Vanda Gallery is a SoHo - level art space, both the physical layout as well as the quality of the art on display. The space is reached easily from anyplace in Westchester/Fairfield area, and worth the train ride from Manhattan. Tall ceilings, appealing lighting and music, big storefront windows all speak to the thoughtfulness that went into designing the gallery as well as the ongoing care the gallerists use in selecting the artwork. It’s a welcoming space— easy to roam around in. Zahra is putting a lot of effort into making the gallery a success. Ive been to several of her early shows, all successful. At any time she has the work of a handful of artists on display. The artists all have their stories, and Zahra knows them all. Likely something in the gallery that will catch your eye. With a range of price points that are accessible for such quality pieces. Zahra even has a few of her novel pieces on display. Roaming into an art gallery can sometimes be a bit intimidating, but not here. NYC quality space and artwork in a wonderfully gracious place. Visit often pleaseBob · Google
