Art making is often a solitary process. Having a community such as exists on Cape Ann is especially important for the growth of creativity. The strength of that community is exemplified in the relationships between artists who exist across generations, where dialogues cross boundaries, and artists focus on commonalities of process regardless of age. These artists have found these commonalities, recognizing in each other a similar spark.
This exhibition will explore how Cape Ann functions like an ecosystem: continually bringing in new life and experience that revitalizes the creative community. Each of these artists represents a different stage of this cycle.
The public is invited to celebrate the creativity of the artists at the Opening Reception on Thursday, June 22, from 4-7 PM. The artists will discuss their work on Thursday, July 13 from 6-7 PM.
Exhibiting Artists:
Chris Barensfeld, Jeffrey Marshall, Vanessa Michalak, Ruth Mordecai
