Whitney’s had a busy year, including a solo exhibit in December, throwing events like Art on the Rocks, and oh yeah, getting juried into the Torpedo Factory in March. This month, Whitney took over for Rose O’Donnell, who was Gallery Director for ten years and has moved upstairs to work part-time in our Development Office. Next time you’re around, stop by and say hi!
