Ninety-two artists, one gallery, ten years — and the whole point has always been to bring as wide a range of what's actually being made right now into the conversation in Georgetown. That's ranged from Craig Peyton's CloudMan near the very beginning, to dreamscapes from Katerina Lanfranco and Stephen Maine's plate-pressed paintings this past winter. And then there's James Grashow. He showed with us for years and was one of the most beloved people in this community before he passed away last year. His woodcut Philadelphia Freedom (above) is in this show — horses, flags, crowds, cannons, a death figure holding a sign, all compressed into one surging mass pushing forward like two hundred and fifty years of momentum finally breaking the surface. Every face in the crowd is cut by hand into wood, distinct. It's loud and funny, which is sort of how he was too. This is what ten years in looks like. See all ninety-two artists in the show at GTownArts. We're open Saturdays, 11–4, through July 25 — then closed for August. 5 Main Street, Georgetown. Come see it this Saturday — and forward this to someone who'd love it too. |
