CAPSULE PREVIEWS

// Capsule Previews, November/December 2025

Looking for a new fall destination? The recently opened Westerly Museum of American Impressionism, 79 Watch Hill Road, Westerly, Rhode Island, features 11 galleries dedicated to American Impressionist art from the 1880s to 1920s. “The collection includes works by celebrated artists such as Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, Edmund Tarbell, Jane Peterson and Lilla Cabot Perry, alongside exceptional works by lesser-known artists whose contributions merit greater recognition.” Longtime Westerly residents Dr. Thomas and Cynthia Sculco collected the approximately 150 paintings on view over four decades. WMAI is currently open Thursday through Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Fifteen previously unseen watercolor paintings by Andrew Wyeth go on view November 1 at the Farnsworth Art Museum, 16 Museum St., Rockland, Maine. The works in “Along the Goose River: Andrew Wyeth’s Secret Subject” were … [Read more...] about CAPSULE PREVIEWS

CAPSULE PREVIEWS

// Capsule Previews, September/October 2025

by Brian Goslow

Drawing from a series of works addressing ideas of impossible architecture, liminal spaces and temporal and spatial distance, “The Long View: Paintings by Marcia Santore” will be on view from September 2 through 30 at the Belknap Mill Museum Riverside Gallery, 25 Beacon Street East, Laconia, New Hampshire. “As someone who has moved many times, both as a child and as an adult, houses seen from within and without, rooms and hallways, doors and windows, and the roads and landscapes seen through and from them have multiple meanings for me,” Santore said. “They are places full of mystery and possibility, suggestive of many potential futures or outcomes.” Inspired by the 22 Major Arcana Tarot cards which represent significant life lessons, archetypes and spiritual themes, stone sculptor Elisa Adams has used Tarot as a tool for inner reflection and a mirror for the soul. Adams challenged … [Read more...] about CAPSULE PREVIEWS

“Smiling Out Loud,” paintings by DaNice D. Marshall “depicting ordinary life with smiles of joy,” opens July 1 at the Hopkinton Center for the Arts, 98 Hayden Rowe St., Hopkinton, Massachusetts. “It is a familiar thread that reminds us that we’re more alike than we are different,” with the viewer invited, quietly, to experience “a moment without words and to feel lighter” as if you were walking into a room full of strangers, “who look at you and smile and you, in return, smile right back, without one word having been spoken.” “Vastness,” abstract paintings, landscapes and textile works by Tarja Cockell, Sandrine Colson, Nan Hockenbury, Suzanne Hodge and Margarita Krylova, opens July 2 with a July 5 reception from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Ave., Lowell, Massachusetts. “Oceans, space, deserts, and the imagination are vast. These artists’ works, realistic to … [Read more...] about Capsule Previews

“Hear, Here,” an exhibition of new works by Ann Steuernagel derived from listening to and working with the natural environment will be on view from May 2 through June 27 at the Gallery at WREN, 2011 Main St., Bethlehem, New Hampshire. “This captivating exhibition highlights Ann’s unique artistic approach, blending alternative photographic processes, sound, and video to evoke the intricate rhythms and gestures of the natural world.” The 13th Biennial “State of Clay,” a juried show and art sale for original, innovative ceramic work by current and former residents of Massachusetts or those with close ties to Massachusetts, runs from May 3 through June 1 in the Molly Harding Nye Gallery at LexArt, 130 Waltham St., Lexington, Massachusetts.

CAPSULE PREVIEWS: MARCH/APRIL 2025

// Capsule Previews, March/April 2025

by Brian Goslow

If you’re stopping by the SoWa Art + Design District, either for March’s First Friday openings or Sunday’s SoWa Artist Guild Open Studios, make sure to check out three new exhibitions running from March 6 through 30 at Galatea Fine Art, 460 Harrison Ave. #B-6, Boston, Massachusetts. Marjorie Kaye’s “Invisible Bursts” combine organic and geometric sensibilities that continues her exploration of an infinite number of patterns in creating sensory sculptures filled with bursts of colors. In “Oh, Ovines!” Carolyn Letvin showcases sheep “in spaces of simple color or no color at all, as in my drawings, letting the shapes of the animals’ bodies, legs and horns create endless compositions. As an observational artist, the animals’ realism is what interests me. But the colors I use are somewhat invented and the paint application is loose and energetic, making my art truly contemporary.” Curators … [Read more...] about CAPSULE PREVIEWS: MARCH/APRIL 2025

2025 begins with a unique fiber art exhibition: “Baylee Schmitt: we settle into corners with the dust and mites” which opens January 3 and continues through February 16 at LaiSun Keane, 460C Harrison Ave. C8A, Boston, Massachusetts. In this show, Baylee Schmitt, who is based in Cincinnati, Ohio, used a series of crocheted objects to recreate her childhood bedroom space that she shared with her twin sister, transforming the gallery, “into a nostalgic and surreal environment, meticulously handcrafting every detail from crochet yarn, including beds, dressers, windows, doors, pillows, a TV, and even a trophy mug. The result is a tactile exploration of memory, family, and the comfort found in familiar physical spaces.” Continuing its long-running tradition, the Copley Society of Art’s New Members Show 2025, which has its opening reception on Thursday, January 9, introduces new artists … [Read more...] about January/February 2025: CAPSULE PREVIEWS
