Trolley Barn Gallery

The Trolley Barn Gallery is thrilled to showcase Kimmah Dennis' new work "Echoes of Presence", created during her current residency with the American Academy in Rome. This exclusive work is currently on view for “The Duo Show” through November 8th.

Born amid the chaos of the first Liberian war, Kimmah’s work reflects deeply personal narratives of government abuses, forced child recruitment, and her harrowing escape. Through a fusion of inherited memories and her encounters with mobility, displacement, and assimilation, she explores diverse visual languages—painting, drawing, collage, and installation.

Kimmah's artistic vision breaks free from the confines of a single medium, merging traditional and contemporary forms into a cohesive expression of resilience and storytelling. We feel lucky to have her work displayed right here in the heart of the Hudson Valley.

Gallery hours are Thursdays & Fridays 2–5pm and Saturdays from 12–4pm. We look forward to seeing you there soon!

You’re invited - this Thursday, 10/10! The Duo Show divides the Trolley Barn Gallery into two powerful exhibitions from and .ferrer .

With mentorship and collaboration from guest curator, , the ’s Curatorial Assistant of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Youth Arts Empowerment Zone (YAEZ) Curators selected artists whose works explore the collective experience of diaspora - the uprooting and scattering of people from their native lands.

Two solo shows displayed in conversation, ask questions of each other and their viewers - prompting exploration of how themes of childhood, displacement, and hope collide and blossom.

We can’t wait to see you for the opening reception this Thursday, 10/10 from 6-8pm at the Trolley Barn Gallery, 489 Main St, Poughkeepsie. This show is free and open to the public!
