Dana Hall Gallery in Wellesley Presents Sculpture and Installation

WELLESLEY, MA – The Dana Hall Art Gallery in Wellesley is hosting Sculpture and Installation, a show featuring the work of May Beattie.

The installation runs now through Feb. 3; its featured artist, Beattie, is part of the Scattergood-Moore Artist-in-Residence program. The residency was established by Dana Hall alumna in memory of long-time art teacher Gene Scattergood-Moore.

The program gives up-and-coming artists the opportunity to showcase their work and collaborate with students.

“By reusing and reconfiguring natural and manmade materials, I create environments, new life forms and potential new (mis)uses of common objects,” Beattie says about her style. “Re-forming materials into the unintended can lead to strange and sometimes absurd conclusions. I hope for a viewer or participant in my work to have an unexpected experience with these materials.”

In addition to working in the gallery daily, Beattie will teach wheel-throwing workshops to the ceramics class and work with ArtLAB class.

The gallery is open to the public Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is closed on weekends and holidays.

Dana Hall School is located at 45 Dana St. in Wellesley.
