Exhibiting world class artists in a variety of media About the gallery Gallery Owner and Director Zoe Randall founded The Chace-Randall Gallery in 2005 in one of the Village of Andes' original Main Street Victorians. Wanting to make the building's history part of the gallery experience, Randall (and husband Tom Lavazzi) named it for the former residence's original owner, George E. Chace, who built the house in 1878. The Chace-Randall Gallery is a salon style fine art gallery comprised of 4 distinct viewing rooms, lit by ample natural light, antique chandeliers and professional track lighting. The walls are warm in hue, and furnishings are spare, though elegant and comfortable. Randall’s plan is to enable gallery visitors to easily envision how artwork will look in the home. The Gallery’s seven yearly exhibitions range from the solo show to group exhibitions and run six to seven weeks each. In addition to each featured exhibition, the gallery hosts a revolving group show of permanent exhibiting artists. All gallery artists are of stellar caliber and sport impressive exhibition histories—many museum exhibited and collected. About the Gallery Owner/Director: From New York City, Zoe Randall has a background in critical and creative writing. She holds a Master's Degree in English Literature and taught in the City University system for five years. While living and writing in Savannah, GA, during the late 1990's, Randall reviewed for Art Papers (Atlanta) and Women in Performance (NYU), and had a weekly Art column in The Savannah Morning News and Connect Savannah. She was a regular Art feature writer for Southern Living and Savannah Magazine, lectured at The School of Visual Arts, and served on the Individual Artist's Grant review board, City of Savannah, Department of Cultural Affairs. After relocating to the Catskills, Randall had a successful run as Director of the Enderlin Gallery, Roxbury, where according to one critic, Randall "single-handedly raised the bar for the quality of art galleries in the Catskills." The Chace-Randall Gallery, Andes, NY, continues to raise that bar. |
