Three Stones Gallery Concord is showing 20/20: The Photography Show until February 22. This show celebrates all things photography, displaying the work of 13 fine art photographers, including some Three Stones Gallery artists. The featured photographers are Monika Andersson, Ko Baryiames, Aliisa Gray, Cynthia Katz, Rob Houghton, Robin Glass, Richard Higgins, Brandon James, Jennifer M Johnston, Rachel Jump, John Kennard, Jordan Kessler and Rickie Krug. Their photographs differ in style, type, and process, but all display the versatility and variety of photography as a medium. The show's title is an obvious reference to 20/20 vision, and the photographs in 20/20 carry us into the new year with that sense of vision, asking us to look into the year ahead and make it great. Three Stone Gallery Concord is located at 115 Commonwealth Avenue in Concord, Massachusetts, and is open Tuesday–Friday 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. For more information, visit threestonesgallery.com.

Starting January 30, Wheaton College's Beard and Weil Galleries will be showing a nerve is not a nerve but a bundle of fibers through March 28. This show features the unique textile work of seven contemporary artists, Caroline Wells Chandler, Pilar Sans Coover, Gabrielle Ferreira, Sean Paul Gallegos, Sarah E. Jenkins, Saberah Malik and Sarah Zapata. Textiles are commonly thought of as inartistic functional pieces or simple decoration, but the work in a nerve is not a nerve but a bundle of fibers proves that textiles can be incredibly expressive. The artwork in this show addresses personal and cultural identity through large-scale crochet, narrative embroidery, deconstructed sneakers, public sewing circles and traditional dyeing and weaving. Textiles are nearly universal, with peoples all over the world creating textiles with their own customs and materials. a nerve is not a nerve but a bundle of fibers taps into that universality even as it displays the vastly different works of each skilled artist. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, January 30, from 5:00–7:30 p.m. Beard and Weil Galleries are located at 26 East Main Street in Norton, Massachusetts, and are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 1:00–5:00 p.m. and Thursday 1:00–8:00 p.m. For more information, please visit wheatoncollege.edu/arts/gallery.

Through February 23, Center for Maine Contemporary Art is showing Temporality | The Process of Time. This exhibit is the second in an ongoing series at CMCA that addresses common themes in contemporary art. The biennial series began in 2017 with Materiality | The Matter of Matter and continues to Temporality with the work of 14 skilled contemporary artists. Temporality explores our deepest questions about the concept of time: What is time, how do we measure it, how can we ascribe value to it? The featured artworks offer their own answers to these questions using painting, photography, sculpture, installation, video and other media. However, one can say that time itself is also a medium in these pieces, as the exhibit webpage points out: The only sure things about time are that "artists need time to make their work and viewers need time to look." Temporality, therefore, asks the viewer to slow down and take the time to consider the questions it asks about time and perhaps find the answers. There will be a Sunday Salon for Temporality on January 26 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. with some of the artists from the exhibition. CMCA is located at 21 Winter Street in Rockland, Maine and is open Wednesday–Saturday 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:00–5:00 p.m. For more information, please visit cmcanow.org/temporality.
