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:
Begin to begin your New Year's Eve celebrations, meditations, ministrations, and ruminations in an artful and tasty way at the Washington Street Art Center, December 31, from 2–5 p.m.! Gretchen Ann Graham will be closing her photography exhibit, 'My Blue Heaven,' for 2011 at Gallery 321 to the music of Wanda Jackson, Etta James, and variations of the song she borrowed for her show title. Light fare and beverages will be on hand, as will Nature Prints' nontoxic cyanotype paper and water, for your art-making pleasure (sunshine willing!) 'My Blue Heaven' features film-based color and black & white photographs spanning quite a bit of time, illustrating themes of solitude and connection. It is Graham's offering to a better year ahead, to everyone who is leaving this year to their respective Fourth watches, and to those who have been her silver lining in a difficult year. The color prints are made from transparency film (some of which are no longer in production) and the silver gelatin prints were made in WSAC's darkroom. |

The heart of my photographic exhibit is a simple wish: that by displaying some of my favorite images in this lovingly and creatively refurbished Gallery 321, viewers will smile and know that, even when the blues hit hard, and counting loss as a companion has become almost a habit, beauty and sympathy are never far way. Truthfully, they are always around the corner, if one dares to peek. |

Each month we have a different show on display every Saturday 12-4 in addition to various events.
