Facade 7 GtownShow.jpg


iMPeRFeCT Gallery invites you to what has become an annual tradition in Germantown. The "Annual" is a non-curated, non-juried, non-judged and uncensored practice that has generated some very strong exhibitions, and this one is no exception. This time is the work of the 81 talented artists living among us, that responded to the Open Call.
To all the artists and friends that stepped up to help the gallery and put together an awesome show, we say THANK YOU!

In THe GReat GLaSS eLeVaToR, painter David Ohlerking will set up a live portrait painting studio for the duration of the show, and starting on Opening Night, he will paint portraits on the spot, of anyone interested. Purchases are not required, but appreciated. Bring the kiddos or another loved one!

LINDEN'S GIFT
This year, iMPeRFeCT Gallery will be presenting a participating artist with a Linden's Gift of $500, created by the Guggenheim Family in honor of their son Linden Jordan Eskenazi, an integral member of the Germantown community. LJ as we knew him, was weighed down by mental illness his entire short life of 33 years and passed away on June 2, 2018.

To make Linden's Gift an enduring presence in Gtown, his family is establishing this annual award for an artist in the Germantown show, to be chosen by the other artists in the show, who will have 2 weeks to cast their 3 votes each. The winner will be announced on Sept 22nd and awarded during our Last Supper on Oct.6.
