Shirley, MA, March 22, 2023 – Gallery Sitka announces its annual Earth Day exhibition, with an opening reception on Friday, April 5 from 4:30-6:30pm.

Gallery Sitka owner, Tamar Russell Brown states, “Recently many of us have seen intense flooding in Central Mass., on the Vineyard, and in Newport. Therefore, this year’s Earth Day art exhibition will focus on our oceans, rising sea levels, flooding, and the like. As in previous years, we invite artists to interpret the theme as they see fit and to utilize whatever medium they desire.”
Selected works will be shown in both Gallery Sitka locations in Shirley, MA and Newport, RI during April 2024.
Artists include Beth Barry, Ann Brady, Marston Clough, Linda Cuccurullo, Sandi Daniel, Barbara Groh, Sara K. Lyons, Scott Niemi, James Proctor, Daniel Senie, Kate Shaffer, Erin Starr, Amalia Tagaris, Shira Toren, Cynthia Woehrle and more!
