Press Release

In honor of the Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill’s 50th anniversary, Gaa Gallery is pleased to present the group exhibition, Celebration. Opening on Friday, September 2, with a reception from 6 - 8 pm, Celebration will feature recent work from Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Deborah Dancy, Mark Dion, Anina Major, Judy Pfaff, Dana Sherwood, Joan Snyder, Erika Wastrom, and Erin Woodbrey.

 

Affectionately referred to as Castle Hill, the Truro Center for the Arts has been a pillar of the Outer Cape Community since its founding in 1972. In the spirit of Castle Hill’s dedication to visual art and arts education, the work in Celebration can be characterized by its expansive use of process, craft, material, and artistic modalities. Highlighting a cross-generational and interdisciplinary approach to art making, the exhibition features a selection of recent work by former Castle Hill faculty, staff, and honorary chairs. Bringing together nine artists working across media, including painting, drawing, encaustic, sculpture, installation, printmaking, papermaking, and ceramics, Celebration highlights the experimental spirit and generative space central to Castle Hill’s artistic legacy.

 

Celebration will be on view through November 26 and will run in conjunction with exhibitions at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, The Provincetown Arts Society at the Mary Heaton Vorse House, AMP Gallery, Berta Walker Gallery, and Schoolhouse Gallery.
