Our latest issue features Suzanne Volmer’s introduction to the recently opened Angell Street Galleries, 324 Angell St., Providence, Rhode Island, whose current “Summer Exhibition” runs through July 19 and includes works by Kathryn Parker Almanas, S.W. Dinge, Vienna Gambol, Marjorie Hellman. Rebecca Jenness, Kendel Joseph, James Powers, and John Trainor Current gallery hours are Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 1-6 p.m. and on Wednesday from 1-9 p.m.

“Angell Street Galleries intentionally closes the gap between Brown University, Rhode Island School of Design, AS2220 and beyond, so all artists are afforded visibility as members of the same community. This effectively shifts the power seat, so artistic vision, rather than institutional perspective, is seen as shaping the direction of creative content. Owner Tom Petrosino fast tracks a new paradigm to give the next generation of artists two important things: legitimacy and physical permanency. At Angell Street Galleries this creates a climate of acceptance for cohort culture and will bring Brooklyn-based artists to Providence and Providence artists to Brooklyn.”

“Carmen Cicero’s watercolors and drawings depict the strangeness of the human condition and the masks that we wear woven through with themes of injustice, subtle lust, and chaos, as well as joy”; they can be seen in “Tales of Intrigue” until July 20 at the Berta Walker Gallery, 208 Bradford St., Provincetown, Massachusetts.

The inspirational, still painting at 99 years old, Cicero is “Cornered” by Lee Roscoe in our latest issue.

“Often cartoonish and both dream-like and humorously Noir, as exemplified by “The Serpent,” a night scene of a trench coated man followed by a snake on a road under the moon, or by Castle Hill Road, showing a mysterious darkened house at sunset with a ghost of a man watching it from across the street, vignettes take place within an unknowable and awesome nature and universe.”

A second exhibition, “Carmen Cicero: Drawings and Watercolors: Tales of Intrigue, Danger and Humor,” can be seen through Oct. 5 at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, 60 Hope Lane, Dennis, Massachusetts

"Over the course of a year, artist Nancy Gruskin selected works by 11 others with studio visits as far afield as New York City and London, England for “Object Lessons,” an exhibition on view through August 10 at Concord Art (Concord Center for the Visual Arts, 37 Lexington Rd., Concord, Massachusetts. “In her beautifully designed and written catalog, Gruskin wonders, “why are vessels in particular the objects of affection for so many artists?” writes Madeleine Lord in our new issue.

“In the works created by Gruskin and her selected artists, vessels do more than stand still. They defy assumptions about form or function, are ghosted by their outline, look like they will vanish or have recently formed, refuse to be useful, take on a monumental size, defy gravity or multiply out of control. In a benign version of the horcrux imagined by J. K. Rowling in her Harry Potter series, the vessels in each of these artists works enclose a portion of a soul and are safe keepers of the artists’ stories.”

Reintroducing the iconic symbol of 1960s activism, “Peace Signs of Vermont: In Search of Meaning, Art and Cultural Truth,” an exhibition of works by Zoë, Jasper and Shawn Dumont opens today and runs through August 29 at the Karma Bird House Gallery, 47 Maple St., Burlington, Vermont.

Over the past year, Shawn Dumont, founder of the Shelter Cultivation Project, and his two young children, spent the past year crisscrossing the states back roads in search of peace signs and the stories behind them. “What began as a spontaneous family adventure quickly became a deeper exploration of community, culture, and the enduring spirit of the back-to-the-land movement. Along the way, they discovered that these peace signs are more than symbols, they are living folk art, handmade expressions of hope and connection that quietly dot ’s landscape.”

An opening reception and screen-printing workshop will be held next Thursday, July 10, from 6-10 p.m.

These artists’ works, realistic to abstract, interpret the vastness theme, speaking to the nature of wide spaces and reach beyond the gallery’s windows to take our imaginations to limitless horizons.” The show continues through July 27.

Explore “Cottage Street: Past and Present” this Saturday from 4-7 p.m. at Elusie Gallery and the ECA Gallery 43 Main Street, Easthampton, Massachusetts. Marjorie Kaye previews the Easthampton City Arts exhibition and the story behind its necessity in our new issue:

“Andrea Zax has put together the works of over 50 artists in two galleries in Easthampton. The work includes painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, ceramics, fiber art, fine crafts, and poetry and more, all in celebration of a community of artists and their symbiotic relationships. The Elusie Gallery and ECA Gallery, mainstays in Easthampton, are working side by side with Zax, including hanging the many works and helping to promote the shows. Even in the shadow of the disappointing outcome of the loss of affordable studio space (at Cottage Street Studios), it seems that the aftermath is one of excitement, as the artists unite in the tidal debris.”

Frieze New York Week 2025 didn't pretend that all was well, but it showed us that all is not lost,” writes Artscope’s Claudia Fiks, looking back on the early May event which provided an early view at what to expect at Art Basel. “The art world is adapting, searching, and, most importantly, creating. If you're considering going next year, put it on your calendar. Something is thrilling about being in a room where the future is being imagined in real-time, one brushstroke, sculpture, or soundwave at a time.

“The mood? Optimistic. Focused. Intentional. Collectors weren't just browsing; they were buying. And I witnessed some sales on the spot. Works in the $50k $500k range moved briskly, suggesting resilience in the mid-market, even as the top end (over $10 million) continues to cool. While talking to some buyers I noticed that many of them gravitated toward pieces with conceptual and emotional weight rather than just big names or flashy price tags.”
