NEW JERSEY - Washington Crossing, PA-based American Pop Artist Perry Milou is opening a new gallery in Lambertville. Milou is well-known for his iconic portraits, which include famous subjects like Pope Francis, Cassius Clay, and Frida Kahlo. The 2,600-square-foot Milou Gallery is located at 201 S. Main Street in the RiverWalk Complex. It will showcase Milou's art as well as that of four other well-known artists, John Stango (Stacy Roberts), Denise Fike (Emily Taylor Rogers), and Denise Fike (Denise Fike). The gallery's grand opening will be held on Friday, April 14 th from 6-10 p.m. A silent auction will bring in 100 percent of the proceeds to Lambertville's long-standing local food pantry, Fisherman's Mark, and its social services agency, Fishman's Mark.
"This is my first gallery in thirteen years, and I'm so excited! The previous gallery was in Miami's Wynwood Art District. It's also a joy to see John Stango, an internationally-respected pop artist, and mentor whom I have been able to connect with for many decades. He might be the most famous artist from our region. It's a great honor to support a Hunterdon County organization that has provided assistance to thousands of Hunterdon County residents. We are committed to raising a lot for Fisherman's Mark on that night!"
Jennifer Williford (Executive Director of Fisherman's Mark) said they are grateful to Perry for this amazing event. She also expressed her gratitude for Perry's kindness. "Given recent cuts in SNAP benefits and inflation-driven rises in food prices, this generous gift will allow us to keep any poor community member from being turned away by this generous gift."
Since its inception, Fisherman's Mark in Lambertville has been a valuable asset. They provide guidance and support for people in crisis and facilitate innovative programs and services promoting stability and health. The Free Market, which distributes more than 285,000 pounds of food to those in need in the area in recent years, is an essential service for residents.
