Orbs: The Veil is Lifting at Berta Walker Gallery
in Provincetown, Massachusetts May 25th through June 17th
Yellow Bubble by Robert Henry, 1998, oil on canvas, 38" x 30".
With spiritual beliefs aside, it is hard to deny the certain energy an orb possesses. Whether they are ghosts or simply spherical bodies, these shapes still encircle and enclose both mood and ardor. Berta Walker Gallery is harnessing this same energy as they launch their 2012 season with a new exhibition, Orbs: The Veil is Lifting. This exhibition features a variety of artists and their crafts that offer different perspectives on the shape of the orb. Included in the exhibit are thirty photographs, all of which document orbs as they appear in our normal environments. Also featured in the show is a combination of over fifty paintings, sculptures and drawings that incorporate orbs in new and exciting ways, such as roles as the sun and moon, random globes of color floating in Giobbi's stillifes, and tondos, like the all-knowing eye in Boghosian's tondo, the dimensions of crystals in Jo Mooy's tondos, and "The World Flag" designed by the late Harvey Dodd. His flag includes a single circle of stars that represent all the seasons in the world. Dodd designed the flag in 2000 and it has flown outside the Berta Walker Gallery ever since. A photo of Harvey Dodd holding the flag will also be included in the exhibition in memory of his unmatched creative spirit that was always focused on the good of all mankind. Orbs: The Veil is Lifting will be on view tomorrow, Friday, May 25th through Sunday, June 17th. It is showing in conjunction with Nancy Whorf: A Passionate Palette to kick off the season right in P-town.

GESTURES
PAINTINGS BY JO-ANN BOBACK
According to Webster, a GESTURE is a form of
non-verbal communication in which bodily actions
communicate messages in place of speech.
I see my work as a means of dialogue.
This body of work dances between experience and imagination.
Thru many strokes and gestures I seek to
engage a conversation with the viewer.

Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay at Art Complex Museum
in Duxbury, Massachusetts May 27th through August 19th
Square Tebachi by Richard Bresnahan, Johanna kiln, glaze chamber, stoneware with navy-bean straw ash glaze. Reed handle by Andy Juelich, 2008.
At the end of this month, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, Massachusetts will have the privilege of hosting the nationally touring exhibition, Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay. This exhibition is centered around the notion of respect for both material and the environment and celebrates thirty years of Saint John's Pottery. It will feature ceramic work by Artist-in-Residence, Richard Bresnahan and four of his former apprentices: Kevin Flicker, Stephen Earp, Samuel Johnson and Anne Meyer. Since 1980, Saint John's Pottery has evolved as a dynamic collaboration between Saint John's University and "master potter" Richard Bresnahan. It embodies "the Benedictine values of community, hospitality and self-sufficiency as well as the university's commitment to the integration of art and life; the preservation of the environment; the linkage between work and worship; and the celebration of diverse cultures." St. John's Pottery aims to engage individuals from all backgrounds in discipline, creation and respect. Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay will be on view Sunday, May 27th through Sunday, August 19th. A reception is scheduled for June 10th from 1:30-3:30pm during which Richard Bresnahan and Dr. Matthew Welch, Curator of the exhibit, will speak. This exhibition displays a surging dialogue between clay and fire, creating poetry with pottery in a way you won't want to miss.

CSA: Community Supporting Arts at Harlow Gallery
in Hallowell, Maine now through October 2012
Artist Kate Barnes mid-collaboration with her partner CSA Farms, Grassland Organic.
In the arts community, we talk a lot about support, collaboration and compromise. It's easy to get a general idea as to what this means, but we've found a place that is really putting it into action. Harlow Gallery in Hallowell, Maine has taken the initiative to launch a campaign designed to bring the vibrant, idealistic communities of arts and farming together. The project, CSA: Community Supporting Arts, has partnered 14 artists with 13 local Community Supported Agriculture farms. These creative collaborations will then work together to give voice and image to farms in the state of Maine that are already full of so much character. The campaign aims to raise $3,000 by July 1, 2012. The Harlow Gallery invites the public to invest in a 'share' of Community Supporting Arts through this grassroots internet fundraising tool; art and farm related
perks are available to project supporters at various giving levels. Please click here to visit the campaign, find out more information and make a pledge. CSA: Community Supporting Arts organizers believe that artists can use the power of their artistic talents to effect social change. The artists have begun to observe and find inspiration in the farmers' lives, jobs, landscapes, challenges and ideals and are working to create the art that will pioneer change. The public can follow their progress by visiting the project blog site or clicking here. Artwork by all the participating artists will be exhibited at the Harlow Gallery in October 2012. Additional exhibitions focusing on select artist/farmer pairs will take place at partner venues between November 2012 and February 2013, including Common Street Gallery in Waterville, Frontier Cafe Gallery in Brunswick, Maine Farmland Trust Art Gallery, Savory Maine Dining & Provisions in Damariscotta and the art gallery at Sheepscot General at Uncas Farms, with additional venues to be announced soon.
