This week we're presenting Newport Art Museum, Hopkinton Center for the Arts and Kingston Gallery.
The world isn't black and white, and neither are this week's exhibitions that call attention to the looming specter of climate change and our relationship to the planet. A retrospective on a massive installation, an exhibition devoted solely to ecological issues and a show that tackles modern day hot topics, all approach the topic in different ways.
The deadline to advertise in the September / October edition of Artscope Magazine is Thursday, Aug. 15.
Download the Artscope Magazine App to get the complete experience for our July / August 2024 issue. Available now.

Armenian Museum
of America
| Armen Adilkhanian, Different Worlds, "59" X 62", hand-pulled serigraph on canvas | |
Armenian Museum of America in Watertown, MA latest exhibit Gandzaran (Treasury), curated by Ryann Casey features 39 works by 24 artists from our collection.
Drawing from the Museum’s vaults—our own gandzaran—this exhibit showcases the development of Armenian art in the 20th and 21st centuries, from its origins in Armenian religious motifs, to the censorship of the Soviet period, to Armenian art’s continuous reinterpretation among contemporary artists around the world.
The exhibition demonstrates the full breadth of that history both in Armenia and the Diaspora, juxtaposing tradition and modernity, religion and secularism, individualism and community; each piece proposing a wildly different notion of Armenian art.
Despite the diversity of the work displayed here, certain themes and materials come to the fore: bread, motherhood, manuscripts, collage—commonalities which point towards a shared Armenian experience.
Mention this ad and you will receive FREE admission.
On display through August 18 in our Adele and Haig Der Manuelian Galleries.
Galleries located at 65 Main St. Watertown, MA are open Thursday through Sunday from 12 to 6 p.m.
