SUMMARY:Portraits: Here's Looking at You - Inaugural Online Exhibition in the Huntington Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Portraits: Here’s Looking at You\nThe WSA is thrilled to announce the opening of its newly created online exhibition space\, the Huntington Gallery. Elizabeth H. T. Huntington (1878–1963) was a vibrant and inspiring member of the Wellesley community. During the Great Depression\, she brought local artists together\, helping establish what became the Wellesley Society of Artists in 1933. This online exhibition gallery\, named in her honor\, celebrates her vision\, creativity\, and remarkable spirit. This gallery space is for both WSA group member exhibitions as well individual member shows. \n  \n \n\n\n  \nEvery portrait is a story told without words. For centuries\, portraiture has been one of our most vital art forms – a way to preserve memory\, honor identity\, and look deeply into the essence of another living being. This show brings together a vibrant tapestry of faces. Together\, these works remind us why portraits remain so deeply loved: they hold a mirror to our own hearts\, celebrating the universal bonds of life. Enjoy our inaugural show\, Portraits: Here’s Looking at You! \n\n\nThis exhibition features the following artists: \nDarryl Abbey – Kristin Conant – Alfred DeAngelo – Claudia Doherty – Joanna Dole – Julia Greenway – Laurie Hammer – Nelson Hammer – Mena Levit – Ginit Marten – Janet Montecalvo – Joan Onofrey – Rowan O’Riley – Anna Papok – Andrea Rex – Mark Richards – Nan Rumpf – Robert Savage – Kris Shaffer – John Sherffius – Rose Wang – Malcolm Watson
