Nineteen of the Monadnock Region’s most talented artists have combined to translate their favorite poems into a dazzling exhibit of paintings, prints, collage, glass, ceramics and much more. The exhibit is titled 2D or Not 2D: Art Inspired by Poetry and it arrives just in time for Holiday viewing and gifting at the Sharon Arts Downtown Galleries in Depot Square.
The artists are members of two popular local cooperatives
The Left Bank has eight participating members:
- Evelien Bachrach Seeger
- Sue Callihan
- Kim Cunningham
- Scott Cunningham
- David Dodge
- Soosen Dunholter
- John Sirois
- Daniel Thibeault
Each is well-known in the Monadnock Region for their unique styles and together they create a wide range of work, both abstract and representational.
The Three Squared cooperative artists include
- Kitty Cloud,
- Leah Kristin Dahlgren,
- Lulu Fichter,
- Marcia Herson,
- Erick Ingraham,
- Jordana Korsen,
- Jane El Simpson,
- Collete Lucas,
- Thomas Meyers,
- Erin Sweeney
- Pashya White.
This is a diverse group that puts together a show acclaimed for its quality and variety of creative vision.
A series of educational events is planned to coincide with the exhibit. The series kicks-off with the Left Bank Artist Walk and Talk on Thursday, November 18th from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m. Also planned is a Three Squared Artist Walk and Talk on Wednesday, December 8th from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m.
Students from the Art and English Departments at ConVal High School will partner with exhibiting artists by attending the opening reception; visiting the studio of one of the artists; writing a poem inspired by artworks included in the exhibit; and creating an art piece inspired by a classmate’s poem.
The project will conclude with a public reading of poems on Wednesday, December 15th from 5:00 – 6:30 p.m.
The exhibit will be at the Sharon Arts Center through December 31st. For further information, call (603) 924-7676.
Just curious… where is this photo from? It is clearly NOT the Sharon Arts gallery….
You are correct. That photo is NOT from the Sharon Arts Gallery. It’s just a random generic photo that we pulled off Google Images to represent the event. Good eye though, we will have to take a trip over this week and see if we can’t snap a few quick shots of the inside of the actual gallery for future posts. Thanks for the comment.
