This week we're presenting Newport Art Museum, New Bedford Art Museum and Armenian Museum of America.
These three exhibits examine cultural movements and socioeconomic issues through the lens of painting, photography and multi-media artwork. From the long history of LGBTQ+ people fighting for representation, shifting borders affecting the lives of many, or the rights of animals, these shows give reason to pause.
Listings and advertisements for the July/August 2023 issue are due on Thursday, June 15.
Make sure to update your Artscope Magazine App in the app store and leave a review to get the complete experience for our May/June 2023 issue, out now!

Armenian Museum of America presents Disrupted, Borders, a show curated by Ryann Casey featuring the work of Ara Oshagan, a "diasporic multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and cultural worker whose practice explores collective and personal histories of dispossession, legacies of violence, identity, and (un)imagined futures." The show "weaves together different geographies and spaces that considers the impact of borders (both visible and invisible) on our personal and collective history, past-present-future, and the disruption of dislocation." The museum is open on Thursday to Sunday, 12-6 p.m. Armenian Museum of America is located at 65 Main Street, Watertown, MA. For more information, please visit here. | |
