Violence Transformed Exhibitions at Multiple Locations
"Make Way for Ducklings," Hope Ricciardi & Dominick Takis
Violence Transformed is currently holding several art exhibitions in galleries throughout the Boston area. Violence Transformed is an annual series of visual and performing arts events that is currently in its twelfth year. Coordinator of Performing Arts Hope Ricciardi explains that Violence Transformed's exhibits "specialize in art addressing violence in the community." Said community can be almost anything. For example, there will be a closing reception tomorrow, March 23 at 5:00pm - 7:00pm for "Guns and Gun Violence: Too Many, Too Close," an exhibition at the Town Commons Gallery at Cambridge College about the impact of guns on American life. Currently on view through April 28 is "Women Against Violence: Resistance and Resilience" at Lesley University's Marran Gallery, an exhibition that uses art to address violence against women. From April 2 through June 4 is "Violence Transformed: STAND UP" at Harriet Tubman House, which responds to violence in local, national, and international communities across political, racial, religious, and other boundaries. From April 9 through April 22, "Ubuntu Today: The Youth Speak" will be showing at Towne Art Gallery at Wheelock College. This exhibition is part of an ongoing initiative of the Youth Justice and Advocacy Undergraduate Program at Wheelock College and was created in collaboration with the youth programs in the Ubuntu Arts Youth Project. All of these exhibitions urge the viewer to consider the effects of violence in their own communities as well as consider what they can do to begin mitigating those effects. For more information on Violence Transformed and its exhibitions for March and April, please visit violencetransformed.com/events.

"Gun Country" at Addison Gallery of American Art
in Andover, Massachusetts through July 31
John G. Ellinwood, Coon Hunters, c. 1895, toned gelatin silver print, 7 1/2" x 9 3/16", museum purchase, 1979.19
Addison Gallery of American Art is featuring "Gun Country" from now until July 31. This exhibition looks at representations of firearms in the Addison's own collection as a way of analyzing the historical origins of America's fascination with guns, one that persists into the modern era. Presented in the Museum Learning Center, "Gun Country" is organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art and curated by Stephanie Sparling Williams, Assistant Curator and Visiting Scholar. It is accompanied by "Speaking of Guns," a sound art installation created in collaboration with Phillips Academy students. The objects in "Gun Country" are being shown together for the first time, inviting discussion on the cultural significance of guns in America and how it has remained strong through the years. In a time when guns are a pervasive and sometimes polarizing topic of discussion in America, "Gun Country" is a timely examination of how it all began. Addison Gallery of American Art is located on the campus of Phillips Academy at the corner of Route 28 [Main Street] and Chapel Avenue in Andover, Massachusetts Tuesday - Saturday 10:00am - 5:00pm, and Sunday 1:00pm - 5:00pm. The museum is closed on Mondays, national holidays, December 24, and the month of August. Admission to all exhibitions and events is free. The Addison Gallery also offers free education programs for teachers and groups. For more information, call 978-749-4015, or visit the website at addison.andover.edu/Exhibitions/GunCountry.
