This week we're presenting the UMass Amherst Fine Arts Center, Bannister Gallery and Burlington City Arts.
Our three features cap the month of March with an exploration of human identity. Each featured exhibit delves into the attributes, both physical and emotional, that make us human. They use their art to hold a magnifying glass up to humanity.
Make sure to update your Artscope Magazine App in the app store and leave a review to get the complete experience for our March/April 2023 issue, out now!
The deadline for the May/June Art Basel Switzerland issue of Artscope Magazine is Saturday, April 15.
As regulations regarding Covid-19 continue to change, please visit gallery or museum websites to confirm their current hours of operation.
