Stay Inspired

December 10, 2020 — January 30, 2021
Dolby Chadwick Gallery

The exhibition will feature work by each of the Dolby Chadwick Gallery artists
who were paired as part of the Stay Inspired series. While the poetry pairings
will not be integrated into the exhibition itself, they will appear in a gorgeous,
fully illustrated hardcover coffee-table book titled Stay Inspired: Shelter in Place
2020, published on the occasion of the show. This volume presents an astounding
selection of poetry. Voices included range from the thirteenth-century poet Rumi to
former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins to recent Nobel Prize in Literature winner
Louise Glück. For each book sold through January 30, 2021, 50% of the sales price
will be donated to No Kid Hungry, which has been doing important work to feed
families most in need during these trying times.

Making Waves

October 15 – November 3, 2020
Rice Polak Gallery

Over 40 artists will take you for a ride on the rapids of politics, social justice and
the effects of the pandemic on their work.

“The idea of the virtual show is to make people think, to stir things up and to peer
into how the pandemic and the current political situation has affected the personal
and creative lives of artists,” says director and curator, Marla Rice. With upheaval
all around, how can we in the arts stay silent? A portion of the proceeds from sales
will be donated to local non-profits including Lower Cape Outreach & Lower Cape
Food Pantry.
