Celebrating their 25 year anniversary, H&B and Friends are excited to share one of four chairs gallery artist Evan Berding designed and produced — and for which he just won the exclusive WORLD category/Maker of the Year award from WoodReview. PS118 in downtown features a holiday reception this Friday and expanded hours through Dec. 23
Wellborn Chair, Evan Berding FIRST PLACE—World category
WoodReview Maker of the Year 2021 Award
Contact the gallery to arrange for private viewings with the young (39) craftsperson himself (who is active making a wide range of commissioned fine furniture).
The gallery is eager to see as much of a spotlight shone on this remarkable achievement and work as the bright lights focusing on area culinary and tech scene endeavors. The visual arts in this area have not received much attention in recent years and this has only gotten worse during covid. Coverage on exhibitions, the craft wares in the two galleries, and the nine books published this year would be appreciated to help spark joy and conversation in in different directions.
TWO HOLIDAY RECEPTIONS with special guests, one day only sales, and door and raffle prizes.

Gallery visits with artists and writers can be easily arranged for engaging conversations and possible feature stories.
