Sketching Cambridge: Work by Alexandra Sheldon
July 10 - August 4, 2017 Reception: July 13, 6:00 - 8:00 pm Artist Alexandra Sheldon’s sketches of Cambridge speak to locals.

December 13 - January 4, 2018 “Drawn From Within” is a group show featuring a rather unusual group. Group shows often display the work of contest winners or artists represented by a single gallery, but the common thread that bonds these exhibition participants is their connection to a neighborhood non-profit.
