While all the work in the exhibition has been created in response to human impact on the environment, in addition, several of the artists have been inspired by expeditions to the Arctic Circle and Greenland and residencies in marine laboratories on Cape Ann and beyond. The seven-week exhibit shows how art can transform the impact and implications of science into something concrete, visible and personal.
The exhibit coincides with a city-wide initiative STAND UP for Art & Science, coordinated by Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute volunteers.

What’s in a Voice, Solo Exhibition with Talya Baharal
What’s In A Voice is a captivating exhibition by artist Talya Baharal, the 2025 GAR Distinguished Artist, that explores her evolving visual language through abstract compositions inspired by the overlooked and unexpected—cracked asphalt, broken ice, tangled wires. These works, created over recent years, reflect her ongoing search for personal voice and meaning through the layered processes of painting, disrupting, and rebuilding.
Using acrylic, ink, collage, and mixed media, Baharal uncovers structure within chaos, revealing beauty in what remains. Each piece emerges from a dialogue between destruction and creation, surface and depth—inviting moments of clarity, emotion, and discovery.
This exhibition is a meditation on remnants, resilience, and the power of uncovering meaning through mark-making. Baharal paints not for perfection, but for moments of truth. In her words: “I paint to feel alive.”

Six Ways of Seeing the World

The Healing of Art
Curated by Rebecca Ann Nagle
The Healing of Art is a thoughtfully curated show explores the four realms of healing—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—through a wide range of media including painting, sculpture, mixed media, and encaustic.
Featuring the work of Ryan Kelley, Judith Brassard Brown, Deborah Gonet, and curator Rebecca Ann Nagle, the exhibition highlights how the creative process itself becomes a path to healing. Working in solitude, each artist draws from the ego, mind, soul, and spirit, channeling personal and collective experiences into powerful visual expressions.
Their work responds to personal surroundings, global events, climate and landscape, and the social and political challenges that shape our lives and communities. Through making, they find a meditative, reparative space—a process that helps to reflect on, process, and heal from trauma or imbalance.
As viewers engage with the artwork, they are invited into this process—connecting to their own stories and struggles. The experience becomes not only personal but also collective: a shared space for empathy, reflection, and renewal.

The Shape of Abstraction: Tracing a Visual Revolution
presented by Adria Arch
Wednesday, June 25, 2025Boston-based artist and educator Adria Arch gave an engaging image-based presentation exploring the language of abstraction in art. This talk traced the evolution of abstract art in Western art history—beginning with early pioneers such as Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky, and Georgia O’Keeffe, through the explosive energy of the Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, and culminated in the work of contemporary artists who continue to redefine and expand abstraction today.
This visually rich presentation traced abstraction’s radical departure from representational traditions, examining how artists began to express emotional, spiritual, and intellectual concepts through non-objective forms, colors, and compositions. Arch highlighted pivotal moments when artists broke from convention to develop a new visual language that prioritized formal elements over literal depiction.
Special attention was given to pioneering women abstractionists whose contributions were often overlooked in traditional art historical narratives. The lecture concluded with an exploration of how contemporary artists continue to push the boundaries of abstraction, incorporating new technologies, cultural influences, and conceptual frameworks that revitalize this enduring artistic approach.

Phyllis Feld - A Retrospective
The Rocky Neck Art Colony proudly presents Phyllis Feld—A Retrospective, a three-day exhibition curated by Dina Gomery, showcasing the works of Phyllis Feld (1941–2023).
Phyllis Feld, a Gloucester resident, worked from her studio overlooking the inspiring Cripple Cove. An award-winning artist and cherished member of the Cape Ann arts community, Phyllis passed away suddenly in May 2023 at the age of 81, leaving works in progress and dreams of new creations. She loved painting en plein air, finding the experience both challenging and “liberating.”
A perfectionist with high standards, Phyllis brought the same dedication to her art as she did to her career as a space designer. Her oil paintings are known for their fine detail, tonal depth, and atmospheric quality. She was an active member of the Rocky Neck Art Colony, North Shore Arts Association, Gallery 53 (now The Salted Cod), Central Street Gallery in Manchester-by-the-Sea, and the Marblehead and Concord Art Associations.
This retrospective offers an opportunity to honor Phyllis's memory, celebrate her legacy, and reflect on her contributions to the artistic community.

Elemental: Abstractions for Unsettled Times
Curated by Meredith Anderson and Ginger Myhaver
Elemental, Abstractions for Unsettled Times, curated by Meredith Anderson and Ginger Myhaver, features six established artists from Gloucester and greater Essex County. Each artist engages deeply with material, form, and space—pushing the boundaries of abstraction through rigorous practice. Their works, whether exploring geometric shapes, elemental materials, or finely-honed surfaces, go beyond formalism, resonating with the human experience and the unsettled times in which we live.

-
We live in unsettled – and profoundly unsettling – times. The multitude of environmental, cultural, political, economic, migratory, and health crises facing humanity can be quite overwhelming. And while many excellent contemporary artists and exhibitions are producing compelling, timely works that address these crises directly, Elemental began with a desire to show art that seemed to capture the cognitive, emotional, bodily, and spiritual experience of living when nearly every aspect of our common life is in flux, is on – and potentially about to go over – the edge. Also animating the curators’ ambitions were questions about how to sustain oneself, one’s hope, one’s will amidst such uncertainty, how to and when to take action and when to withdraw, contemplate, restore and dream. Read Ginger Myhaver’s full statement here.

Handwork: The Fine Art of Craft
HandWork, curated by Jane Keddy, is an exhibition celebrating the fine art of craft, featuring six artists from varied disciplines.
Dennis Flavin 50 Years of Color
“I make art because I love to paint,” Dennis says. “Once I start painting, I can feel it coming out of my body and mind. I’ve always felt that if I have an idea, I can paint that idea as long as I let myself be free with color and lines.” — Dennis Flavin
50 Years of Color showcases Gloucester artist Dennis Flavin’s evolution as an artist. The colorful and energetic paintings range from his true-to-life portraits of the 1970s, to his psychedelic still-lifes and seascapes of the ’80s and ’90s, to his increasingly abstract work of the past quarter-century. Although Flavin has shown pieces from time to time, this exhibition will be the public’s first opportunity to see the full range of his artistic career.
Flavin’s vast catalog includes oils, pastels, and mixed media, as well as copper plate etchings. He has lived and worked in Gloucester for the better part of five decades. Locals know him as the charismatic owner of the Halibut Point Restaurant on Main Street, which he opened in 1982 and ran until just a few years ago.

What's So Funny?
JURIED BY COLLEENE FESKO
Humor in art serves many purposes – as a light moment in dark times, as a commentary to illuminate or challenge, or simply as a small treat, a bit of candy.

Popular culture icons, the animal kingdom, contemporary social issues, and the human condition are all fair game. Come, figure out what’s so funny, and laugh with us.
