Drawing from a series of works addressing ideas of impossible architecture, liminal spaces, and temporal and spatial distance, “The Long View: Paintings by Marcia Santore” will be on view from September 2 through 30 at the Bellnap Mill Museum Riverside Gallery, 25 Beacon Street East, Laconia, New Hampshire, the show’s opening reception takes place on Friday, September 5 from 5-7 p.m. “As someone who has moved many times, both as a child and as an adult, houses seen from within and without, rooms and hallways, doors and windows, and the roads and landscapes seen through and from them have multiple meanings for me,” Santore said. “They are places full of mystery and possibility, suggestive of many potential futures or outcomes.”

The cover to our September/October 2025 issue features Julie Beck, Move Along, Nothing to See Here, 2025, oil, 24" x 36", on view in the “Annual New England Regional Juried Exhibition” at The Guild of Boston Artists, 162 Newbury St., Boston, Massachusetts, through September 27.

Beck shared the creative process behind her self-portrait earlier this year on her Instagram page where she could be seen building up the image, carefully using a liner brush for her eyelashes, while explaining the complexity of painting eyes so they look realistic, “spherical globes within a socket” and all and how hog bristle brushes allow for a truer looking dress. “I prefer more of a natural-ish look,” she wrote, “like where you can see a few blemishes, a skin wrinkle, here and there.” The end result was spectacular, writes Brian Goslow, reviewing the exhibition in our 118th issue.

Colorful, bold and expressive oil paintings by Laura Levine inspired by the Outer Cape Cod landscape go on view Wednesday and remain on view through September 13 at Cad Rad Studio, 427 Commercial St., Provincetown, Massachusetts..

“Dynamic color fused with expressive brushstrokes is the essence of Levine’s oil paintings of the Outer Cape and permeate all of her work. Provincetown and Truro views have been her great source of inspiration for decades. After direct observation she will often work in her studio where she develops her paintings that end up being a hybrid of realism and abstraction.”

The show’s reception takes place during this Friday night’s Provincetown Gallery Stroll from 6-9 p.m.; another reception will take the following Friday, September 12, from 6-9 p.m. Cad Rad Studio will be open daily during the show from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

In addition to his exhibitions, Despres has published a number of self-titled books including in 2010, “Five Months” and in 2020, “The Photobooth Project.”

Our upcoming September/October 2025 issue, due next week, features Eric Taubert’s review of Wayne Miller’s “Kintsugi Paintings: Paintings in the Narrative Tradition” exhibition that’s on view through September 12 at Miller White Fine Arts, 708 Route 134, South Dennis, Massachusetts, in the heart of Cape Cod.

“The show’s title references the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi — repairing broken pottery with urushi lacquer dusted in powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Rather than disguising damage, this technique highlights fractures with luminous veins of precious metal,” Taubert writes.

“Miller treats each canvas as a contemporary stele, frequently including only partial text from his complete poems and then further eroding or obscuring the component characters. This strategic fragmentation requires the viewer to construct meaning from dispersed clues.”

“Invisible Threads: Portraits and Stories of Our Global Neighbors” continues through November 9 at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, 60 Hope Lane, Dennis, Massachusetts. Lee Roscoe reviews the exhibition in an Artscope Online bonus content exclusive:

“The photographs taken by Julia Cumes and Lipe Borges of people who have emigrated to Cape Cod that are being shown are jewellike,” Roscoe writes. “The exhibit is cinematic in scope. The photos gleam with a rare clarity of lighting. All the humans (and many pets) along with their families, babies, sons, daughters, grandchildren — look directly at the audience, individual eyes showing pride, defiance, humor, or warmth. Their hands, Jones points out, often intertwine or rest on something dear to them in their journey. They are from Haiti, Brazil, Belarus, from Kabul, Costa Rica, the Philippines, El Salvador, the Ukraine and elsewhere. Some wear home-country traditional clothing, a Balinese shirt, a Moroccan kaftan, some wear American.”
