Destination: Cape Cod

CAPE COD

DESTINATION CAPE COD

A

cross Cape Cod and the Islands, world-class art and culture can be found everywhere, particularly during the warm days and nights of July and August.

This issue, Art New England’s Destination Cape Cod takes you to the galleries, museum exhibitions, and art fêtes of some of Massachusetts’s most cherished coastal towns. Get out your highlighter and let’s get started!

We begin on picturesque Martha’s Vineyard, only 40 minutes from Woods Hole by ferry. After disembarking in Oak Bluffs, head to the Arts District community of galleries and begin your day at Alison Shaw Photography. The gallery features exhibitions of fine art photographs by Alison Shaw, including winter shots, seascapes, landscapes, all brilliant in color and composition. “I actually did quite a bit of photographing in all the great storms,” Shaw says of this past winter. “I was out for 12 hour days in the middle of every single blizzard….The bad weather and ice and the snow transforms the landscape.” The gallery is open seven days a week during the summer, with opening receptions on July 11, August 8, and September 5, and also offers photography workshops in the fall–or photo boot camp, as Shaw calls it, during which participants shoot from dawn to dusk for six days straight. Shaw and gallery co-owner and partner Sue Dawson also hold a mentorship program, suited for photographers who have already taken multiple workshops and want to receive even more individualized attention.

From Oak Bluffs, head about six miles down Beach Road to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum in the heart of Edgartown. Dedicated to preserving and connecting the public to the Island’s history, art, and culture, the museum hosts numerous permanent and featured exhibitions, serves as the steward for three of the Island’s lighthouses, and offers educational programming for children and adults alike.

Two new exhibitions will be open through July and into August: Lois Mailou Jones: Selected Works, which presents work spanning the long career of the artist, a painter, professor and member of the Harlem Renaissance.

The exhibition, made up of privately owned works on loan, focuses on the work Jones created on Martha’s Vineyard and runs through

CAPE COD August 23. Another exhibition, Identifying Eisenstaedt, runs through August 2 and features the iconic photographs of Alfred Eisenstaedt, depicting everyday life on Martha’s Vineyard in the 20th century. The museum’s permanent Enchanted Isle exhibit provides a great overview of Island history, and Katy Fuller, marketing, membership and events manager at the museum says the exhibit is a favorite of year-round residents bringing visitors for an overview of Island history and culture. The museum wants “visitors to understand the diversity of the island,” says Fuller.

“People associate us with the whaling industry, which is definitely a large part of our history, but there’s so much more to it than just whaling.” The museum also strives to help

visitors understand “what a special place the island is and how beloved it is by both year round and seasonal residents for its unique history and culture.”

There’s every reason to linger on Martha’s Vineyard, soaking up the rich history, enjoying its beautiful beaches, and browsing its shops filled with the work of local artists.

Once you’ve had your fill, hop the ferry back to the mainland from either the Oak Bluffs or Vineyard Haven ferry terminal, and plan to spend a few hours at Highfield Hall & Gardens in Falmouth, a restored 1878 estate that now serves as a center of cultural and community life. The property boasts changing art exhibitions, group tours and estate walks, and a plethora of lectures and special events.

ALISON SHAW gallery

Through September 27, Cut Paper: Selections from the Guild of American Papercutters will be on view; the outdoor exhibition Fairy Houses of Highfield Hall will run through August 31.

The Cape Cod Hydrangea Festival in July will bring new hydrangea varieties to the gardens, and vibrant blooms will be displayed throughout the mansion. If you’re at Highfield Hall on August 9, you won’t want to miss the 5th Annual Bluegrass on the Lawn event, an afternoon of great music that will get toes tapping.

And on every first and third Sunday of every month through October, the museum hosts an estate walk, led by docents who tell the story of the Beebe family and their pair of Falmouth mansions, Highfield Hall and Tanglewood.

CAPE COD Route 6 East in East Sandwich, where you can visit the Sandwich Glass Studio and see the handblown glass creations of artist Michael Magyar. Those curious about the art of glassblowing can watch the artist at work in the studio, and visitors are free to ask questions as Magyar works. The retail shop next door features sculpture, Venetian-style glass, bowls, lights, glass balls, gifts and more. “A very popular thing we do here is engraving,” says Keiko Magyar, Michael’s wife. The free engraving service makes a personal gift for birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations.

Heading east on Route 28, you’ll travel through historic Mashpee and Osterville before reaching Hyannis, home to the Cape Cod Maritime Museum. The museum’s impressive exhibitions and collections chronicle the region’s rich maritime culture. Located on the water with a view of Hyannis harbor, the museum offers a working boat shop with classes that include boat building, spar making, and celestial navigation, as well as a brand new scrimshaw collection–the largest on Cape Cod–and an exhibition primarily featuring maritime art by local artists. The museum’s art collections “showcase local artists on the Cape and how talented they are,” says Mary Taylor, director of events and marketing.

Activities for children are offered every afternoon during the summer, and special events include a fishing festival on July 18, “Pillage the Village,” a pirate day on June 25 in partnership with the Cape Cod’s Children’s Museum, and exclusive sails and charters all summer on the museum’s 1886 Crosby catboat replica, Sarah.

And from August 14–16, events hosted by the Love Yoga Festival Cape Cod will be held on the museum grounds.

Following Route 28 to Route 6—Cape Cod’s main highway—head east to the village of South Dennis, to Miller White Fine Arts, a gallery that represents contemporary artists of both local and international renown. The gallery, founded and directed by Susan Reid Danton, will host a number of art invitationals this season, including an exhibition from July 14–August 14 showcasing the gallery’s excellent roster of artists in addition to French artists Patrick Moya and Ela Tom, courtesy of sister gallery Galerie Nouchine in Beaulieu Sur Mer, France. From August 21–September 18, the gallery presents another invitational called Contemporary Artists on Cape Cod: An

Abstraction, which features the art of fifteen artists from the fourth and last book in Deborah Forman’s series, Contemporary Artists on Cape Cod. Miller White Fine Arts is renowned for its invitational exhibitions, which Danton says she enjoys because they bring new life into the gallery and inspire new visitors to stop by.

“It’s a destination gallery. We’re really off the beaten path. But it’s a beautiful space.”

Danton says the gallery strikes a balance between a high-end gallery offering serious art and a fun space, featuring quirky collections, and word of mouth has brought the gallery acclaim.

Take Route 6 to Queen Anne Road, which will wind you through Harwich until you reach Chatham, home to Steve Lyons Gallery, which showcases awarded and collected artists

from America and Europe, and also features special events as well as “Meet the Artist” nights at the gallery throughout the summer, and special classes for children instructed by gallery owner and artist Steve Lyons. Lyons has received extensive critical acclaim for his work, in particular a 2011 series called Memento Paintings. On July 16, in conjunction with the Cape Cod Fishermen’s Alliance, artist Thom Montanari will present paintings depicting the Chatham fishing industry. Montanari will also participate in the gallery’s “Meet the Artist” series on July 31, joining a group of featured artists that includes–over the course of this summer–Scott Panuczak, Rich Benson, Thom Montanari, Bobby Baker, Lauren DiFerdinando, and Michael Lyons. The gallery will also present a show called 10 under 30, focusing on the

CAPE COD work of young, emerging, and award-winning artists across the United States.

Meandering from Steve Lyons Gallery down Main Street in Chatham, you’ll find a bevy of candy and ice cream parlors, home goods and jewelry stores, and unique nautical gifts and Cape Cod crafts. Stop by Nickerson Art Gallery, which represents the history, culture and environment of Cape Cod through traditional and contemporary styles. Located in a 1930s building built by the grandfather of gallery co-owner Ginny Nickerson, the gallery is a partnership between Nickerson, a pastel painter and Shareen Davis, photographer, gallery director and co-owner. Nickerson and Davis will feature their work in a show opening the week of July 21. Both artists, who descend from the founding family of Chatham and whose families have lived on Cape Cod for generations, are inspired by the industry and environment of Chatham and its surrounding communities. Davis, a former commercial fisherwoman, says that her photography fuses abstract color and light with a vision of the working waterfront, while many of Nickerson’s pastels combine the beauty of the coast and sea with depictions of local people working on the water. The gallery represents nationally recognized local artists and artisans and features paintings, pastels, photography, glass, jewelry, and more.

Next, head east on Route 6 towards the Outer Cape, home to artist colonies, rolling sand dunes, and streets lined with galleries. You’ll pass through Eastham, and at the town limits, the road turns into a single lane in each direction. You’ll soon reach Wellfleet center, home to Jeff Soderbergh’s seasonal

gallery and showroom, open May through November. Nestled below one of the original homestead barns in Wellfleet, this gallery and sculpture garden features the sustainable work of seasonal artists and furnishings made

by Soderbergh. The focus of the gallery is to showcase a high level of sustainably created, contemporary artwork ranging from large-scale outdoor sculpture to impeccably crafted wall art to simple and sleek, material driven furnishings. “I would like people to experience how beautiful, well crafted and inspiring art that is made entirely from sustainable materials can be,” says Soderbergh. This season, the studio features the sculpture of Mike Hansel, assemblages from Thomas Deininger, and paintings and wall art from David Gonville, Carl Dimitri and Padrick Manning in addition to some of Soderbergh’s favorite furnishings. The artist also welcomes custom commissions for homes and businesses.

Walk along Main Street past fish markets, ice cream shops, and other local treasures before stopping at Gaa Gallery, a newcomer to Wellfleet. The gallery–just a few weeks into an exciting opening season–features contemporary art with conceptual ties, ranging from painting to sculpture to photography. Presenting solo shows through the summer months, the gallery is planning to be open-year round, and in the fall and winter will showcase work through group exhibitions and off-site productions, including art fairs, pop up shows, and pop up spaces. Featured exhibitions this summer include works by Thoralf Knobloch and Erin Woodbrey, who will present shows concurrently from July 2–19; work by Barry Stone from July 22–August 9; and work by Martin Mannig

CAPE COD from August 12–30. As the gallery heads into the shoulder season, it will feature the artwork of Yael Ben-Zion and Sophia Hamann, whose shows will run from September 5–October 11.

And in October, the gallery will host an exhibit focused on young photographers, running from October 17–November 29. With both an upstairs and a downstairs space, the gallery enjoys the luxury of devoting a large amount of space to each artist that it features, and as a result, bolster its mission to “really showcase the artists,” says Erin Woodbrey, assistant gallery director. And if you can’t make it to Gaa during the summer, their exciting fall and winter events are a great excuse for an off-season long weekend in Wellfleet.

Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill is just a short drive east on Route 6, and here

you’ll find a hotbed of artistic activity, ranging from workshops in the visual arts and writing to a print cooperative to lectures and special events. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, the center’s idyllic location in the dunes of Truro fosters an inspired backdrop for creativity. During any visit to Castle Hill, you’ll meet working artists and art students from all over the country. It’s hard to resist the workshop offerings–including classes in painting, clay, mixed media, and sculpture– and the enchanted landscape draws students back year after year. Castle Hill also features an exciting roster of special events this summer, including an evening with food writer Mark Bittman at the Pamet Yacht Club on July 19 called “Get Roasted & Smoked with Mark Bittman” and a poetry reading with Dorianne

Laux and Joe Millar on August 13. Castle Hill will also host a Silent Art Auction on August 8, with an Auction Preview Show opening on July 28 and running through August 7. The Full Moon Gala at Edgewood Farm on August 29 honors Anita Walker from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and Brookline, MA, artist Janet Echelman. Echelman will also be one of the featured artists in a gallery show opening August 25. Her glorious new aerial sculpture As If It Were Already Here, currently dangles 600' above the Rose Kennedy Greenway in downtown Boston, through October, as the signature contemporary art installation in the Greenway Conservancy’s Public Art Program.

Truro’s easterly neighbor—Provincetown— is where the land meets the sea, and artists flock to the historic art colony. Packed with

galleries and unique shops, with water on three sides, and a lively community of artists, it’s a paradise for creative types. In the east end of town, you’ll find Berta Walker Gallery, dedicated to highlighting Provincetown’s rich history as an art colony, and showcasing Provincetown-affiliated art and artists. This summer, the gallery presents a trio of friends from July 17–August 9 in a show featuring the work of Varujan Boghosian, Paul Resika, and Sidney Simon. Simultaneously, the gallery presents Mystical Landscapes, which gallery owner Berta Walker calls “a really beautiful little show,” filled with the heavenscapes and seascapes of Brenda Horowitz, Sky Power, and Murray Zimiles. Beginning August 13, the gallery will feature paintings by Salvatore Del Deo in conjunction with the release of The

Watch at Peaked Hill, a book by Josephine Del Deo that describes the experience of living in the dune shack community in Provincetown.

Concurrently, the gallery will host The Provincelands, a show featuring Provincetown artists honoring Josephine Del Deo. “I like that the artists can kind of salute Josephine,” says Walker. “She’s been such a mentor and she’s been such a hardworking person for the Cape and for the environment.” Romolo Del Deo, who has been invited to represent the United States at the Florence Biennale, is among the artists honoring Josephine with new work.

Head down to Commercial Street–it’s best to travel on foot now, to take in all the sights– and you’ll find the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, just coming off the heels of a highly successful centennial year. This summer,

in conjunction with the Fine Arts Work Center and the Dedalus Foundation, PAAM presents Robert Motherwell: A Centennial Celebration.

An exhibition of paintings, collages, works on paper, photographs and ephemera runs through July 19 at the museum to commemorate the renowned Abstract Expressionist.

The museum will also present an exhibition of selected works by iconic Provincetown artist Paul Resika, known for his paintings of Provincetown forms. An exhibition of the work of American Modernist Maurice Freedman called Light, Palette, Action opens in mid-July.

Lectures and readings are also include throughout the gallery’s busy summer schedule, in addition to a Secret Garden tour on July 19 and an evening with David Sedaris at Town Hall on July 29 and July 30.

Highly acclaimed artists and writers give lectures nightly, which are free and open to all. Special events include the annual Summer Awards Celebration on July 11, which this year honors writer Elizabeth McCracken S P E C I A L

and Daniel Mullin, patron of the arts. From July 12–26, an art exhibition of Provincetown artists from the private collection of Daniel Mullin, curated by artist John Dowd, will be on view in the gallery. An exhibition of the selected works of Michael Mazur will follow, running from July 31–August 16. The 39th Annual Auction on August 15, which presents one-of-a-kind pieces of art from beloved local artists, also features Michael Mazur on the 25th anniversary of the New Provincetown Print Project.

Heading back down Pearl Street towards Commercial Street, stop inside Bowersock Gallery, a gallery established in 2004 as a venue to explore contemporary, modern, abstract, and classical works of art. On July 3, the gallery will present a show featuring surreal artist Steve Bowersock and Trent Manning, an artist who creates three-dimensional found object sculptures. “Almost like a Tim Burton,” says Bowersock of Manning’s work. The show runs through July 15. From July 17–30, visitors to the gallery can see Icon, featuring the works of Irish-born Scottish-American painter Patrick McCay and Christopher Volpe, two artists who both draw from exterior environments.

“We were thinking outside the box,” says gallery owner Steve Bowersock of the show, noting that Volpe, who is teaching a work at Castle Hill during the same week, will paint

CAPE COD outdoors in Provincetown in the days preceding the show before hanging new paintings on the walls. “Some of them might even be wet.”

Closing out the summer will be a retrospective exhibition of the work of artist William Thomson, longtime gallery collaborator and internally renowned painter.

Just a few steps west–heading towards the center of town–you’ll come across Tao Water Art Gallery, where you can find paintings by artist Karen Krieger. Krieger, who works out of Gorse Mill Studios in Needham, MA, is represented by Tao Water Art Gallery, and her work can be found in both the gallery’s Provincetown and West Barnstable locations.

Krieger’s work examines the complex interplay between the atmosphere and the landscape, combining elements of chance, Taoist philoso-

phy, traditional Chinese painting techniques and a modern Western aesthetic. “My goal is not to replicate an outer realism of a landscape but rather to capture the essence of a mountain range, the depth of water, or the feeling of mist,” Krieger writes in her artist statement.

She works with a wide range of materials, including ink, encaustic wax, pastel, graphite, and casein paint, and she has explored the field of Chinese calligraphy alongside traditional Chinese painting. On August 14, Tao Water Art Gallery in Provincetown will host an opening for Convergence: Mist and Mountains, a solo exhibition featuring Krieger’s work, which runs through August 20. Her art is on display in both locations all season.

In the center of town is Julie Heller Gallery, dedicated to showcasing Provincetown’s rich

heritage as an art colony. The gallery houses the most extensive collection of Provincetown art available for purchase, hung salon style on the gallery walls. Gallery owner and art historian Julie Heller is interested in works by both emerging and established early and contemporary artists, and the breadth of work displayed reflects nearly a century of artistic tradition and innovation. Exhibitions this summer include Tales of Hofmann from July 10–August 6; Abstraction from August 7–September 10; and a show featuring the work of Sandy Deacon from August 28–September 10. The gallery has a second location in Provincetown in the quieter East End called Julie Heller East. Every other week, it presents a solo or two-person show alongside old masters, monoprints, lithographs, drawings, wood engravings, and etchings. This

After heading off Cape, take a detour–it’s the scenic route–through the coastal towns of Dartmouth and Westport. Now in its eighth summer, the Art Drive features local artists working in their home studios in unusual and dramatic settings–down long clamshell driveways, nestled into old carriage houses or postand-beam barns, and edging up on sea coast.

Beverly Carter, director of the Art Drive, calls the event a “unique opportunity” for artists who have home studios without gallery representation to showcase their work, serving as two-day open studio tour during which artists throw open their doors to the public. Artists working in a variety of mediums, including metal, glass, silkscreen, clay, also conduct craft demonstrations for visitors. This year, the Art Drive falls on August 8 and 9, though earlier visitors to the region can view the large-scale renditions of fish that have become traditional to the event. Using templates of fish created by a local boatyard, local artists are invited to put their own spin on the fish–this year, the bonito.

The fish will be on display at various Art Drive sponsor locations, as well as at the Rhode Island Botanic Center in Roger Williams Park, Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery, and finally, at artist studios during the Art Drive.

In the heart of the West End, you’ll find AMP, or Art Market Provincetown, a relative newcomer to Provincetown. AMP is a live contemporary gallery space dedicated to featuring work by visual, conceptual, and performance artists in addition to filmmakers and writers.

AMP Gallery Director Debbie Nadolney says that now in its fourth season, the gallery is “really beginning to grow…During July and August, there are a few shows in a row that I think are really going to be quite special.” First up is a show opening July 9, which includes husband and wife painters Matt Sesow and Dana Ellyn, cartoonist Jennifer Camper, Juan Pablo Echeverri, and TABBOO! Stephen Tashjian. Another show, opening on July 24, includes a pairing between the writer Michael Cunningham and the artist Richard Dorff, who created an installation piece based on Cunningham’s fairy tales. Steven Baines, a New York artist, will also have his work paired with Cunningham’s and Dorff’s, fusing “a fairy-tale, inventive, interesting sort of a macabre element–and also a bit of tongue and cheek.” In a sense, Nadolney says, the whole gallery has a little bit of magic to it, as AMP presents a huge variety of artists, works and installations within a small space–akin to two bedrooms and a hallway in an old house–and somehow, each
