Heart Song gallery makes a historic move
GREENE – A cultural success continues to grow in downtown Greene as a local art gallery moves into its new historical location, more than doubling its size and capacity.
Heart Song Designs Art Gallery and Custom Framing has relocated from the center of the village to its new location at the Historic Train Depot, just across the bridge on Washington Street. The Gallery is owned and operated by artist and life resident Joni Eaton.
The gallery is now open, and with the increased space, Eaton has been able to create an art classroom in the back of her gallery and a personal workshop. Eaton is a New York State Certified Art Educator and master calligrapher with over 34 years of experience.
“The art of the letter is really my forte,” said Eaton. She is also an expert picture framer and oil painter. “Frame work and antique frame restoration, has been the bread winner, we can design a frame for anything,” she said. Eaton also said she has been searching for a job as an art teacher but hasn’t yet had any offers.
She currently offers art lessons, custom framing, restorations and custom calligraphy. Eaton is currently teaching two class out of her gallery for basic calligraphy and another advanced classes. Beginning in August the gallery will be offering a series of art class designed for ages 10 and up. The first will be basic drawing and cartooning, then the following week will be macramé jewelry and wall hanging. For the final week of classes she will offer beginner painting.
As an entrepreneur, she opened her gallery in the heart of Greene in 1994, next to the Sherwood Inn. She currently houses 68 artists in her gallery but has had as many as 98 at one time. She also holds solo artist exhibitions with receptions annually. “It’s revolving art,” said Eaton.
Eaton has organized a farmer’s market to take place every Saturday in the Gallery’s parking lot from 10 to noon and on Thursdays from 2 to 6 p.m.
Joni said she comes from a long line of local heritage following in the foot steps of the Julliand family, who were among the first settlers to come to Greene about 200 years ago. “It’s really something to step outside and be able to look down the road to a house my ancestors built over two centuries ago, and here we still are, I feel like I’m part of something special,” said Eaton.
The gallery is open from noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays, although the hours may be expanding soon. To contact the gallery call 656-9889, or e-mail her at jonieaton6@yahoo.com.
