GENERATIONS is an exhibition of artists from different generations who continue the legacy of painting on Cape Ann.
Art making is often a solitary process. Having a community such as exists on Cape Ann is especially important for the growth of creativity. The strength of that community is exemplified in the relationships between artists who exist across generations, where dialogues cross boundaries, and artists focus on commonalities of process regardless of age. These artists have found these commonalities, recognizing in each other a similar spark.
This exhibition will explore how Cape Ann functions like an ecosystem: continually bringing in new life and experience that revitalizes the creative community. Each of these artists represents a different stage of this cycle.
Exhibition Artists: Ruth Mordecai, Jeffrey Marshall, Chris Barensfeld, and Vanessa Michalak
