Kehler Liddell Gallery, New Haven, is pleased to announce that Jean Perkins has been appointed Director of the gallery. Perkins joined Kehler Liddell in early January 2012.
Perkins brings 30 years experience in marketing, advertising, arts administration and personal experience as a working artist. Most recently she has worked as a consultant to small retail businesses, non-profits, and exhibited her work in New Haven, Guilford, Branford and Boston. Her non-profit experience includes leadership positions at the Guilford Art Center, Guilford, Connecticut, The Grant Park Music Festival, and The Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago. Prior to that she pursued a career in marketing and advertising in Boston and New York.
Perkins said, “Kehler Liddell Gallery is extremely important in the mix of art venues in New Haven and Connecticut. It represents the work of local, award-winning artists in a full range of media including painting, works on paper, photography and sculpture. It is focused on presenting work that explores our culture while delivering an aesthetic experience. Come visit and you’ll see. This isn’t art that just sits there. It’s art with a voice: art that has the capacity to move one, stir one’s being.
“On February 2, we opened with the work photographs of Alan Shulik and sculpture of Peter Wickenden. In the North Gallery visitors will find the Member Flat File Exhibition. Selected works on paper from the file are on view accompanied by sculpture. Visitors to the gallery are invited to explore the work in the drawers of the flat file.
“It is a very compelling exhibition. I am excited and looking forward to meeting the many folks who are interested in the work of both artists as well as art lovers from all of New Haven and surrounds.”
