Last week, I went to the Opening Reception for the South Shore Art Center's current Media Mix…read moreexhibition (one of my pieces is in the show!) What a lovely evening! And, crowded, too -the entire gallery space was packed! There was food, beer, wine, live jazz music, awards, and lots of beautiful artwork! :) If you have never been, there are basically 2 main gallery spaces, the Bancroft Gallery & the Dillon Gallery. The Bancroft gallery is the larger space where Media Mix is being shown. I like this space very much! It has large walls on one side of it, and shorter walls on the other side with ample lighting. The walls seem to be some kind of upholstered plywood which makes for easy positioning of paintings. (No worrying about hiding nail holes!) There is also a hardwood floor which makes the entire space look modern and clean. The Dillon Gallery is smaller and darker. There was an exhibit of Italian paintings in there, which I enjoyed very much! This was really my first involvement with the South Shore Art Center, but overall, it seems to be a great place to view and learn about art! Everyone I met there is very friendly, and happy to meet local artists. It is also located in a beautiful town! I highly recommend stopping by to take a peek: http://blog.thelonebeader.com/2010/03/media-mix-opening-reception.html

They also do a kick ass framing job with every type of picture frame you could imagine. There is one particular Connecticut artist something Roy who paints these bright sheep paintings...so cute! And he's featured in the Starbucks right down the street. Even if you're not going to buy anything, this place is so fun to walk through. It's like a free museum with a really friendly staff. It's right next to the Bagel shop and Old Navy on Rt. 3A in Hingham.

What a lovely little gallery and framing shop this is! I've lived in this town for over 20 years…read moreand vaguely knew about this place but had never been in until the other day. My loss but now I know and will most certainly be back. I had gotten word from my cousin Diana who is a wonderful artist in her own right, that a Rhode Island artist by the name of Anthony Tomaselli had a show here. I promptly drove over...just a 1/2 mile or so from downtown Hingham proper and there it was. It's a small, pretty and intimate space. A man named Kevin (the owner?) greeted me and was happy to tell me about the current Tomaselli exhibit. My cousin had studied under him in Providence RI some years ago and keeps up with his work. Tomaselli was new to me but I liked what I saw of his moody oils. According to Kevin,Tomaselli's newer works were the several paintings in a brighter, more colorful palate...lots of boats and New England seascapes. Other paintings were lovely but more muted. There were a few cityscapes as well. These brighter colored oils were my favorites particularly of the boats. Kevin let me know that he welcomes folks who treat South Street Gallery like a museum and who just want to come in a look at the art. No upselling here which was refreshing. That said, the prices on some of the Tomaselli art was in reach and frankly I wouldn't mind owning one of the boat pieces. I was happy to note that South Street Gallery does framing work and seemed to have a wide selection of frames on hand. On occasion I have new things I want to hang. Unlike my husband who believes one should learn the art of framing (he's not bad!), I would rather leave that to a professional. If you are in the Hingham area, it is worth a stop in this lovely gallery. They have a website where you can sign up to hear about new shows and also an Instagram page where you find the same information. The Tomaselli exhibit will be there through the end of August.

The art in here is fantastic, for the most part - I know that's completely subjective but it is…read morethoughtful, intelligent, skillfully made, interesting,... Its serious work, which isn't the case with many galleries in the area. The people in the gallery are also thoughtful and intelligent. They're very nice and easy to talk to. They are knowledgeable about the art and artists. My only complaint would be that there's not enough turnover. If you're shopping for art, as I typically am when visiting, it's nice to see new artists - or at least a meaningful amount of new work by the artists you represent. I feel like they always have the same pieces. If you've not been, though, definitely stop in. You'll be happy you did.
