CHESTERTOWN — MassoniArt’s current exhibition titled “On Beauty,” a showcase of diverse works from celebrated regional and national artists, continues through Oct. 12.
Some of the featured artists will attend the galleries’ First Friday events on Oct. 4.
“On Beauty” explores the concept of beauty in art, nature and humanity. Each piece challenges the viewer to question traditional notions of beauty and discover it in unexpected forms and places, according to a news release.
“Our goal with ‘On Beauty’ is to invite contemplation on what beauty means in today’s world,” Carla Massoni, owner and curator of MassoniArt, said in the news release. “The artists represented here offer interpretations that are both deeply personal and universally relatable, speaking to the intrinsic beauty found in the complexities of life, nature, and emotion,” she added.
Featured artists include Grace Mitchell, Heidi Fowler, Kathryn O’Grady, Elizabeth Casqueiro, Catherine Kernan, Simma Liebman, Leslie Grigsby, Janis Goodman, Katherine Cox, Jacqui Crocetta, B Proud, Erin Daniels, Blake Conroy, Celia Pearson, Julia Clift, Susan Hostetler, Eve Stockton and Greg Mort.
“On Beauty” will be on exhibit at both MassoniArt galleries, 203 High St. and 113 S. Cross St. in Chestertown. Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesdays-Fridays; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays; and noon to 3 p.m., Sundays.
Outside of regular hours, MassoniArt will open its galleries for private appointments. Call Carla Massoni at 410-708-4512 or Kate Ballantine at 410-310-0796.
