“We pulled this together rather quickly,” Robert Flower, marketing strategist, tells me while we sit in the center of Mad Rose Gallery, located on the corner of North Elm and Main Street in Millerton, NY. The gallery space was leased in May, and a little less than three months later, Mad Rose had their official opening on July 29.

It’s only appropriate that the first featured artist is also the owner, Kerry Madigan.

MILLERTON — Roughly 70 people showed up on Saturday, July 29, some in the midst of a raging rainstorm that left part of the village without power until mid-Sunday, to celebrate the opening of a show of the work of lifelong photographer Kerry Madigan, owner, with husband Neal Rosenthal, of Mad Rose Gallery.
