Winchester Artists to Show off Their Work

Winchester Artists to take part in Industrial Strength.

Fountain Street Fine Art’s 2011 Summer Exhibit -opens June 17th,, and runs through July 31st, 2011.

-An Opening Reception will be held Saturday, June 25th from 5-8 PM.
-The event is free and open to the public.

Winchester artists, Sculptor Madeline Lord and photographer Bob Hesse, will exhibit their work as part of Industrial Strength, Fountain Street Fine Art’s 2011 Summer Exhibit, its second open juried show.

The new gallery, located in a century-old factory in downtown Framingham, is a large, well-lit space that holds true to the gritty charm of its 19th Century manufacturing roots, hence the theme- INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH. Two of Hesse’s pigment prints, and Lord’s welded steel sculpture Angel were among 65 chosen from over 230 works of art submitted by artists from throughout southern New England by Juror Howard Yezerski, of Howard Yezerski Gallery, a leading contemporary art gallery in Boston and a vital member of the Boston art community since the 1980s. Much of the work chosen by the juror has a distinctly rugged intensity that directly relates to the theme of the show. A large number of pieces are abstract in nature, although many figurative works are also included. Painting, drawing, mixed media, photography, and sculpture are all represented in the show.

About Fountain Street Fine Art:

In January of 2011, Cheryl Clinton, a painter and mixed media artist, and photographer Marie Craig teamed up to open Fountain Street Fine Art, a large, welcoming gallery on the ground floor of the century-old factory in Framingham MA where both have studios. An artist-run membership-based gallery, Fountain Street Fine Art exhibits contemporary work by emerging and mid-career artists that is skillfully executed, exciting and new, with a strong regional focus. The gallery also periodically hosts gallery talks, workshops and film screenings of interest to artists and collectors.
