This week we're presenting the Umbrella Arts Center, Concord Art and the Bennington Museum.
April is Earth month and galleries and museums across New England are honoring the planet through their exhibitions. From shows looking at the relationship between water and life, to calls for art that ask artists to reflect on their place in the natural world, Earth month is represented in the region.
Make sure to update your Artscope Magazine App in the app store and leave a review to get the complete experience for our March/April 2023 issue, out now!
The deadline for the May/June Art Basel Switzerland issue of Artscope Magazine is Saturday, April 15.
As regulations regarding Covid-19 continue to change, please visit gallery or museum websites to confirm their current hours of operation.

The show pulls together over 100 non-juried works by a range of artists representing a range of mediums, all responding to the theme of "reflections." The gallery is open every day from 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. The Umbrella Arts Center is located at 40 Stow Street, Concord, MA. For more information, please visit here. | |

The exhibition shows artists who approach the theme in different ways through mediums as diverse as photography, paint and puppetry. Some artists are "listeners and note-takers" of nature, while others transform natural materials. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, 12 - 4 p.m. Concord Art is located at 37 Lexington Road, Concord, MA. For more information, please visit here. | |

Bennington Museum presents Nebizun: Water is Life, an exhibition that showcases the work of Abenaki artists of the Champlain Valley and Connecticut River Valley regions. Nebizun is the Abenaki word for water. The artwork in this show represents a connection to water and to the Earth. This show "draws its inspiration from Native American Grandmothers who have been doing water walks to pray for the water," according to a curatorial statement. The museum is open Thursday to Monday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. The Bennington Museum is located at 75 Main Street, Bennington, VT. For more information, please visit here. | |
