Thursday, October 8, 5-8:30pm
Neighbors is Gallery 263’s first off-site exhibition in partnership with Aeronaut Brewing Company in Somerville, MA. Neighbors features thirteen multi-media works by seven of Gallery 263’s artist members, reflecting on the theme of dualities, relationships, proximity, and repetition both micro and macro.
This off-site exhibition opportunity at Aeronaut Brewing Co. is a benefit of our Artist Membership program, which strives to support a diverse community of local artists, and offers participants both exhibition opportunities and representation.
Neighbors is inspired by the relationship between Cambridge and Somerville, and marks the beginning of a partnership between Gallery 263 and Aeronaut Brewing Co. Both neighboring towns take great pride in offering diverse opportunities for artists and recreational activities for the public, fostering both community building and a culture of art appreciation. Though Gallery 263 may be very different from Aeronaut in scale and scope, we share many of the same values. Both venues empower artists by hosting exhibitions, music, and special events, and both celebrate innovation and experimentation with a DIY approach. Neighbors emphasizes new connections and discovery right next door.
Neighbors features work by the following artist members:
Bonnie Ashmore-Davis, Clara Hy Lee, Jenny Lai Olsen, Gilead Tadmor, Miranda Updike, Nasser K, Sirarpi Heghinian Walzer
