“Another world is not only possible, but she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” -Arundhati Roy, Author of God of Small Things
The works in this exhibition explore hope for the future as we confront the turmoil of our times: the specters of social injustice, political unrest, and the existential threat of climate change. We envision social equality and a sustainable environment in a thriving world. Viewers are encouraged to contemplate the artworks and aspire toward a vibrant, life-enhancing world. The future is ours!
Shake The Norm

Reception, Friday, April 2, 5-7 pm

“Shake the Norm” is a juried group exhibition that disrupts the usual way of doing things, challenges standard expectations, and introduces fresh changes to the humdrum routine, asking: Why do we follow the behavior of others? Most of the time, social norms are useful parameters to live by, but as artists, norms hold us back as we explore concepts of gender and identity, as well as what it means to be a female artist in the 21st century.

Natural Influence draws us into moments that feel grounding and restorative—nature (genetics) affects nurture (environment) by shaping how an artist reacts to, seeks out, and modifies their surroundings—constantly shaping one another to understand and be able to process, to restore, revive, and reshape how we think about place and humanity. Hello Nature, Meet Nurture.

'Be Intentional' is a group exhibition featuring 2D and 3D works that reflect our artistic perspectives. Our view is that being intentional starts with clarity and specificity. All artists are political and must accept responsibility. Being intentional also means being open about your life's goals, which requires using emotional intelligence to confront everything society might throw at you — and we know it’s a lot during our time!

Reception, Friday, July 10, 5-7 pm

Our lives are in constant motion as we adapt to ever-changing social, political, and cultural events. Involuntary, accidental reactions profoundly shape our outlook, transforming our mindset and philosophy. All artists are affected, consciously and unconsciously, by the impact, in their own way. For many, the process of creating is a way to communicate, rationalize, and accept this facet of the artistic journey.

Juror Stacy Latt Savage. University of Massachusetts Sculpture Professor Savage exhibits her sculpture in a variety of venues, including museums, university galleries, outdoor public settings, and permanent commissions. Selected museums include the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park (Lincoln, MA); the Alternative Museum (New York, NY); the Fuller Museum (Brockton, MA); the Revolving Museum (Lowell, MA), and the New Bedford Art Museum (NB, MA). University gallery settings include Brandeis University, Bridgewater State University, Stonehill College, UMass Lowell, and Bristol Community College. Recent international exhibitions have included a drawing exhibition in Beijing, China, and a traveling sculpture exhibition throughout Southeast Asia, organized by the University of Hawaii Art Gallery. Professor Savage is a sculptor who works across media, endlessly searching for meaning and structure through a studio practice signified by a love of making, an enchantment with raw material, and a devotion to process and visual discovery. Her sculptures reflect cultural anxiety and a vibrating unease, which she believes are the by-products of our rapid-paced, media-saturated, and turbulent culture. Her sculptures embody the inevitable struggle between order and chaos as Savage choreographs form and shape to compose what it means to feel human.
playing with fire
When: July 3 - August 2, 2026
Where: Galatea Fine Arts in SoWa Art & Design District
-
Friday, July 3, from 6-8 pm
-
We ventured into the world with the cautionary words, 'Be careful when you play with fire,' as they apply to politics, art, daily life, and environmental concerns. These embers burn the walls we build to enclose our lives, suffocating us and leaving our thoughts and physical selves in the ash. But after the worst burn, a single ember ventures back into the world for the chance to feel alive, blazing within, quickening at a wild pace, unbound, consumed by every addictive media outlet. The longing for connection kindles hope and eclipses the unbearable noise and endless images. In this show, we welcome the power of fire, literally and metaphorically..

Our resistance to restrictions could explore feelings of confinement and the desire for freedom, using imagery of literal and metaphorical chains and limitations to symbolize the constraints artists face. The artists in this exhibition can avoid or push back against authority, challenge traditions, and express their determination to break free from these limitations.

Windchill, the phenomenon in which the perceived temperature drops significantly due to wind, is a powerful metaphor for broader social and environmental challenges. The windchill amplifies the effects of cold weather and societal inequities.
The artists engage with themes of awareness, adaptation, stability/instability, and the interconnectedness of all beings. This timely multimedia exhibition, entitled Windchill Factor, features drawings, paintings, sculptures, and installations that address women's unique experiences and perspectives, as well as the obstacles they have faced throughout history. Women are potent collaborators with the foresight to facilitate the environmental and social change necessary for a healthy future.
