Storefront welcomes Irfan Hasan to the gallery for this month’s Salon.  Hasan, who is participating in the first-ever Art Omi/Berkshire Artist Residency Exchange, will discuss his background, experiences, painting style and content.  His works merge traditional miniature painting techniques with contemporary compositions and surreal imagery taken from his subconscious, dreams, and surroundings.  Leslie Ferrin of Ferrin Gallery and organizer of the program, moderates.

As part of his residency, Irfan has been teaching a Mughal Painting Workshop at Storefront Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and will continue the series following the discussion at 6pm.
