The upcoming exhibit at the Jaffrey Civic Center titled “Architectural References” explores the theme of architecture through other forms of art.
The show, which runs Oct. 29 to Dec. 16 in the Auditorium Gallery of the Jaffrey Civic Center, features the work of 19 artists: Phil Bean, Bonnie Castor, Cathy Cox, Gary Custer, Rebecca Fredrickson, Julie Gargan, Linda Greenwood, Holly Harmon-Morse; Dianne Kidd, Mary Pierce, Jan Reiss, Ann Sawyer, Elaine Seidel, Brandie Sweetland, Pamela R. Tarbell, Edith Tuttle, Judy Unger-Clark, Ed Wojtaszek and Dan Worsham.
Included in the exhibit are drawings, paintings, mixed media works and photography that all include some reference to architecture. The main image the center is using for the show, “The Shadow of Mont Saint Michel” by Ed Wojstaszek, has no actual building in it at all; the reference comes in the form of a shadow.
“I particularly enjoy this show, architecture surrounds us and plays such a big role in all of our lives,” stated Fredrickson, executive director of the Jaffrey Civic Center. “The spaces we exist in can influence our comfort and our moods and they can inspire us. The theme is open to interpretation it is fun to see what artists come up with.”
The center is open Wednesdays through Fridays, noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a preview reception to celebrate the works and artists in the exhibit Oct. 28 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
The Jaffrey Civic Center is at 40 Main St. There is no admission fee to the center, and all art shows and receptions are free and open to the public. For information, visit jaffreyciviccenter.com.
