Abstract Expressionism in the 21st Century
Opening Oct. 19 at the BGA
Monster Misunderstood
Art Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
At the Belmont Public Library
October 1 to November 17, 2018
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.

Knitting Circle
Kimberly Becker will be
holding a “knitting circle” at the BGA.
Bring something you are working on and come hang out with us at the gallery! It can be something other than knitting — and Kimberly doesn’t knit — so no lessons.

Come if you knit or not!
