Special Event
Reawakenings:
Emerging from
Winter into Spring
A special art exhibition benefiting BLT
Cahoon Museum of American Art
February 1 - March 11, 2012
Some years the shift from winter into spring is very dramatic, and some years it is very slow and subtle. The exhibition "Reawakenings: Emerging from Winter into Spring" will look at how artists portray the change from winter into spring in both rural and city settings.
Each year the Cahoon Museum of American Art starts the exhibition schedule with a benefit exhibition. All works are for sale and this year a portion of the porceeds will go to the Barnstable Land Trust.
Artists in the exhibition include Howard Bonington, Ellen Bradshaw, Jane Eccles, Jason Eldredge, Jane Lincoln, William J. Maloney, Susan O'Brien McLean, Alison McMurry, Patricia Melvin, Rosalie Nadeau, Sandy O'Connor, Jackie Reeves, Candice Ronesi, Vittoria Sault, Joni Scully, John Silver, Aleta Steward, and Timothy Jon Struna.
