Exhibit 'makes a splash' at Bank of Cape Cod

The artwork will be on display through September and includes traditional Cape Cod scenes of the ocean, waves and some out-of-the-box submissions, noted Mark Skala, Director of Marketing and Community Relations for the bank.
Bank of Cape Cod installed a gallery hanging system when it opened in late August so its lobby and branch offices at its fourth location could celebrate the artistic endeavors of local artists and photographers. Upcoming exhibits include paintings by renowned Hyannisport artist Sam Barber and a solo photography show by Julie DeMello.
Any area artist or photographer interested in utilizing the bank's gallery space should contact Mark Skala at [email protected].

Grid Two by MP Landis

A gallery presents an Intersect exhibit featuring work by MP Landis, now - September 9 with an Opening Reception on September 5, 7 - 10 pm.
For the past 3 years Landis has been exploring the grid through various methods of structure and deconstruction resulting in the grid becoming the primary image in finished work. Working in a process-oriented manner, the work has taken some surprising turns as in the Youngs Court series (2013) where the canvas grids became landscape-like memorials of his time living in Provincetown in the 1990's. The Intersect exhibit is a combination of the past 3 years of grid work.

These days, whale hunting is widely considered a destructive and inhumane practice of a bygone era; long forgotten are the days when whaling was a perilous adventure on the high seas. Join author James McGuane as he invites us to look back at that time of nautical adventure and witness the awesome achievements of American whaling at its 19th century peak in his discussion of his recent book, The Hunted Whale. This program is free, but registration is requested; books will be available for purchase and signing.

Readings will take place in the four theaters simultaneously, the first with each playwright in the "home" of their presenter, then rotating between the four venues. The program is funded by generous support from the Kaplan Foundation.
- Dates of the performances are scheduled for May 5, September 8, November 3, 2014; and February 2, 2015 (Dates subject to change). A festival of all four plays will be scheduled at the completion of the cycle.
