Red Hook openings have a different texture from Chelsea ones — warehouse space, an indie bookshop as host, and a room where you can talk to whoever made the work. Kupreeva paints koi, flowers and portraits of women to argue against being looked at superficially, a pointed subject for deliberately beautiful canvases. Free, three hours, and a good anchor for a Red Hook evening.
What to expect
A single-evening opening in a Red Hook space rather than an ongoing gallery run, so this is the night to go. Expect a small, conversational crowd, work hung for close viewing and the option to talk to the organisers about the pieces. Everything is free to attend.
Good to know
- Red Hook has no subway — the B61 bus, the NYC Ferry to Red Hook or a car service are the realistic routes
- Admission is free and open to anyone
- It is a one-evening opening rather than an ongoing exhibition, so plan around the night
- The paintings are for sale, so the organisers are happy to talk pricing
- Pair it with a Red Hook dinner — the neighborhood is walkable once you are there

Common questions
Are the paintings for sale?
Yes. This is a selling show, and the organisers are on hand to discuss individual works during the opening.
How long is the show up?
It is presented as a single opening evening rather than a multi-week gallery run, so treat it as a one-night event.
How do I get to Red Hook?
There is no subway service; the B61 bus, the NYC Ferry Red Hook stop or a car service are the usual options.
