'Sayonara, Bitches' — about the last show at Art on A Gallery


[Art by Reiko Lauper]

The Art on A Gallery concludes its seven-run run with its final exhibit, "Sayonara, Bitches," which opens tonight.

Here are some details:

These two female Japanese artists, Kumiko Yamada and Reiko Lauper, who have been friends for two decades, are having a collaborative art exhibition. This is a two-series exhibition, showcasing in two different countries starting in Tokyo in 2018.

These exhibition series are themed by "female" and “Wa” (Japanese culture) that are very straightforward. They are showing their new pieces, which were inspired by each other’s artwork ...

Both of the artists will be at the opening reception, and this is going to be the LAST art show at Art on A Gallery.

The opening is tonight from 6-8 at the gallery, 24 Avenue A at Second Street. The show ends July 11.

Also, Reiko Lauper is donating all the proceeds from the sale of her Cyndi Lauper original drawing (or prints) from the show to The True Colors United, a nonprofit that provides help for LGBTQ homeless youth.

As previously reported, the folks at Wendigo decided to give up their lease. As they stated: "One of the reasons, of course, is that like everywhere else in NYC the rent is too high ... beyond that we are ready to place more focus on the music end of the business, Wendigo Productions, LLC."
