SUMMARY:Six Ways of Seeing the World
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Gabrielle Rossmer\nExhibit Dates: July 10 – August 3\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, July 10\, 5-7pm\nClosing Event & Artist Talks: Thursday\, July 31\, 5-7pm\nThe Cove Gallery\, 37 Rocky Neck\, Gloucester\nExhibit Hours: Thursday-Saturday\, 12-7pm; Sunday-Monday\, 12-5pm \nFeaturing: Kathy Archer\, Paul Cary Goldberg\, Donald Gropman\, Sonya Gropman\, Gabrielle Rossmer\, and Constance Vallis \nIn a time marked by uncertainty and transformation\, six artists come together to explore how art can serve as both personal expression and cultural reflection. Six Ways of Seeing the World\, curated by Gabrielle Rossmer\, offers a compelling look at how visual art helps us process\, respond to\, and shape our understanding of the contemporary world. \nThrough diverse media—painting\, photography\, sculpture\, drawing\, and collage—these six artists examine the intersections of inner life and external forces. While their approaches and mediums vary\, they share a commitment to introspection\, craft\, and a meaningful engagement with today’s fractured landscape. \nTogether\, these artists demonstrate six unique but interconnected ways of seeing. Their works push the boundaries of their chosen media\, reflecting on today’s world with vulnerability\, insight\, and artistic rigor.
