Backstreet Gallery- All that Glitters

                                      www.backstreetgallery.com

Located on picturesque Lawton Avenue, is the Backstreet Gallery.  Ivar Hayden, the master framer with 35 years experience, has the perfect setting for a gallery. The intimate space has high ceilings and an artist mural on the exterior of the building. Enter and the neutral colored walls create the ideal canvas for an artist to showcase their work. Today Hilary Zelson was showing pieces from her  Dripping in Glitter collection.  For the pieces she used glitter on canvas in lieu of paint.

The room was abuzz with local art aficionados including New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson. While guests nibbled on gourmet appetizers and sipped champagne, Ivar worked the room engaging patrons in conversation. After 30 minutes one could easily forget that they are in New Rochelle and not SoHo.
