Joyce Wood will feature her award winning watercolor scenes and photos from around New England in the interior. And Lennie Malvone will round out the showing with his amazing collection of New England landscapes, seascapes and more. The gallery will be filled with a robust selection of New England Near & Far by these great local creators; many pieces will be for sale as well.(post show pickup)

"These artists are all amazing, very popular online and just a blast to hang out with in person." according to Tracy Shea from the Albion Cultural Exchange Committee and a co-producer of the show.

Admission is free of charge with an opening night reception featuring a meet and greet with the artists on Friday February 3rd from 5:30pm - 7:30 pm.

All attendees on Opening Night will be entered to win a $75 gift certificate to a Downtown Wakefield institution, Harrington's Pub.

The show will continue on Friday February 10th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm with a $50 gift certificate from our friend and neighbor Charlie’s on Main up for grabs and the final night of the show will be Friday February 17th with a $25 gift certificate from another friend and neighbor Public Kitchen.

Additionally, we would like to thank The Saving Bank, Laurie Hunt, REALTOR, North Star Realtors and the Wakefield Co-operative Bank for their continued support.
