In Quincy, a collective of artists, both member and consignment, along with their patrons all work together on a non-profit basis to create the Main Street Artists Gallery located at 436 Main Street in the Clinch Building. The Main Street Artists work in all media and are featured in group or individual shows throughout the year in the main portion of the gallery, while the other artists continue to exhibit in a separate part of the building.
Co-directors Lara Eichenberger and Carla De Boer love to keep the gallery interesting and always changing. In September, a two week show will feature Tammy Masters, Jane Strohmaier and Norma Lewis in a joint showing of their life drawings in various media. An artist’s opening reception for them will be September 3. A second opening, on September 24 will feature the concrete sculptures of Greg Kinne and the collage boxes of Beth Aitken in a joint show.
A web page featuring all 34 artists can be found at www.mainstreetartists.net. Or you can learn more about further openings by going to www.plumasarts.org and going to their calendar page.
