Art Exhibits

Simons Rock College in Great Barrington presents an exhibition of the recent works by local visual artist SARAH JACKSON from December 1 through December 16 in the Doreen Young Gallery. The 25 drawings, paintings and collages in this show capture a territory between abstraction and representation, where the figure searches for and sometimes finds a connection to the divine. Ms. Jackson’s use of color and materials, including copper, lead, slate, glass and wood, is informed by a deep interest in medieval alchemy. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, December 1 from 2-6 p.m. Gallery hours are Friday through Sunday from 2-10 p.m. Free and open to the public; for more info call 413-528-2060.

An opening reception will be held on Sunday, December 2 from 4-6 p.m.; free and open to the public. The show may be viewed during regular library hours; for more info call 860-542-5075.
