Annual Members' Show at Arsenal Center for the Arts
in Watertown, Massachusetts now through August 23rd
Blue Arrow by Susan Bregman.
It's that time of year again where Arsenal Center for the Arts opens its gallery doors to the biggest exhibition of the year. That's right, the Annual Members' Show is here and has a lot to offer. Featuring 68 artists, the Members' Show is the Arsenal Center's longest-running, largest and most-applied-to exhibition each year, drawing a large percentage of new members eager to show their work. This juried exhibition is open to all members of the center and showcases a large variety of work in 2D and 3D forms. This year, the show features colorful collages, drawings, prints, photographs, paintings, sculpture and mixed media creations. The works range from the finely-drawn quirky Pen & Doodle Series by Carolyn Bensinger to Richard Hill's large-scale acrylic take on Paul Bunyan sitting down to breakfast in the great outdoors with Johnny Appleseed, humorously entitled: At Least We Can All Agree on Flapjacks. Other featured artists evoke the subtle, flowing movement of a dancer in Water & Rust/Horizontal Movement ( Alice Leigh Faramarzapour), the weathered wood of a Concord Barn in Ruth Nelson's tangibly close photo printed on archival paper or an abstract burst of energy in brightly colored up-strokes in Cindy Cuba Clements' Finally Spring. Members' Show is on view now through Friday, August 23rd in both the 1st and 2nd Floor Galleries. Events at the Center are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, Noon to 6pm, open later on show nights. ArsenalARTS programs and exhibitions are sponsored in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

East Meets West at Blue Water Fine Arts
in Port Clyde, Maine now through August 31st
Old School by Barbara Ernst Prey, watercolor, 22" x 28".
The doors of Blue Water Fine Arts have already opened for an internationally acclaimed artist. Considered one of the most significant painters of our time, Barbara Ernst Prey is showcasing a compelling collection of forty never before seen watercolors, dry-brush and oil paintings in her exhibition, East Meets West. This show continues Prey's exploration and documentation of Eastern and Western landscapes and society's complex relationship with the environment. The monumental paintings featured in this exhibit take a new direction, continuing the tradition of American landscape paintings and pioneering a path for the contemporary concerns for the environment and exploring new terrain. Of her vision and mission, Prey said, "My commissions with NASA, a Fulbright scholarship and my work on the advisory board of the National Endowment for the Arts have given me a global appreciation of the world and the necessity and importance of our responsibility as stewards." Her experimental and imaginative paintings examine the urgency of open spaces. The exhibition also includes paintings from Prey's year as a Luce Scholar in Asia and the American West. The exhibit fills the 100-year-old former Village Inn and is dedicated to the memory of S. Lane Faison, Prey's mentor at Williams College and dean of the "Williams Art Mafia," of which she is perhaps the last student. East Meets West takes to a new level Prey's virtuosic ability to observe, study and capture her environment. It is on view now through Saturday, August 31st at Blue Water Fine Arts. An opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, August 1st from 6-8pm.

Curves at Kingston Gallery
in Boston, Massachusetts now through July 28th
Curves, 5 by Rachel Thern, 2012, oil pastel and ink on illustration board, 24" x 20".
The solo exhibition currently on view at Kingston Gallery is one you won't want to miss. They have opened the doors of their Center Gallery to artist Rachel Thern and her exhibition, Curves. In her featured body of work, Thern hones in on curved lines through intuition and organic gestures. She also works to incorporate mathematical curves as they reflect in natural phenomena and living organisms. Her paintings can be seen as a visual exploration through these repetitions and interactions, as well as representations of instinctive movement. Of her process, Thern said the following: "I usually work with oil pastel because of the versatility of the medium. My current process begins with laying a smooth layer of color and then covering it with another layer of a darker color, I scrape and rub through the darker surface, while also adding new layers of color on top, in order to work in both an additive and subtractive manner." In other words, the process of painting itself is important to the creation of her images. Thern has been an Associate Member of Kingston Gallery for two years and mounted an extremely successful exhibit, Rings/Coronae, last year in the Members' Gallery. Though born and educated on the east coast, Thern has traveled to China and spent time living in San Diego, California. She currently lives in Western Massachusetts. Curves is on view now through Sunday, July 28th at Kingston Gallery. Special Public Relations Hours will take place on Wednesday, July 24th from 2-4pm.
