Mimi Graminskis' Logs and Lace offers collectors the opportunity to create their own unique installation. Selected log sections from the outdoor work are available, with prices starting at $300–500 per piece, depending on the length selected (shorter cuts for wall-mounted presentations, and longer sections for freestanding sculptural installations). We encourage collectors to select a grouping of logs and preferred cut lengths, and we are happy to work with you to compose an arrangement that can be professionally installed as either a wall-mounted work or a freestanding sculpture. Mimi is also available to create site-specific commissions for homes, gardens, and public spaces.

Expanded Field is presented as part of Upstate Art Weekend, the annual Hudson Valley–wide celebration of contemporary art, culture, and open exhibitions.
Front Room Gallery will host guided tours and walk-throughs of both the outdoor and indoor works, allowing visitors to engage directly with the artists and the dialogue between the spaces.
Kingston’s vibrant arts community makes it an ideal location for this exhibition. Through EXPANDED FIELD, Front Room Gallery presents ambitious, site-responsive work and offers visitors a dynamic encounter with contemporary sculpture, while strengthening connections across the Hudson Valley arts community.
