years. See you soon.
