HCA Member Show 2021, Welcome to the Big Tent!

60 members entered the show this year from 28 towns and 4 states. We received a wonderful variety of works from Experimental to Classical Realism and everything in between. Juror Sarah Alexander selected 60 for display in the gallery. She is a Core Artist Member at Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA. Her work is in private collections and has been shown extensively throughout New England, as well as abroad. Sarah's work has been published by North Light Books, and she was recently a featured artist in the NARM Quarterly magazine.
