In this article, Rhode Island correspondent Suzanne Volmer provides a preview of what to expect and how some New England galleries are preparing for this year’s festivities.)

Welcome
Welcome to artscope magazine’s final issue of 2015, an issue we’re proud to be sending to Art Basel Miami Beach, where it will be exhibited and available in the Collective Booth. Any expanded issue is a challenging enterprise for our editorial staff, even more so with the responsibility of putting New England’s visual arts community in front of a national and inter- national art audience and collector base. As was the case this past June at Art Basel Switzerland, artscope will be in attendance at Miami Beach. I encourage you to download our “artscope Universe” mobile app that surveys all of our social media offerings in one place on your smartphone, iPad or reading tablet so that you don’t miss a post. You can get it in your App Store or on Google Play. With our attention firmly on Miami Beach, Suzanne Volmer talked to a cross- section of regional galleries, artists and collectors … [Read more...] about Welcome

Welcome
Welcome to our July/August issue; while it took longer than usual for temperatures to reach the level that causes New Englanders to abandon their spring (and in some cases, winter) clothing, as June took hold, crowds started to fill the streets of summer resort and vacation locations throughout the region. We received wonderful feedback on our May/June issue’s extended wanderlust presentations; you’ll find the second half of our New England art road trip suggestions in the pages ahead: Jamie Thompson runs down the galleries along Maine’s Coastal Route 1 in Freeport, Brunswick and Bath; J. Fatima Martins introduces you to Northern Connecticut’s not-so “Quiet Corner,” while further south, Kristin Nord visits the state’s midcoastal region; and Alexandra Tursi gives you a series of reasons to spend a good part of August in Vermont’s Mad River Valley. It’s no surprise why so much of the … [Read more...] about Welcome
Capsule Previews
by Brian Goslow Eight members of the Rocky Neck Art Colony (Matt Cegelis, Elynn Kroger, Sinikka Nogelo, Regina Piantedosi, Rosella Sagall, Ruth Schneider, Martha Swanson and Heidi Zander) are among 18 New England artists selected by juror Al Miner, assistant curator of contemporary art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to participate in the “A Fine Line: Drawings and Other Interpretations” exhibition that is being held from July 3 through August 3 at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, 3 Wonson Street, Gloucester, Mass. “Of the mediums represented on these walls, digital techniques are used to interesting and dramatic effect, but digital art is far from predominant here,” Miner noted. “The same can be said for sculpture. In fact, even paint, used here with skill, proved less popular than pen, pencil and pastel. The simultaneous simplicity and versatility of line is beautifully … [Read more...] about Capsule Previews
