ArtsWorcester to Celebrate Opening of Four Exhibits

From ArtsWorcester:

On Friday, October 14, from 6-8 p.m. at 660 Main Street, ArtsWorcester celebrates the opening of four separate exhibits by regional artists Madeleine Lord, Joseph Ray, William Scully and Agnes Wyant. Madeleine Lord's sculptures begin with scrap metal and a careful process in which the negative spaces of air are assembled as thoughtfully as the metal pieces that create them, resulting in classical, graceful and whimsical forms. Joseph Ray's oil paintings pull together layers of imagery, both abstract and recognizable, to communicate a family narrative of grief and redemption. William Scully took his camera under a small Cape Cod pond to photograph water lillies, capturing their luminous simplicity and the gestures created by nature in the smallest of places. Agnes Wyant found an antique ledger account book and drew on its pages with a dip pen and walnut ink; her series asks us to move between her mysterious figures, the organic forms surrounding them and the original handwriting to think about memory, identity and mortality.The opening reception and gallery hours are free to the public.

The exhibit runs throughNovember 3, with gallery hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m., and by appointment at other times. Free parking is available in the lots belonging to the Freemasons at Ionic and Beacon Street.
