Richard Jacobs @ Longhouse Studios
Saturday 14th November, 12:00
Dear invited guest,
I am so pleased to invite you to our new studio for the annual open house at 52 O Street Studios. I took a studio last spring in this creative hub where my new incubator, Longhouse, is starting to grow and take form. Part of Longhouse's mission is regular studio visits with artists and small exhibitions, both online and at the Longhouse Studio. Small is the operative word. At Longhouse, we focus on intimate, bespoke projects and events with impact.
It couldn’t be more fitting for my first show to feature Richard Jacobs' work. I have known Jacobs since my early college days, and we have followed each other’s careers in the art world over decades. The first painting I ever bought for my own private collection was a work by Jacobs titled “The Last Great American Indian”. It hangs in my home office today, and it is extraordinary that I would come to name my incubator Longhouse many years later, in homage to my Mohawk ancestor. We are lucky that Jacobs has agreed to share a glimpse of his work in advance of his upcoming solo exhibition at the Zillman Art Museum in Bangor, Maine in May of 2027. This will feature, as with our own smaller private viewing, works from his studios in Bali and in Vermont. 'Bali Monotypes and Vermont Paintings' is a rare juxtaposition of styles and sensibilities that both contrast and coexist in harmony.
52 O Street Studios is an eclectic community of diverse artists, gallerists, and creatives, and I am having so much fun being a part of it. I hope you will enjoy visiting as well. An invitation to the open house will follow soon.
Warmly,
Libby
