Monotype Guild of New England:
40 Years of Unique Prints
(40th Anniversary Exhibit, Sixth National Juried Exhibition)
Through August 31, 2025
Reception: May 11, 2025, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

For four decades, the Monotype Guild of New England has championed the art of the
monotype and monoprint, fostering a vibrant community of printmakers dedicated to the
expressive potential of one-of-a-kind prints. MGNE celebrates this milestone with
Monotype Guild of New England: 40 Years of Unique Prints, a national juried exhibition
showcasing the breadth and innovation of contemporary printmaking.
Featuring works from 73 artists across the United States, this exhibition highlights the
dynamic and ever-evolving nature of monotype—a process that embraces spontaneity,
experimentation, and individuality. Unlike traditional printmaking techniques that
produce multiples, monotypes and monoprints yield singular impressions, making each
print a distinctive exploration of form, texture, and color. This exhibition exemplifies how
traditional printmaking techniques can be reimagined in a contemporary context.
Internationally acclaimed printmaker, Karen Kunc’s expertise and artistic vision make
her uniquely qualified as juror for this exhibition. She selected the prints in the exhibition
from 645 works submitted by 238 artists. Kunc is Cather Professor Emerita of the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she taught from 1983-2020. Her many accolades
include a Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Scholar Awards to Finland and
Bangladesh, two NEA/MAAA awards, and the 2007 Southern Graphics Council
International Printmaker Emeritus Award.

Reception: May 11, 2025, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, and the expansive vision of monotype and monoprint artists throughout the United States, the Monotype Guild of New England (MGNE) will hold its Sixth National Juried Exhibition at the Art Complex Museum.

The juror, Karen Kunc, is an internationally-known artist, teacher, and curator who will put together a superlative show that will present the nation’s best monotype and monoprint art.

The exhibit will celebrate the very best of the unique print in all its myriad and modern forms, from works on paper, to sculpture and mixed media, ranging in size from intimate to larger-scale installations.

“We are so thrilled to be returning to the Art Complex Museum during this, our 40th Anniversary year,” says president Rebecca Leopoldina Torres. “This exceptional gathering of work deserves to be shown in a space where it can be fully enjoyed.”

Founded in 1985 by a small group of New England artists, MGNE now has a national membership of more than 300 artists and has curated over 100 exhibitions.

Celebrating Sano Gofu: 50th Anniversary of Sho-fu-an
2025-05-04 00:00 - 2025-08-31 23:59 (America/New_York) | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
Celebrating Sano Gofu:
50th Anniversary of Sho-fu-an
(Wind in the Pines Tea Hut)
Through August 31, 2025
Reception: May 11, 2025, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

This exhibit displays the paintings, sketches, and architectural plans created by Japanese artist and designer, Sano Gofu. Gofu also designed the museum’s tea hut, Wind in the Pines (Shofuan).
Gofu created numerous watercolors of botanicals and locations in Japan, as well as painted fans, scrolls, and screens. A student of the famous nihonga painter SeihōTakeuchi, Gofu graduated from the Kyoto Municipal Arts and Crafts College. He became a sumi-e painter: a Zen painting technique that focuses on nature using ink washes, ink brush and watercolor paint.
Through the years, many of these works were given to the Weyerhaeusers and the Art Complex Museum’s collection now contains more than 70 objects by Gofu.
The exhibit includes about half of the paintings by Sano Gofu in the collection, as well as photographs and drawings of the tea hut, which demonstrate his design process. A painted screen that Gofu created is on view in the Founders Room.
Museum co-founders Carl and Edith Weyerhaeuser became friends with many of the consultants who guided them in amassing over 8,000 objects that make up the Art Complex Museum collection. Kojiro Tomita, Curator of Asian Arts for the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, was among the first advisors the Weyerhaeusers got to know. Tomita helped to guide their selections of Asian arts and ceramics.

Duxbury Art Complex Museum - Tom Smith: Relics
2025-05-11 00:00 - 2025-08-10 23:59 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
Tom Smith: RELICS
May 11 – August 10, 2025
Reception: May 11, 2025, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

RELICS showcases biomorphic, home-grown sculptures and derivative paintings. Grapevine, tree, and shrub cuttings discarded for the season are used to immerse viewers in a transformational refuge of stillness designed to restore the way we perceive Nature.
Abstract artworks suspended above, sprouting below, and attaching to walls evoke plant forms that coalesce to produce a serene counterbalance to the bustle of life. As a result, the sculptures and paintings respond to one another like living things, compelling viewers to participate.
Repeated patterns intrinsic to each piece invoke a sense of calm and order. Strategic placement creates shadows that enfold the gallery and viewers, spurring curiosity and contemplation. As the show title implies, RELICS hints at the amplitude of possibilities for resurrecting overlooked remnants while offering a new aesthetic value as art.

Plymouth Center for the Arts presents "A Different Vision 2.0"

A Different Vision 2.0
Registration Begins
May 21, 2025
A Different Vision returns to Plymouth Center for the Arts in a newly imagined way. Artists and audiences alike are encouraged to see, hear, touch, smell, interact with and even manipulate the art.
While a Different Vision began as a show specifically for the visually impaired, the show for 2025 endeavors to expand how all viewers experience art through exploration beyond traditional viewing. The experience will challenge the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art, while also emphasizing touch as a fundamental part of our daily lives and overall sensual experience.

Laura Harvey "Heat Wave"
2025-07-01 00:00 - 2025-08-31 23:59 | Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA, 02231, United States
The Helen Bumpus Gallery presents
Laura Harvey’s “Heat Wave”

Artist Statement
As a mixed media artist, I create intricately layered collages on a variety of substrates: from canvas and traditional birch panels to hollow-core doors. To intuitively create each piece, I draw from an ever-evolving collection of media and vintage ephemera, building layers using paint, papers (found, purchased and hand painted), acrylic mediums, graphite, photo transfers and more. I derive a storyteller’s satisfaction watching each piece evolve during the creative process – from the initial blur of an idea to a completed visual.

Imperfect by Christine Marohn at South Shore Conservatory
2025-07-01 08:00 - 2025-09-28 17:00 | South Shore Conservatory, 1 Conservatory Dr, Hingham, MA, United States
SSAC presents “imperfect”, a solo show of Christine Marohn’s glorious work. On view at the South Shore Conservatory, July 1st through September 28th.

Artist Statement
My painting is a reflection of my efforts to make something beautiful from a chaotic, confusing and often insecure 30 years as a military wife and stay at home mother.
I use words layered with translucent color to symbolize the calls I have always heard to return to art; the imposed self-criticism for letting painting go for so long; the insecurity I feel returning to it.I want the viewer to see a beautiful painting but continue to look deeper – to really see how my work is composed through courses of words, color and personal autobiography.
My life has had many layers – many good, colorful layers and experiences that has made me into who I am today, an artist returning to herself.
About the artist
Christine is an artist working in her chosen home of Duxbury, Massachusetts. She is a life-long artist with a degree in graphic design and illustration who enjoys using her classical training to create paintings that push color and illuminate the subconscious. Christine considers herself one of the lucky ones – among her greatest joys is the love for her husband, EJ, her grown and accomplished daughters Meaghan and Lauren as well as her delightful Havanese, Pippa.
