EXHIBITION

Cove Gallery is kicking off its 2025 season with the immersive and vibrant exhibition, Energy of Color, featuring the work of North Shore artists who draw inspiration from the striking hues and natural beauty of Cape Ann and beyond.

The Shape of Things exhibition, juried by Adria Arch, features 11 artists from the greater Boston region. The 34 pieces in the exhibition include paintings, mixed media, sculpture and video, all of which utilize the fundamental design element of shape as a defining component of the work.

Healing of Art, an exhibition curated by Rebecca Anne Nagle, thoughtfully explores the four realms of healing—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—through a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, mixed media, and encaustic. Featuring the work of Ryan Kelley, Judith Brassard Brown, Deborah Gonet, and Nagle herself, the exhibition highlights how the creative process itself can become a path to healing. Working in solitude, each artist draws from the ego, mind, soul, and spirit, channeling personal and collective experiences into powerful visual expressions.

"What’s In A Voice" is an evocative exhibition by artist Talya Baharal, the 2025 GAR Distinguished Artist, that explores her evolving visual language through abstract compositions inspired by the overlooked and unexpected—cracked asphalt, broken ice, tangled wires. These works, created over recent years, reflect her ongoing search for personal voice and meaning through the layered processes of painting, disrupting, and rebuilding.

Rephrasing, an exhibition curated by Janice Brand. This show, the fifth for the season at Cove Gallery, encompasses the mixed-media work of four artists who utilize the concepts of adaptation and revision.

Gloucester is well known for both art and science. This exhibit will reflect on the shared history and processes of the two disciplines and show how art can transform the impact and implications of science into something concrete, visible, and engaging.
