As featured in the Village Voice. (Sorry, we won’t be serving vodka….)

Tonight’s the night for Tarot-A-Palooza, our big Halloween tarot marathon at the gallery! It starts at 6 pm and runs until 11 pm. I’m pleased to report that we got a nice write up in the Village Voice, New York City’s most important weekly paper:

FEELING LUCKY?
Give me a quarter . . . I’ll tell you your fortune
BY ARACELI CRUZ

There’s a quaint studio/gallery residing among the Victorian homes near Brooklyn College that has become a sanctuary of sorts. On a typical day, this is where author and illustrator Kris Waldherr displays her work, conducts workshops, and sells books. However, once a month, visitors flock here to get psychic readings—and tonight, on the eve of Halloween, Waldherr is staying open later than usual for Tarot-a-Palooza. Having transformed her gallery into a mystical haven, she has invited tarot card readers for a night of fortune-telling fun. Food and refreshments will be served, and, as Waldherr tells us, she might have to open a bottle or two of vodka to really make a night of it.”

I’m a bit puzzled by the vodka reference. But we will have wine and cheese and fruit. And besides getting your cards read, you can also view our new fairy tale exhibition.

The readers for tonight’s tarot marathon will be me, urban shaman Mama Donna Henes, Diane Saarinen, and Rene Collins. We’’ll be offering readings at a variety of prices on any of your questions. Free admission and refreshments. Costumes optional. Spooky decor and door prizes.

This event takes place at:

1501 Newkirk Avenue (entrance on Marlborough, across from Rite Aid)
Brooklyn, 11226

And happy Halloween!

On a related note as to events and such, I’ll be having an open studio here on November 7 and 8th, from 11 am to 4 pm. It’s all part of my neighborhood’s annual Flatbush Artists Studio Tour, which features the work of twenty-two talented artists:

Set in Victorian Flatbush, a center for Brooklyn’s most stunning houses and gardens, you’re invited:

• To walk our leafy streets
• To tour artists’ studios
• To discover their artwork: painting, sculpture, mixed media, and much more.

Admission is free. Preview the other participating artists’ work here. Can’t make it? Join us at the opening reception on November 5, 7-10 PM at the Newkirk Medical Center, located at 1414 Newkirk Avenue (around the corner from the gallery).
