springfield
                   "Le Carnevale", David Jones

The Whistler House Museum of Art hosts their annual 2016 Fall Juried Members Exhibition now through January 21, 2017. The show features works from 110 artists from the Lowell Art Association, Inc. with varying style, subject matter and mediums. Jurors Glenn Szegedy and Lynne B. Mehlman critiqued over 250 submissions based on technique, composition, perspective and originality and ultimately selected 70 works to include in the show. The works range from photographs, sculptures and paintings and include works from varying perspectives that make the Fall Juried Members Exhibition truly unique. Artists include David Jones, Art Ferrier, Lisa Kovvuri, Martha Wolfe and William Galvez, among many others. The difference in artworks make the collection intriguing to any visitor. Lisa KovvuriDavid Jones creates more abstract pieces with bright, bold colors. Martha Wolfe captures works similar to impressionism with softer edges and more subdued tones and Art Ferrier uses photography to capture poetic moments in every day life. Sara Bogosian, President and Executive Director of the gallery, notes "We were overwhelmed and impressed by the number of fine works that were submitted.. I believe our viewing audience will be intrigued and elated by the range of works that are a part of this exciting exhibition." The 2016 Fall Juried Members Exhibition is on view at the Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, Massachusetts now through January 21 with an opening reception on Saturday, November 19 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information click here.

"Fall Trees" by Dave Kaphammer, pastel on paper

Francesca Anderson Fine Art hosts 52 artists during their current exhibition. The 32nd Annual Almost Miniatures Show is on view now through January 14 in Lexington, Massachusetts and features many artists who work in different styles. It's never too early to begin looking for unique holiday gifts and Francesca Anderson Fine Art hosts an opening reception tonight, Thursday November 17, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and invites viewers to experience the gallery and immerse themselves in the holiday joy. The pieces shown range from abstract, impressionist and digital art. The gallery has recently revamped their layout and design in order to make the art stand out more dramatically. Over 200 small paintings and prints are on display throughout two floors of the gallery and each artist, whether new or returning, brings something different to an overall cohesive show. Artists from across the country exhibit their work, from Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Oregon and elsewhere. Featured artist Dave Kaphammer works primarily in pastels in order to create impressionist details of nature in order to capture the beauty and personality, Will Sillin works with watercolors to depict realistic sunsets and other nature-scapes and Sirarpi Heghinian Walzer uses mixed media and encaustic to create unique collages. In addition, popular artist Maris Platais will be demonstrating his technique to viewers on Saturday, December 3 in pen, ink and acrylic painting.

Color, Grace and Passion at Three Stones Gallery
in West Concord, Massachusetts through January 13

"Smart Girl 2" by Adria Arch


The Three Stones Gallery is getting into the spirit of the holidays with their holiday show Color, Grace & Passion. On view through January 13, this show is perfect to view with your loved ones on those cold evenings. Color, Grace & Passion features artists Jim McManus, Tim Dunnbier, Siri Smedvig, Adria Arch, Ken Irwin, Marv Goldschmitt, Bob Hale, Gwen Murphy and Toby Kopman. The works include paintings, vintage concert photos, hand-turned wooden bowls, mixed media works and a smaller collection of handmade jewelry and note cards by artists from the area. Owner Jennifer Montgomery Johnston recognizes the depth that comes with the changing of the seasons and the physical darkness of this time of year. "This show is about the richness, beauty and mystery of this darkening time of year, as well as the holiday season.. It's a time we draw inward to appreciate the places and spaces of light, warmth, music and inspiration." The artists' work demonstrates a variety of ideas and emotions. Jim McManus creates abstract pieces meant to convey emotions related to people or experiences where Marv Goldschmitt captures that moment through vintage concert photos of Arlo Guthrie, Leon Russell and Ronnie Earl. Bob Hale has a somewhat more practical approach to art, creating hand-turned wooden bowls both beautiful and functional. In addition to mixed media works by Murphy and Kopman, jewelry and hand made stationary is included in Color, Grace & Passion. Three Stones Gallery hosts an opening reception tonight, Thursday November 17, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. that includes music by award-winning jazz guitarist Steven Kirby.
