The Washington Street Art Center maintains a year round exhibition schedule in its gallery space, 321. The schedule features up to 12 exhibitions a year, most of which are reserved for the WSAC artist members. Past years' schedules have occasionally featured work from the larger arts community through juried exhibitions or hosting the work of outside curators, such as the Somerville Arts Council Grant Recipient Exhibition.
Gallery hours: Saturdays 12-4 or by appointment
Upcoming Exhibitions:
OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, October 4, 6-9pm
ON VIEW: October 4-26, Saturdays 12-4PM and October 8th 5-8PM
ARTIST TALK: Wednesday October 8th at 7PM in conjunction with Union Square events
vanessa r thompson and Meredith Fitzgerald transform gallery 321 at Washington Street Art Center into a surreal landscape called forth from the collective memories of a generation's childhood.
Portraits of the morning cartoons that served as stand-ins for family and friends line the ornately wallpapered trophy room that thompson has created within the gallery; the warmth of the fireplace is palpable as you curl up on the pastel softness of a blue bear rug splayed out across the floor. thompson’s work recalls a time of brightly colored heroes and fuzzy saviors who, sometimes with nothing more than a catch phrase, helped us through our day and rooted our imaginations in 30-minute Technicolor smiles.
vanessa r thompson received her MFA at Art Institute of Boston in 2005. She has exhibited her work throughout Massachusetts, most recently at Somerville Open Studios; and in Washington DC and in Connecticut.

vanessa r thompson and Meredith Fitzgerald transform gallery 321 at Washington Street Art Center into a surreal landscape called forth from the collective memories of a generation's childhood.
Juicy roots in candy colors and electric telephone lines crisscrossing a lemon sky make up the other half of the battle. The functional and the fantastic come together in Fitzgerald’s installation of electronically stimulated organic forms. Layers of the real and the unreal alike bring the outside into the gallery.
Somerville artist Meredith Fitzgerald works in a variety of media and has shown her art throughout New England, most recently at Somerville Open Studios.
