Rock Gallery Opening

On March 11th, the Wood Theater will be transformed into a one-day-only music and art gallery featuring a multi-band concert, live artist gallery and artisan fair.

Anthony Richichi, staple of the Glens Falls arts community and major player in the annual GEM Fest (Glens Falls Entertainment & Music Festival, most recently held at the Shirt Factory) approached the Wood Theater about bringing Gem’s sister festival ‘Rock Gallery’ back to life following a similar event’s success years ago in Saratoga. After a hiatus, the revamped event will now take place in the heart of Glens Falls this March.

A small but mighty committee of passionate artists and music lovers was then formed to put the event together to provide a unique experience for both performers and patrons of the arts.

The festival will begin at Noon and be open to the public free of charge until 5PM, though donations will be accepted at the door for those wishing to support the project and the Wood. The afternoon portion of the event will feature a live painter’s Gallery in Anthony Richichi, Shelley Fairbanks, Sarah Calzada and Hannah Williams showcasing their talents. The Theater’s Cabaret Space will host additional artists and artisans for attendees to shop and support.

The house will then open at 6:30PM for ticketed attendees who will enjoy the acoustic stylings of Reese Fulmer while perusing the vendor area and continued live painter’s Gallery. A Main Stage concert will kick off on the main stage at 7:30PM opening with Seize Atlantis, followed by Lock 9 and closing out with Headliner Capital Zen.

Tickets cost $15 in Advance and $20 after March 1st.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.woodtheater.org/rock or at the Box Office/By phone at (518) 480-4878.

Those interested in attending just the afternoon Artists’ gallery may enter at no cost, though donations to the Wood Theater will be accepted.
