Southampton - On Saturday, November 26, Tripoli Paterson will open the Thanksgiving Collective 2011 at the Tripoli Gallery in Southampton, featuring the works of Michael Chiarello, Eric Freeman, Félix Bonilla Gerena, Melanie J. Moczarski, John Ross Rist, and Darius Yektai.

Premiering with his debut art exhibition back in November of 2005, Patterson continues his annual tradition with his 7th annual Thanksgiving group show. By allowing this group show to take its natural course over the years, it has become an annual tradition on the East End, as well as a platform for him to introduce new artists.

In this year's Thanksgiving show, painters Freeman, Gerena, Rist and Yektai will return to the gallery, while debuting at the gallery will be Bridgehampton based sculptor, Chiarello and Brooklyn based painter, Moczarski.

The Thanksgiving Collective 2011 will open with a reception for the artists on Saturday, November 26, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., at the Tripoli Gallery, 30 Jobs Lane, Southampton (opposite The Parrish Art Museum).
