SUMMARY:ARToberfest Open Studios
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate FALL! On Saturday October 5th and Sunday October 6th from noon until 5pm each day and the artists will have their doors open to share their creative passions with you. Explore our repurposed mill buildings filled with locally made artwork\, handmade crafts\, photography\, jewelry\, works in wood\, glass and metal. We’re the second largest artist community in the US – right here in Lowell and we’ve got art. And a coffee pop-up. And a brewery. And food trucks too. Pretty cool. \nSaturday features the Loading Dock Gallery’s show reception from 4-6pm.  This is the New England Juried Poetry Convergence called “Repetition\, Replication\, Variation” and will feature a poetry slam on the A Mill Loading Dock. Stick around for words flying off the walls! \nWe’ve got lots going on – read about it all in our blog post!

SUMMARY:Orbs: Spheres of Unity
DESCRIPTION:The Loading Dock Gallery heralds November with an invitational exhibition by Tracy Levesque entitled Orbs: Spheres of Unity\, showcasing the fine art and fine craft of glass\, fiber\, 2D and metal artists. \nThe theme of this show is both relative and timely as this select gallery of artists explores the unifying principle of orbs\, spheres and circles\, their significance\, and how the different media of artistic expression convey the form’s essence of perfection\, unification and the balancing of the extremes of the world we live in. \nCome delight in this artistic celebration of the orb and how it’s symbolic nature of unity\, vision\, inclusivity and balance may only scratch the surface of our imaginations! \nOrbs: Spheres of Unity will be on display at the Loading Dock Gallery from October 30\, 2019 through December 1\, 2019. All are cordially invited to the Artist Reception on November 2\, 2019 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm during the Western Avenue’s Open Studios.

SUMMARY:An Afternoon with Maddy Rosenberg
DESCRIPTION:MADDY ROSENBERG shares insight into her career as both an internationally recognized artist and curator. Ms. Rosenberg works in several media including oil painting\, artist’s books\, printmaking\, drawing\, toy theatre and installation. Her work appears in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Tate Museum\, Fogg Museum\, Yale University and the Victoria and Albert Museum among dozens of other. \nAcclaimed for her international curatorial work\, she approaches curating as an extension of her art practice. In 2009\, Rosenberg opened CENTRAL BOOKING\, a multi-disciplinary art space in Brooklyn focusing on artist’s books and exhibitions on art & science. The gallery has since grown out of its four walls into a nomadic curatorial endeavor between Ms. Rosenberg and a variety of collaborators such as the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Library. This presentation is free and open to the public. \nLearn more at maddyrosenberg.net and centralbookingnyc.com
