The Richest of Tapestries: Between Sea and Sky, an Exibit by 21 in Truro

by Lauren Wolk

They call themselves 21 in Truro but not a single one lives there. At least not in the physical sense.

The week they all spend in Truro each year, painting and refreshing their relationships and themselves, makes it their home in a very real sense. The 21 are all women, all artists, all in love with color and light, but their differences are many.

Glass Transformed:
Photographs by Celia Pearson

Sea glass is a quintessential element of the Cape Cod experience.

The magical glass first captured the attention of photographer Celia Pearson when she was commissioned to photograph for the book Pure SEA GLASS by Richard LaMotte (Sea Glass Publishing, 2004).

The best examples from the artist's body of work on this subject are on display now, from August 14 through October 10, at the Cape Cod Museum of Art at 60 Hope Lane in Dennis.

100 Works in 100 Days

by Barbara Hersey

On a cold night in February I began my "100 Day Project"; a personal artist journey to create 100 works of art, new each day for 100 days and offer them for $100 each.

Some understand the "100 Day Project" as a tool for celebrating the 100th day of grade school, but there are all sorts of 100x100x100-type art projects, fundraisers and exhibitions in the art world.

For me, the 100-Day Project began as something I would pursue for myself and share with no one.
