Giessman, the special featured artist in “Rhythm & Hues” is the former drummer for the Del Fuegos, founder of Right Turn Recovery and survivor of a near-fatal brain aneurysm two years ago.

The BGA’s “Monster Misunderstood” exhibit is in collaboration with the Belmont Public Library’s One Book One Belmont town-wide read of Frankenstein. “Monster Misunderstood” is the featured inaugural show of the BGA’s new gallery partnership with the library. Artists have creatively interpreted Mary Shelley’s classic novel.
With themes that include nature, science, identity, prejudice, isolation, alienation and family, Shelley’s Frankenstein–though originally published 200 years ago–still has a resonance to the many difficult issues that face our world today.
The Belmont Gallery of Art invites artists to submit work for its upcoming exhibit.
