Three Open Calls Information from Mills Pond Gallery

Three Open Calls Information from Mills Pond Gallery

​This year, I planned to actively participate in open calls with a more community-centered focus. First, because of my love for Long Island, where I live, and because I wanted to share art with my neighbors and local residents whenever possible. Of course, even if the work is done regionally, thanks to the technology of the Internet , all of the activities are linked to art lovers in other regions.

​I especially love my local gallery, Mills Pond Gallery. This gallery is like my second hometown. My first gallery was the Poly Gallery in Germany. Mills Pond Gallery was the gallery that helped me up my shaky knees and held my hand when I first set foot in this strange place. Miss. Allison, the gallery curator and director,  warmly welcomed me. I never forget that scene. Still, when I visit this gallery, she looks at me with those warm, beautiful blue eyes that I remember from before. Every time I take my picture, I think that her eyes are as warm and beautiful as the blue sea of Long Island.

​I plan to showcase my work more actively here in the future. This gallery is always at the top of my priorities. And I want to attend all the open calls held here as much as possible. In reality, there are times when this is not possible due to busy schedules. There are times when it is difficult to attend the reception and there are times when the work cannot be finished on time. But I'm going to try my best this year.
