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.

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.
