It’s YardArt month in Watertown. They can’t cancel spring!
For the fifth annual YardArt, Storefront Art Projects presents a show called Dancing in the Dark, Resistance, Persistence and the Pursuit of Happiness with work by 10 artists in a wide range of mediums. Cat Bennett’s four small glowing abstract paintings on wood hang next to Charles Suggs’ smoke on canvas painting called Worry featuring four kids in hoodies anxiously off to the store. Paul Angiolillo’s gestural twig and nut pod sculptures echo Hakim Raquib’s colorful digital painting of joyful street dancers. Michelle Lougees’s bottle-cap baby and vessels made from discarded plastic objects, sit near a small acrylic painting of a perfect Mandarin orange by Donna Calleja. Dianne Jenkins’ whimsical and wacky doll characters fill one storefront window, and extremely detailed paintings of exotic flowers by Mariela Dawe hang nearby. Maggie Stern is back with a batch of ceramic creatures, and on a pedestal are some phenomenal dancing shoes by designer Mauryn Kkira.
All this and more is waiting for you at Storefront Art Projects until April 26, 2025.
We hope you can visit!
Gallery Hours: Thursdays and Saturdays 1 – 4 and always by appointment
