Summer Members Show

Summer Member Show

June 22 – August 4

The Marblehead Arts Association features the work of its Artist Members for the height of the summer season. With multiple galleries of MAA juried artist members, there is something for everyone. This show will be up during the Marblehead Festival of Arts on July 4th weekend, so stop by the beautiful MAA Hooper Mansion galleries at 8 Hooper Street, Marblehead if you are in Town for the festival.

Lovely works of art in every style and medium are on display. My painting in the exhibit is King’s Beach Lights, acrylic paint on stretched canvas, 16″x20″. One very dark night while driving along the Lynn/Swampscott shore, I was inspired by the lights shimmering on the gently rippling waves. I pulled over, took a photo, and went home to paint it.

To have a private online sneak peek of the exhibit, go to maacurrent-exhibits.square.site where my painting is displayed on page five. marbleheadarts.org

In addition to the art show galleries, Marblehead Arts Association also has a wonderful Artisan Shop full of original hand-made creations by the members: paintings, prints, note cards, ceramics, textiles, jewelry, and more. A perfect one-stop shopping spot!

Artisan Shop — Marblehead Arts Assoc.

Sheila

I am honored to have been chosen to exhibit my New England paintings and Celtic style drawings at the Artisan Shop of the Marblehead Arts Assoc. from November until mid-January. Also on display are matted prints of my paintings and mini paintings with their own wee easels. (Shown: Boston Light, acrylic 4″ x 12″, gallery wrapped canvas.)

Seven to eight MAA members display 20-25 pieces of affordable art for sale on a three month rotating schedule. All merchandise is juried, keeping in mind price points under $260 per piece as well as  quality craftsmanship and professional finish. With the entire shop being refreshed four times a year to feature all new work by new artists/artisans; there is always a reason to stop by and see what is available for sale. Each artist/artisan has an interesting story behind their work and their craft that our gallery associates enjoy sharing with buyers. These pieces are one of a kind affordable works of art that make great gifts and cannot be found elsewhere!

Come check out the new assortment often to find something unique for a birthday, graduation, wedding or holiday present. The Artisan Shop is located at 8 Hooper St., Marblehead, MA.
