Mattapoisett Museum Events

Inspiration: Time & Texture at the Mattapoisett Museum – Please join us for the opening of our special exhibition on Thursday, June 27at 5:30 pm at 5 Church Street in Mattapoisett. Inspiration: Time & Texture is an invitational art exhibit featuring works by local artists, inspired by the collections of the Mattapoisett Museum. Each artist was asked to draw inspiration from an object or aspect of the collection and create a site-specific installation imbued with self-expression. The exhibition is an homage to Mattapoisett’s visual culture with reverence for the handmade, as contributors work within their own styles and mediums to express personal, powerful visions of their local connections. Featured artists are Peter Michael Martin, Ryan McFee, Jo Mogilnicki, Tucker Aufranc, John Middleton, Anna Van Voorhis, Kent McCormack, Hoyt Hottel, Anthony Days, Dick Morgado, Katharine Staelin, Peter Mello, and Joy Mello. The Museum will be open in July and August on Fridays & Saturdays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm; in September on Fridays from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Questions?
