PAM PINDELL: Close to Home
May 31 - July 6
 Nantucket artist Pam Pindell is well-known for her exacting rendering of form, be it as a person or a flower. She studies classical techniques and the techniques of the Boston School, but breaking from tradition of formal portraiture, her favorite subjects are friends, family and denizens of the island.
SAM FEINSTEIN (1915 - 2003): A Retrospective
May 31 - July 27
Curated by Patricia Stark Feinstein
This exhibition will reveal the seventy-year trajectory of Sam Feinstein’s development from realism through expressionism, cubist expressionism, Hofmann-influenced abstraction to Feinstein’s own unique language of color—vibrating and luminous — in his monumental, mature abstract paintings.
Born in Russia and raised in Philadelphia, Feinstein taught and supervised classes at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and filmed the museum’s first art documentary. He later moved to New York and studied with Hans Hofmann, whom he filmed in 1950 to create his documentary, Hans Hofmann. Feinstein taught at Pratt Institute, wrote for Art Digest magazine and exhibited his paintings in New York, Philadelphia and Provincetown until he withdrew from the exhibition world in 1960 to dedicate himself to refining his principles and teaching for the remainder of his life. Feinstein spent his summers on Cape Cod, during the 1950s in Provincetown, and in 1960 moved to Whig Street in Dennis where he painted and taught for the next 42 years.
Curator Patricia Stark Feinstein, a painter, teacher, curator, lecturer and former faculty member at Riverdale Country School in New York City, will expand upon the art and philosophy of her husband in related events during the show. She studied with Sam Feinstein and taught with him for eighteen years. She has written a book on her husband’s work that will be released by the award-winning Fields Publishing in conjunction with this exhibition.

FOUR PAINTERS: On Common Ground
June 7 - August 10
Gallery Talk: Donald Beal on Thursday, July 17, 11 am
Our work differs as our natures differ, but there is a like spirit and feeling that runs through all the work and unites us. - Donald Beal
These artists have a thirty-year history of friendship - at one time or another schooling together, living together and studying with Paul Resika at Parsons School of Design in New York. Like Resika, thay all have a deep respect for the modernist principles of his teacher Hans Hofmann. They went their different ways: Beal and DuToit to the Outer Cape, Radell to France and new York, and Paulson to upstate New York; but they share an ongoing dialogue that continues to shape their work and their lives.

CAMMIE WATSON: Shelter
June 21 - July 27
 Watson works in a variety of media and is fascinated by the juxtaposition of human dwellings in the natural landscape. In this exhibition, she shows us the process by which she works by presenting three elements for each painting: a watercolor sketch, an oil based on that sketch, and a collage created with the actual leftover colors from the oil paintings.
