SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Hands to Earth with Patty Rosenblatt
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Patty Rosenblatt and her co-presenter and video collaborator Kathryn Brodie for a special artist talk that explores the evolution of Hands to Earth and the environmental concerns that shape it. \nRosenblatt noted that green space is disappearing so rapidly that it might soon be possible for people to live their lives without ever touching the earth under their feet. Hands to Earth is her proposal to encourage others to engage with the Earth. \nThis program provides an opportunity to look back at Rosenblatt’s project through conversation\, artwork\, and film. Her series\, First Violin\, An Octave of Prints\, which will be on display\, offers a powerful visual example of her process and material exploration. \nWe invite you to join us for an engaging afternoon of art\, reflection\, and dialogue about touch\, transformation\, and our shared responsibility to the natural world. \nwww.newartcenter.org

SUMMARY:The Allen Center presents Kathryn Gearon Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to an evening celebrating Standing Still\, a new body of work by painter Kathryn Gearon. Spend time with the paintings\, meet the artist\, and enjoy drinks and light bites. Admission is free; registration is required. Click here to register. \nAbout Standing Still: \n“My practice is rooted in drawing and painting\, yet it is the process that drives the work. Moving between abstract painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, I explore landscapes in all their forms — urban\, geographical\, imagined\, and emotional — as well as the environmental forces that shape them. These layered terrains become metaphors for the equally complex architectures within us: neural pathways\, networks of memory\, and the lingering imprints of generational influence. Urban spaces\, with their weathered walls and shifting surfaces\, are a constant reference point. They are palimpsests — marked by grime\, graffiti\, and rust — where each layer obscures the last while laying the foundation for what is to come. This continual cycle of erasure and renewal parallels the way memory\, experience\, and history accumulate in the human mind. I see remembered mark-making as a form of storytelling — each gesture a fragment of narrative that connects the past to the present. In this way\, my work weaves together personal and collective histories\, exploring how generational legacies shape identity while also carving out space for autonomy and self-definition. Through processes of layering\, obscuring\, and revealing\, I consider which marks are allowed to remain visible and which become invisible yet essential\, forming the substrate for future gestures. My work invites reflection on how the landscapes we inhabit — both external and internal — are in a constant state of transformation\, shaped by time\, environment\, and the unseen forces of the past.” -Kathryn Gearon \nProvidence native Kathryn Gearon is a painter\, teacher and an advocate for the arts. She has been painting for over 20 years\, and received her BFA from Rhode Island College in 2001\, and a MFA from The Museum School of Fine Arts at Tufts\, in 2018. She has exhibited her work extensively in galleries and public venues throughout Southern New England. \nKathryn Gearon online: https://www.kathryn-gearon.com/
