There are 91 works by 67 local artists; all of the works celebrate the theme of color.
The show is on display at the art center through April 26.
Whether it is Carole Raymondâs oil painting âTuscany,â which focuses on the reddish hues unique to that region of Italy, or the still life âEnergizedâ by East Falmouth artist Patty Calkins-Martin, the works cover a wide variety of subject matter.
Well-known artist Jane Lincoln of East Falmouth, who specializes in color theory, presents an intriguing acrylic âCommanding Cadmium,â a brainteaser of a painting, that seems to reflect on how colors react side by side.
Weavings, mixed-media works and acrylic/mixed-media paintings by a Wampanoag Tribe member are among the more than 80 works by local artists in the Falmouth Art Centerâs new show, âTextures.â The show is on display in the Hermann Gallery through March 29.
Also this month, the art centerâs Monday Morning Painters group, a group of artists who paint en plein air, are displaying their work.
The âTexturesâ show has a wide variety of mediums on display. Wampanoag Tribe member Natasha Frye of East Falmouth is showing two paintings that are inspired by the customs of her people, one showing a female tribe member in colorful regalia and the other showing an eagle whose back is painted with tribal items, including wampum shells and leather.
Brightening up a dark time, the Falmouth Art Centerâs new January exhibit is âLet There Be Light.â
The show in the Hermann Gallery features 107 works by 77 local artists, mostly from the Upper Cape towns of Falmouth, Mashpee, Bourne and Sandwich.
So many people submitted work to the show that the center is using an additional room to display the work. âWe know from this show and others we have had over the past months that our local artists have been busy and they are engaged in creating artwork during this time,â Falmouth Art Center executive cirector Laura Reckford said.
While a small number of visitors are allowed at a time in person, the Falmouth Art Center has found a popular way to gather a larger group of people together around its exhibits.
At 4 p.m. Monday, center officials will hold another online Zoom teleconference event that introduces new shows in its three galleries. The virtual “receptions” began last September after in-person art receptions were put on hold due to the pandemic.
The virtual tours have taken on a life of their own, says executive director Laura Reckford, enlarging on past in-person receptions with what she calls a little more “programming.” Artists now have a chance to talk about their working style and share images or videos of their work. More than 30 viewers have joined in for past online events.
