Greetings!

This week we're presenting Kingston Gallery, Hera Gallery and the Newport Art Museum.


These three shows analyze the "grey areas" of life, from the experience of living as an immigrant in the United States to the issues of race, ethnicity and other facets of the human experience.


Make sure to update your Artscope Magazine App in the app store and leave a review to get the complete experience for our July/August 2023 issue, out now!
