Being Here, Wood Nymphs, Maine Inspired and Lichtenstein and Warhol at Zillman Art Museum
in Bangor, Maine through December 23

Marcie Jan Bronstein, The Force of Friendship, 2018, watercolor on paper.

University of Maine's Zillman Art Museum has four exhibits on view through December 23: Being Here, Wood Nymphs, Maine Inspired and Lichtenstein and Warhol. Being Here showcases recent watercolor compositions by Maine-based artist Marcie Jan Bronstein. She employs a wide variety of marks in her works, from shapes reminiscent of architecture to webs, stretched ovals and pill-like capsules. These varied forms, combined with the blooms of watercolor, make artworks begging for interpretation and ripe for reflection. Wood Nymphs features drawings and sculptures by JoAnne Carson. Her work is known for being quirky, representing both comedy and tragedy, and her sculptures in particular are whimsical yet thoughtful. They often replicate nature, yet her stylization adds a layer of magic to each piece. Maine Inspired is a celebration of the state's bicentennial, showcasing artists who found creative inspiration in Maine and contributed to Maine's culture and history. The featured artworks come from Zillman Art Museum's collection, including artworks by renowned artists like Winslow Homer, John Marin, Andrew Wyeth, Berenice Abbott and Alex Katz. Though each artist is different, they all contribute to an experience celebrating Maine and its artistic history. Lichtenstein and Warhol is another exhibit of works from the museum's collection, this one featuring some of the iconic Pop Art by Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Their screenprintsalong with Warhol's photographselevate popular imagery into a form of high art. The exhibits at Zillman Art Museum offer a host of perspectives for the viewer to look through and opportunities for them to be challenged. Zillman Art Museum is located at 40 Harlow Street in Bangor, Maine and is open TuesdaySaturday 10:00 a.m.5:00 p.m. For more information, visit zam.umaine.edu/current-exhibitions.

Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches, Edward Curtis: Shadow Catcher and Adria Arch: Interference at Cahoon Museum of American Art
in Cotuit, Massachusetts through December 22

Cahoon Museum of American ArtSalley Mavor.

Cahoon Museum of American Art is showcasing Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches, Edward Curtis: Shadow Catcher and Adria Arch: Interference through December 22. Salley Mavor: Bedtime Stitches is a debut of the artist's original artwork for My Bed: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep around the World, her children's book about the different ways kids around the world go to bed every night. The book, and her art, highlight and celebrate cultural differences and the universal themes of sleep and safety. Mavor's embroidered figures are charming and sweet, evoking the joy and simplicity of childhood. Edward Curtis: Shadow Catcher pays respects to the Nauset and Wampanoag peoples of Cape Cod through a selection of Edward Curtis's early 20th century photographs. These photographs are from his renowned work The North American Indian, one of the most significant records on Native American culture ever produced. The photographs provide a look into a past and a glimpse into the lives and culture of over 80 Native American tribes. Adria Arch: Interference is a series of unique artworks weaving through the Cahoon Museum of American Art's lobby, hearths, stairwells and family room. The pieces are somewhere between sculpture and painting, made up of painted cut-outs in fantastical shapes, twisting and turning throughout the museum. The artwork integrates itself into the museum's architecture without fading into the background, creating a unique viewing experience. All of the museum's current exhibits evoke positivity and wonder, injecting some much-needed joy into today's challenging world. Cahoon Museum of American Art is located at 4676 Falmouth Road (Rte. 28) in Cotuit, Massachusetts and is open ThursdaysSaturdays 10:00 a.m.4:00 p.m. For more information, visit cahoonmuseum.org/exhibitions.

Pia Camil: Velo Revelo, Lines from Life: French Drawings from the Diamond Collection and Ground/work at The Clark Art Institute
in Williamstown, Massachusetts through various dates

The Clark Art Institute
Pia Camil, Valparaiso Green Cloak for Three, 2016, stitched fabric, 81 1/4" x 175" installed.

Pia Camil: Velo Revelo, Lines from Life: French Drawings from the Diamond Collection and Ground/work are currently on view at The Clark Art Institute. Pia Camil: Velo Revelo, an exhibit featuring the sculptures of Pia Camil, will be on through January 3, 2021. Velo Revelo consists of two sculptures from the artist's Camil's Skins series, as well as a new site-specific installation. Camil utilizes fabric in ways reminiscent both of Mexican craft and modernist American paintings. Her works evoke themes of public and private space, indigenous craft, gender and identity. Lines from Life: French Drawings from the Diamond Collection is on view through December 13, and showcases 19th-century French figure drawings from the collection of Herbert and Carol Diamond. Figure drawings had many uses throughout the 19th century, from being measures of artistic skill to demonstrations of creative independence. The featured pieces portray a timeline of how figure drawings changed over the span of the 19th century's different artistic movements. Ground/work is Clark Art Institute's first outdoor exhibition, on view through October 2021. The installations of artists Kelly Akashi, Nairy Baghramian, Jennie C. Jones, Eva LeWitt, Analia Saban and Haegue Yang populate Clark Art Institute's 140-acre campus. The artists created their pieces in response to sites of their choosing, understanding that they would be exposed to daily and seasonal changes in the landscape and the eyes of countless viewers. The exhibit strikes a balance between nature's fragility and transient quality, and its resiliency through the passage of time. All three offerings at Clark Art Institute provide thoughtful, contemplative experiences for viewers looking to learn more about art and themselves. Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts and is open TuesdaySunday 10:00 a.m.5:00 p.m. For more information, visit clarkart.edu/museum/exhibitions.
