Ask Gallery One

To celebrate artist Dean Morrissey’s holiday appearance, Gallery One has a gift for ALL kids age 12 and under who draw a Trundle and bring it to his show!!

Gallery One Announces

the GREAT TRUNDLE TRADE-IN!

What’s a Trundle, you ask?

A Trundle is a colorful little creature that hides in plain sight. (You probably have a Trundle or two living in your own house and don’t even know it.) According to Dean Morrissey, “Their purpose is a good one. They quietly go about helping their host in many ways. They sweep up in the middle of the night, secretly finish up bookkeeping, haul firewood and repair broken windows and leaky pipes. They are very appreciative of their hosts and become indispensable after a while. Very few people have actually seen a Trundle although many people have them as boarders.”

ASK yourself – have you ever:

Lost something and searched your entire house, only to spot it easily a short time later? (You have a Trundle.)
Gone to the fridge for a snack and found a BRAND-NEW jar of peanut butter inside? (Further evidence of Trundles…)
Discovered a garment on the closet floor instead of on the hanger where you left it? (Irrefutable proof that a Trundle fashion show has taken place…)
Found only one sock in the dryer instead of the pair? (Sounds like your Trundle needed a sleeping bag for camp. Not to worry, your sock will be returned soon…)

If you are age 12 or younger, draw a picture of a Trundle and tell us how you know for sure that you have one in your house. (Hint: Did he finish your homework or fold your clothes while you slept?)

Rules for the GREAT TRUNDLE TRADE-IN:

You must be age 12 or younger
Your drawing should be no larger than 8-1/2” x 11”
Bring your Trundle drawing to Gallery One on Friday, December 7, between 7 and 9 p.m., OR Saturday, December 8, between 1 and 5 p.m.

We will proudly display your drawing AND GIVE YOU a Trundle print created and hand-signed by artist Dean Morrissey!

What better time to recognize the countless contributions of our Trundles than the holiday season? (Shown are some Trundles who live in Dean Morrissey’s house.) Be sure to see Dean’s latest art including NEW Trundle paintings during his show!
