The Marion Art Center announces its newest exhibit, Illuminations, featuring works by Tamalin Baumgarten and Meredith Leich. Show dates are July 1-August 4, with an artists’ reception scheduled Saturday, July 15 from 3:00-5:00 pm. The exhibition explores the harmonies and tensions between the natural and human worlds. While working in different media, both artists use light to reveal a sense of uncanny mystery in the New England landscape and places beyond. Through Baumgarten’s oil paintings evoking memory and domestic life and Leich’s photographs and video illuminating the effects of climate change, viewers will discover sensitive depictions of our ever-changing world.
Baumgarten and Leich also serve as Codirectors of the Cuttyhunk Island Artists’ Residency on nearby Cuttyhunk Island. Learn more about the artists at marionartcenter.org/on-exhibit. During the reception, we’ll also celebrate the musicians of the Buzzards Bay Musicfest, scheduled July 12-15 (buzzardsbaymusicfest.com.)
