Information

Dottie’s Coffee Lounge/Dorothy's Estaminet, 438/444 North Street, will host “Polly, Elano, and Richard, Icons of The Present Day: Jazz, Pittsfield, and Manhattan” at the Dot Gallery through September featuring Polly Kurasch, Elano Dallmeyer, and Richard Britell. There will be a reception with the artists on Friday, September 6, from 5 to 7 pm.

Polly Kurasch says of her works “These began as sketches done at live jazz sessions in Pittsfield, Lenox, and Newport, and later enlarged with the addition of collage and paint elements.”

Elano Dallmeyer says of his photographs “This series explores an intimate tour of the now defunct Berkshire Mall. A former place of anxious congregation for the youth of the Berkshires.”

Richard Britell says of his paintings “I paint images that seek to document the realities of the hundred-year-old architectural surfaces in New York City, especially downtown Manhattan.”

Dottie’s Coffee Lounge/Dorothy's Estaminet, 438/444 North Street, will host a First Fridays After Party featuring DJ BFG on Friday, September 6, from 7 to 10 pm. Doors open at 6 pm.

DJ BFG, aka Gabby Squailia, has been spinning for dance floors in the Berkshires for twenty years. She is known for seamless mixes, musical versatility, and crowd-reading acumen. She is also the author of the novels Dead Boys and Viscera.

There will be a full cash bar and coffee available for purchase at both events.
