This Sunday, Maren Brown (Maren Brown), whose “Origin(al)s: Discovery, April 18, 2025” egg tempera painting is featured on the cover of our latest issue in conjunction with her “We Are All a/Part: Recent Paintings” exhibition at Galatea Fine Art Gallery, will be joined for an artist talk from 1-3 p.m. by Rebecca Anne Nagle (All the Ways a Surface Can Seek”) and Claudine Bing (“A Lifetime of Painting”).

The three exhibitions, plus its gallery members” “Cosmic Vibes” show, continue through Sept. 27 at Galatea Fine Art, 460 Harrison Ave. -6, SoWa Boston Centre.

Reflecting on this exhibition, Brown said, “I have become increasingly aware of the forces that pull us apart – our polarized culture, isolation and a growing tendency to see ourselves as separate rather than connected.

“I believe we remain part of something much larger than ourselves. These paintings grew out of my desire to make work that reminds us of what we share. They invite viewers to pause, reflect, and consider the connections that remain, even when they can be difficult to see.”

“The Bennington Museum Vermont is an absolute gem, housing objects from local history and art spanning from the past to the present; a diverse collection of artifacts, folk art, and historical paintings,” writes Marjorie Kaye in our latest issue. “The museum also houses the largest public collection of paintings by Grandma Moses, in addition to fascinating examples of Bennington stoneware from the 19th century.

“The permanent collection also holds paintings with scenes of life, such as a great example of social realism made in 1939 by Francis Colburn, “Charley Smith and His Barn,” as well as, “A glorious 1920 landscape by Rockwell Kent, “Vermont Study,” emits an energetic stature and a longing for the simplicity of beauty.”

The is currently hosting “Vermont Vice,” in exhibition which “explores the seedier side of Vermont — not so surprising, that humans will be humans even in the midst of bucolic nature — and contains fascinating records of gambling, murders, etc., and is quite expansive and includes endearing watercolor by Thomas Waterman Wood, “Give Us a Light,” featuring two young boys lighting a smoke, probably for the first time.”

“The sea is never the same twice. Neither is the way I see it. I have always been drawn to the poetry of sailing., the rhythm of the waves, the wind filling the sails, and the colors changing with the light. In my new collection, color led me from the exhilaration of a regatta to the mystery of deep blue waters and the romance of a sailboat slowly disappearing into a glowing sunset. There is something mesmerizing about watching a sailboat move across the water. It gives you time to take in the movement, the changing colors, and that quiet feeling of watching it disappear toward the horizon.” — Sitka

“Where’s Boston? 50 Years Later,” a collection of black-and-white photographs by Constantine Manos, on view through Dec. 12 at the Boston Athenaeum, is a small gathering of his work from the mammoth multimedia piece of an abbreviated name, “Where’s Boston.” The original project began in 1975 as a commission from the City of Boston who asked Manos — along with 14 other photographers — to make a work in celebration of Beantown’s bicentennial.

J.M. Belmont reviews the show in our current issue. “If these photographs were first realized as a bid for publicity by the city, the work turned in goes well beyond. The lives he documented don’t in any way feel simple. There is too much pain, ambition, love, strife, joy and, a rare sight in our age of distraction, genuine boredom in these photographs for them to be anything but dynamic. They provide a roiling, multifaceted look at a Boston that is anything but humble.”

“Perspectives: America at 250” opens this afternoon, Sunday, Sept. 13, with a reception from 3-5 p.m. and brings together 120 original prints made by members of the The Boston Printmakers that will remain on view through November 8 at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Center for Contemporary Printmaking), Mathews Park, 299 West Ave., Connecticut Office of Tourism.

The artists were asked to respond to six thematic areas tied to the United States semiquincentennial “at a moment when the country is actively debating how its own history should be told” with the exhibition “conceived as a response to that debate, not a resolution of it” in which “landscape, portraiture, and scenes of everyday life are represented alongside more directly historical and political work, reflecting the full range of ways American artists have always responded to their moment.”

There are two opening receptions this afternoon from 1-3 p.m. at Gallery NAGA, 67 Boston — “Echoes of Place,” a group exhibition of landscapes by , Marcy Hermansader (Nick Hermansader), , and Sue McNally, curated by Rachel Rosenfield Lafo, and “ MEGAN MAGILL: Instructions for Dancing.”

“Rather than literally depicting the visible world, the four artists in this exhibition conjure echoes of places, metaphorical reverberations that blend observed landscapes with inner visions that compress location, time, and space,” Rosenfield Lafo (Rachel Rosenfield Lafo) noted.

“I paint people. People in love. People in conflict. People somewhere in between. I start with an image — collected or found. This part of the process is reassuring to me. I am not alone in this. Someone was here before. From there, it becomes a conversation between me and the painting. Nothing is prescribed. The painting ebbs and flows, and we talk to each other until I feel it is saying what I want it to say. About love, about loss, and all things in between,” writes Magill.

Both shows continue through October 3.
