You are invited! The Hadas Gallery (541 Myrtle between Steuben and Emerson) is holding an opening reception for a new exhibition featuring a series of contemporary Jewish portraiture by painter Ali Spechler on Sunday, May 15th from 2-5pm. The exhibition will be up at the gallery through June 30th. From the press release:

“Spechlers subjects range in mood. Somber, hilarious, confident; she paints personality with all its appeal and flaws. Her paintings play with the seriousness that can overburden religious affiliation…Her portraits challenge the sometimes quirky meshing of religious identity with pop culture“.
