The Upstairs Gallery is pleased to present the works of Sherry Davis and Cathleen Ficht. Sherry Davis is exhibiting a site-specific installation that blends recycled and modified textiles, industrial materials, and natural objects. Cathleen Ficht’s works on paper are based on her finely detailed drawings of waves and water; depicting images that hover between representation and abstraction. The exhibition runs daily from 8 March through the end of May.
The Tremaine Art Gallery at The Hotchkiss School at 11 Interlaken Road, Lakeville CT is pleased to present Dialogue: Art in Conversation, featuring works by Valerie Hammond and Nathaniel (Tate) Klacsmann, from April 2 through June 2, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, April 6 from 4 to 6 p.m. This exhibition explores the creative processes of two artists whose work reverberates around questions of social inequity, magic, myth, and the environment. Together, their pieces begin a conversation filled with reflective echoes, offering opportunity for intersection around creativity and process. Curated by Joan Baldwin and Terri Moore, Dialogue also includes video and photography by Colleen Macmillan, Ann Villano, and Hotchkiss film students. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.
