Founded in 1983, as a program of the New York Feminist Art Institute, Ceres is a not-for-profit artist run organization dedicated to the promotion of contemporary women in the arts. The gallery exhibits a broad spectrum of high quality work each year within a community of women artists that includes national and international members.
Ceres serves as a supportive base for a diversity of artistic and political views. We have become a venue for female and male writers, musicians, dancers and storytellers to perform and take risks. We believe that the arts provide an important social service with their power to enhance and enrich the quality and depth of our lives. - Stefany Benson, Director

Ceres Gallery is pleased to present Michelle Stone's intriguing and beautiful sculpture installation. Her constructed, abstract hybrid forms live, mutate, combine and transform themselves into a textured, colorful, menagerie of creatures and in doing so transform the gallery into a world of her creation. These engaging constructions create a primal experience as they evolve and regenerate from fragments into a community of relationships. The arrangements are unpredictable and remind one of the rhythms found in nature even though they are contained in a man-made space within the gallery walls. There is harmony as they evolve from a dark shadow side of nature and travel towards the light. Stone meanders through the cycles of growth, transformation and decay as it relates to humanity.

Ceres Gallery is pleased to present the sculpture of Gabrielle Rossmer, an artist who has been exploring the use of small-scale figures for the past 12 years. Rossmer hopes to achieve some of the same motion and emotional power she previously achieved with abstract constructions and large-scale installation work. In this show, Rossmer explores the affinities between dance and sculpture. Dance is body in motion, but it is also gesture. Sculpture is form in space that contains both gesture and motion. She has drawn inspiration specifically from Mark Morris' "L'Allegro, Il Penseroso, ed il Moderato", a modern dance based on the poetry of John Milton and the music of George Friedrich Handel. The choreographic complexity, the unexpectedness and the interdependence of music and movement speak to her in the same inner language she uses to think about and create sculpture. Morris has said he listens to music and 'makes stuff up'. Rossmer creates the individual pieces and then choreographs their dance in the same way.
