David Phillips: 57 Years of Sculpture

• RECEPTION: Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

In 57 years, David Phillips has shaped a personal, yet universally resonant, body of work. His bronze, stone, and mixed media sculpture have shown in galleries and museums, and many now live in gardens, woodlands and public spaces across the country and Japan. In his current work, Phillips has forged an artistic language rooted in natural forms and ancient symbols, many drawn from the Cape Cod landscape Phillips calls home.

Mary Crocker Fassett

Boston native and Cape Cod transplant Mary Crocker Fassett (1915 - 2016) was a self-taught artist who worked in various mediums. Drawings in charcoal and ink; paintings in oil, egg tempera, and pastel; intaglio engraving and etchings; ceramics; and sculptural materials for some 80 years. Much of her art was created in her home studio in Truro MA, where she lived from 1980 until her death.

Her work, Ms. Fassett said in the early 2000s, was inspired by the great Renaissance painters and includes scores of portraits (her first self-portrait was made at 12 years old) and macabre scenes reminiscent of Bosch and Bruegel. She was inspired by the landscape of Switzerland, France, Truro, and other places she lived.

As Ms. Fassett grew older, she painted from her imagination, often translating what she felt from music and novels into visual art.

The daughter of portrait painter Truman Edmund Fassett (1885 -1970), she studied at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and married three times. Ms. Fassett’s work has been shown locally at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Castle Hill Center for the Arts, the Schoolhouse Gallery, among other places.

BothAnd

• RECEPTION: Thursday, November 19, 2026

BothAnd is a collaborative exhibition of poetry by Brett Warren and visual art by Lauren Wolk that invites viewers to venture beyond the habits of binary, “either/or” thinking and embrace a more expansive “both/and” perspective, one spacious enough even for opposites—old and new, brokenness and wholeness, birth and death, grief and joy, presence and absence, seen and unseen, physical and metaphysical—to coexist side by side, interconnected. This perspective relies on the deliberate practice of noticing, paying attention, focusing on the here and now. The exhibit encourages this practice through literary and visual images that work both independently and together.
