Milou Gallery grand opening, silent auction to benefit Fisherman’s Mark

Posted

Washington Crossing-based American Pop Artist Perry Milou, known for his portraits of freedom fighters and famous subjects, including Pope Francis, Cassius Clay and Frida Kahlo, is opening an expansive new gallery in Lambertville, N.J.

The 2,600 square-foot Milou Gallery, located at 201 S. Main St. in the RiverWalk Complex, will feature Milou’s work as well as four other well-known artists: John Stango, Stacy Roberts, Denise Fike, and Emily Taylor Rogers.

One hundred percent of proceeds from a silent auction during the gallery’s grand opening, which will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, April 14, will benefit Lambertville’s longtime local food pantry and social services agency, Fisherman’s Mark.

“I’m really excited because this is my first gallery in 13 years. The previous one was located in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. I’m also thrilled to reconnect with my mentor of several decades, internationally recognized modern pop artist John Stango, who might be the most well-known artist from our area,” Milou said.

“And I’m especially pleased to be able to help a local organization that has helped thousands of Hunterdon County residents. We’re committed to raising a lot of money for Fisherman’s Mark that night.”

“We are extremely grateful to be the beneficiary of this fantastic event and truly touched by Perry’s generosity,” said Jennifer Williford, executive director of Fisherman’s Mark. “Given the recent reduction in SNAP benefits and inflation-driven increases in food costs, this generous gift will enable us to prevent turning away any community member in need.”
