With a world famous exhibition making its American debut, an artist documenting the lives of seaport workers and another capturing travels and traditions in faraway lands, it's safe to say the artists and exhibitions featured below are clearly out of their element. However, this seems to work to their advantage as they take the strange and the unfamiliar and translate them into works of art that narrate stories of their own.

Travel Journals at Maine Media Gallery
in Rockport, Maine now through November 15th
Featured artwork by Brendan Bullock.
You've most likely heard the term travel journal as it applies to literature: a record of an author's experiences while touring a place for the pleasure of travel. What we gain from these writings are insights into cultures, societies and backgrounds we may not be privy to otherwise. Do the stakes change if the travel journal is not literature, but photography instead? The current solo show artist at Maine Media Gallery would argue no, the stakes do not change. In fact, they may even increase with the presence of both person and lens. Photographer Brendan Bullock's Travel Journals features black and white and color photographs taken in India, Newfoundland, Tanzania and Peru and documents encounters during his travels, from humanitarian projects to the world's largest livestock festival to exploring desolate ghost towns long uninhabited. Using photography as a catalyst for interaction, Bullock's deeply intimate images capture the visual and emotional moments most important to him. On documenting his travels, Bullock says, "I have strongly felt the experiences I have while traveling, and the interactions with those that I encounter, are more important than the pictures." While traveling with his camera, Bullock fully immerses himself in his surroundings. This grants him a keen awareness of sentiment and the perfect measure of pause required to capture the entire experience within the frame of one photograph. Bullock's artistic efforts are clear attempts to preserve and share his moments amongst locals with the world at large. Brendan Bullock received his B.A. in Liberal Arts at St. John's College in 2001. He then moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he worked in fine art galleries while also assisting several fine art and documentary photographers. In 2007, he relocated to Maine. Currently, Bullock is a full-time freelance portrait, editorial and wedding photographer, as well as a nationally exhibiting fine artist. Travel Journals is on view now through Saturday, November 15th at Maine Media Gallery, the same venue where Bullock taught his first solo workshop this year.

Art of Heart
"Imagine Paris as an urban medium," mixed media.
Throughout the month of October (Oct. 6th - 31st), ARTScape @ The Braford Mill presents Imagine More, a solo exhibit, with original artwork by Sandrine
(aka Sanya) Colson-Inam.
"Imagine More" is an exhibit by Sandrine Colson-Inam (aka Sanya). In this exhibit, Sanya invites her viewers to see the invisible out of her work; to make up their own stories and let their mind imagine the end of stories her mixed media or paintings are starting for them. In this series Sanya expresses her personal ideas about emotional expression, resulting in richly textured abstract canvases in various color schemes that incorporate mixed-media elements. The compositions are abstract and emotional, referencing natural forms and movement, filled with bright paint swirls of color, playful paper cut-outs, and three-dimensional objects. An opening reception with the artist will be held at the ARTScape Small Gallery, October 9 from 6-8 p.m.
ARTSCAPE Studios, 2nd floor, 43 Bradford Street,

Portraits of a Working Waterfront at Cape Ann Museum
in Gloucester, Massachusetts October 11th through February 1st, 2015
John Sanfilippo by Jim Hooper, digital inkjet print, 2013. Collection of the Cape Ann Museum. Gift of the photographer, 2014.
Gloucester, Massachusetts is famous for a plethora of things, two of which strike us: it is home to both America's original seaport and the oldest working art colony in North America. The marriage of these two will be taking place in the upcoming exhibition at Cape Ann Museum, Portraits of a Working Waterfront. The exhibit, which is presented in partnership with the Northeast Seafood Coalition, is made up of 75 photographs of men and women who make their livings working in the Gloucester seaport. The images were made by photographer Jim Hooper over an 18-month period and include a wide range of individuals involved in the in-shore and off-shore groundfish fishery and in the shore side businesses which support them. After successfully completing a large community-based portrait in Providence, Rhode Island, Hooper's friend Nonie Brady suggested he tell the story of the people of Gloucester. Hooper himself had always been drawn to the area by the city's famed past and by the determination and spirit of the people who draw their living from the sea today. "Nonie's idea struck a nerve," Hooper explained. "During my youth, I spent a season as first mate and 'puller' on a commercial tuna fishing boat in the Pacific. This formative experience gave me a special appreciation for the men and women who earn their livings from the sea, so the idea of photographing the people of Gloucester's fabled waterfront resonated with me completely." Hooper and a friend packed up his photography studio and moved into a building on Gloucester's Fish Pier where they made over 70 portraits of 150+ members of Gloucester's fishing fleet, a project that resulted in a powerful and thought-provoking portfolio of the people that live the narrative of Gloucester's fishing industry today. Portraits of a Working Waterfront will be on view Saturday, October 11th through Sunday, February 1st at the Cape Ann Museum. A series of educational and outreach programs will be held in conjunction with the exhibition, including an artist talk with Jim Hooper himself on Saturday, November 8th at 2pm at the museum.

Northern Baroque Splendor at Bruce Museum
in Greenwich, Connecticut now through April 12th, 2015
Featured work by Frans Snyders; HOHENBUCHAU COLLECTION, on Permanent Loan to
LIECHTENSTEIN. The Princely Collections, Vienna.
When we say the current exhibition at Bruce Museum is the biggest thing yet, we are not exaggerating in the slightest. One of the largest and most varied collections of Northern Baroque art assembled anywhere in recent decades is presently displayed across multiple galleries at the Bruce. The Hohenbuchau Collection was gathered by Otto Christian and Renate Fassbender and has been on long-term loan to the Collections of the Prince of Liechtenstein in Vienna. The selective showing of The Hohenbuchau Collection at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich is the show's inaugural venue in the United States. Primarily composed of Dutch and Flemish seventeenth-century paintings, the collection exhibits all the naturalism, visual integrity and technical brilliance for which those schools are famous. While many modern collections of Old Masters specialize in a single style or subject matter, The Hohenbuchau Collection is admired for offering examples of virtually all the genres produced by Lowland artists: history painting, portraiture, genre, landscapes, seascapes, still lifes and flower pieces, animal paintings and hunting scenes. When describing the collection, Executive Director of the Bruce Museum and organizer of the exhibition Peter C. Sutton said, "Particularly unique to the collection are the number of individual paintings executed by more than one artist, working in collaboration. Netherlandish artists tended to specialize, whether in figures, landscapes or still lifes, but they were not averse to collaboration." Dr. Sutton also promises the show will surprise connoisseurs and newcomers alike, with the rich diversity of size, format and subject within each genre, as well as a few only known signed pictures by several artists. Northern Baroque Splendor is on view now through Sunday, April 12th, 2015, granting you enough time to see it once, twice, or more, depending on the demands of your artistic appetite. The Bruce Museum will also host an international symposium in October as an educational programming complement to the Northern Baroque Splendor exhibition. It will feature some of the world's foremost authorities on Old Master Paintings, Dutch and Flemish Art and The Hohenbuchau Collection, including Frederik J. Duparc, Christopher Brown, Walter A. Liedtke and Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr., as well as the Museum's own Dr. Sutton. The conference will provide an interactive forum for an open exchange of knowledge and expertise among these leaders and the general public. This complementary international symposium will be held at the Bruce on Saturday, October 25th from 10am-4:30pm.
