GALA (The Galleries at LynnArts) is sponsoring an Autumn Member Show at their beautiful downtown Lynn Galleries, and my painting has been juried in! Come down to the Opening Reception on Friday evening November 1, 2024 and it is open to the public. As always, there will be lovely refreshments and music. A donation is requested to help GALA continue its work of showcasing the work of local artists. This exhibit will run until December 13, 2024.
My painting, Pumpkin Delivery (acrylic on canvas, 8″ x 10″) was painted on location at Russell Orchards, Ipswich, MA. Shown is a picture of me taken by a professional photographer passing through (probably on his way to nab a delicious cider donut!). I belong to a group of plein air painters who gather weekly at various lovely Cape Ann locations to enjoy the fresh air and paint the scene. We were so engaged with Russell Orchards that we went there three weeks in a row. And I painted this adorable red truck every time! I couldn’t get enough of it filled to the brim with ripe orange pumpkins.
The Galleries at LynnArts (GALA) is a Collaborative Nonprofit Art Gallery led by local artists and creatives. GALA supports artists at all career stages, offering artistic practice development, professional presentation, and exhibition opportunities. Our organization promotes and sells artwork, honors diverse makers, and supports the whole artist through skills growth, well-being, and fostering a healthy art community. We feature group and solo exhibitions as well as a gallery shop showcasing North Shore artists and makers. By providing safe spaces, economic opportunities, engaging receptions and events, and partnering with local organizations, GALA brings people together to connect and grow.
I hope you can come by the GALA at 25 Exchange St., Lynn, MA to enjoy the work of local member artists!
