SUMMARY:VASTNESS | July 2 – 27\, 2025| Reception on Saturday July 5\, 3 - 5 pm | Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Loading Dock Gallery\n122 Western Avenue\nLowell\, MA\nShow: Vastness\nShow dates: July 2 – 27\, 2025\nOpening Reception: July 5 from 3-5 pm \nOpening July 2nd\, this show features abstract paintings\, landscapes\, and textile works from Tarja Cockell\, Sandrine Colson\, Nan Hockenbury\, Suzanne Hodge\, Margarita Krylova.\n“Vastness” means immensity or hugeness. Oceans\, space\, deserts\, and the imagination are vast. These artists’ works\, realistic to abstract\, interpret the theme Vastness. The artwork curated in this exhibition speaks to the nature of wide spaces and reach beyond the gallery’s windows to take our imaginations to limitless horizons.\nTarja Cockell has a degree in textile and design. Her work is influenced by the Scandinavian style of simplicity and clean lines.\nSandrine Colson is a storyteller. Her work is filled with paint swirls\, paper cut-outs\, acrylic pouring and three-dimensional objects. Her inspiration is the human soul\, nature\, master artists\, and the world around us.\nNan Hockenbury works with acrylic or oil paints\, pastels\, oil bars\, or any drawing medium on canvas or paper. Her themes are about nature\, herself\, or more powerful women. Her paintings record the scene but rely on color and arrangements to express her feelings during the moment of creation.\nSuzanne Hodge is a Boston area-based oil painter whose favorite subject is cityscapes or landscapes. Her work often evokes a feeling of mystery and possibility that are the inspiration for many of her art pieces.\nMargarita Krylova sees the world as a magical place. Her work lives in this grey area between the real and the imagined – in memories\, coincidences\, associations. Margarita sees nature as a means for soul-searching.\nThe Loading Dock Gallery show\, Vastness\, will be on display July 2 – 27\, 2025 at the Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, Lowell\, MA  More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501c3.

SUMMARY:Weaving An Address - Curator Tour and Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to a free program exploring The Umbrella Arts Center’s outdoors public art ramble\, Weaving an Address\, a site-specific exhibition of work by prominent Black artists commemorating colonial-era Black residents of Concord’s famed Walden Woods. \nOn Saturday\, July 19 at 3PM\, curator and artist Marla McLeod will lead a guided tour of the artwork installed at Brister’s Hill in Walden Woods\, named for Brister Freeman\, an enslaved man who won his freedom by serving in the Revolutionary War and then bought the property and lived there along with other formerly enslaved before Thoreau. \nThe tour will be followed at 4:30PM by refreshments and a panel discussion back at The Umbrella Arts Center (40 Stow Street\, Concord\, MA) with McLeod in dialogue with historian Elise Lemire\, author of Black Walden: Slavery and Its Aftermath in Concord\, Massachusetts\, who was recently a subject of the new international documentary\, Concord’s Secret History\, just released on over 500 PBS stations. Saturday’s discussion will examine the “journey from archive to art\,” and Lemire’s scholarly research that fueled Weaving’s creative installations. \nPart of the town’s Revolution250 celebrations\, this program is co-presented by The Umbrella Arts Center\, The Walden Woods Project and The Robbins House: Concord’s African American History Museum. It featured work by artists Sharon Chandler Correnty\, Ifé Franklin\, Stephen Hamilton\, Whitney Harris\, Ekua Holmes\, Perla Mabel\, Marla McLeod\, Kimberly Love Radcliffe\, and Anthony Peyton Young. \nLearn more at https://theumbrellaarts.org/weaving
