ADDISON ART GALLERY
43 S. Orleans Road, Orleans, MA 02653 (508) 255-6200, www.addisonart.com Addison Art Gallery represents artists from across the United States, Mexico and France, and is home to many of the most sought-after Cape Cod artists. The gallery is often praised for its exhibitions and events and has collaborated with more than a dozen organizations including the Edward Hopper House Museum, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Provincetown Art Association & Museum and Truro Historical Society.
The gallery was chosen as the Cape Cod National Seashore’s dedicated art partner for the 50th anniversary of the seashore, as well as the 100th anniversary of the National
Park Service; created After Hopper, an ongoing venture celebrating contemporary artists inspired by Edward Hopper and the places he painted; is presenting Outermost Inspirations, an homage to Henry Beston’s The Outermost House this year; and will orchestrate In Thoreau’s Views, an artful look at Henry David Thoreau’s Cape Cod in 2019.
Among the gallery’s newest artists are Paul Batch and Jonathan Earle. This summer the gallery will open Paul Schulenburg’s 2018 solo exhibition on July 7 with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.
The exhibition will feature new paintings inspired by the working waterfront, with large-format paintings of working fishermen and women. “I recently met a young woman working on a local fishing boat, exuding youth, strength, grace and beauty. She inspired some favorite new work,” says the artist, who will also include paintings of panoramic outer beaches as well as cozy interior spaces. Plus there will be paintings inspired by his recent trip to France.
On August 18, the gallery will host a reception for its next After Hopper exhibition from 5 to 7 p.m. Artists and collectors flock to Cape Cod from all across the globe just to see the sites that Hopper painted. Half a century after his death, new generations continue to be inspired by his work and the area that this great American painter chose as his home. Acknowledging and ever grateful for Hopper’s influence, After Hopper celebrates the artists of today who continue to pursue Hopper’s path in their own unique ways.
