Saturday in the Hamptons

For the first time, Bob Gruen and his wife, Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen, will be together in a gallery.

Bob is known for his vast rock and roll portfolio, while Elizabeth has been recognized for her free-hand scalpel-cut paper assemblages. 

Their works will be presented by the Stella Flame Gallery in Bridgehampton, New York. They are to be in attendance on July 19th, from 5-7 p.m., along with goldsmith Donna Distefano and DJ Chili.

Some of the event's proceeds will be donated to Glam4Good, which ignites positive social change through style. 

This is also the gallery's third anniversary bash.

Stella told the Art And Music Guide that they specialize in pop/conceptual and magical realism/Dada inspired art, along with special photography. An example of the former is Jojo Anavim, whose subjects include Wonder bread, Coca-Cola, Mister Softee, and the American flag.
