The Laker published a wonderful article about the Gallery
The lakes gallery at chi-lin features fine contemporary New England and Asian art through online exhibitions and in an intimate gallery space. After 30 years in Meredith in 2015 it relocated to the 1780 farmhouse with beautiful old gardens where the gallery originally began in 1981.
The new gallery space opened in 2017 with four exhibits across New Hampshire of Helen Nicolay,
daughter of John Nicolay, Lincoln’s Secretary. Her oils and watercolors were featured at the Fells,
the Holderness Historical Society, the Nicolay home in Holderness and the Holderness School.
Since then, with the exception of 2020, chi-lin has offered a selection of both large and intimate pieces for commercial spaces and lakeside homes within a setting of fine vernacular Asian antiques and collectibles. Rotating exhibits of contemporary art are offered during the season.
The gallery is open by appointment in the winter, January—March, featuring new art and artists.
Regular hours begin in the spring, expanding as the summer begins with regular exhibits
over the summer and fall.
Intimate book and poetry readings are held in a beautiful traditional dinning room or outdoors.
Small workshops in calligraphy and nature studies are held in the studio
where professional calligraphy services are available.
