A dynamic new exhibition showcasing large-scale photography juxtaposed with abstract and semi-abstract works in a variety of mediums has just opened today, June 12, in the Artists Association of Nantucket’s Federal Gallery. Titled Real and Unreal, this art show will be on display through Monday, July 7. Federal Gallery is open daily at 8 Federal Street from 10 am to 5 pm.
“The show brings together a compelling mix of works that challenge and engage the viewer’s perception of reality,” explained AAN Artistic Director Robert Frazier. “From bold abstraction to interpretive realism, the exhibit highlights a diverse range of artistic choices and creative renditions.”
A celebratory reception will be held at Federal Gallery on Thursday, June 26, from 5 to 7 pm and is free and open to the public. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet some of the featured artists and connect with fellow patrons. Light refreshments and small bites by 8Arms Chef Services will be served.
