 On November 7th, 2015 the Calderone Theater Gallery of Fine Art celebrated its first Anniversary with an Artists’ Reception. The overwhelming attendance and festive atmosphere transformed the reception into a Gala event. The exuberant response from the community helped celebrate the first year anniversary of the Gallery. Jack Ader, Martha Applegate, Arline Goldstein, Richard Merkel, Donna Rollins and Mary Ann Vetter, the exhibiting artists, were thrilled to see that art does bring a community together, and with a fabulous response of donations to the Smithtown Food Pantry, it was a win-win for St. James. The Gallery, situated on the second floor of the Uniquely Natalie Quality Consignment building located on the corner of First Avenue and Second Street, was built in 1910. The building has had many lives, first as a Vaudeville Theater, then in 1950 a movie theater, and again in 1985 when Bernie and Natalie Weinstein redesigned it to function as a design studio on the second floor. At one time on the main floor there was a Tea Room and an Antique Emporium. The creative instincts of Natalie Weinstein has reinvented the Calderone Theater into a shopper’s paradise. It is now a haven for furniture consignees, savvy shoppers looking for special pieces and accessories at bargain prices. The Art Gallery, on the second level, is a perfect complement to the furniture at uniquely Natalie. Arline Goldstein, director of the Calderone Theater Art Gallery, is most excited with the exhibiting artists, each bringing to the Gallery subjects that inspire them and renders their impression in a unique style. It is very special to bring a Fine Art Gallery to the town of St. James. Everybody is welcome, so come in and enjoy the art. Store and gallery hours are: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., closed Tuesday and Wednesday. For additional information call 631-686-5644.
