Curated by Manship Artists Sharon Bates and Donna Hassler, our biennial exhibition Heavenly Earth includes some 70 pieces installed throughout the Starfield landscape and inside the Manship Barn Studio. The thirteen juried artists have responded with a range of compelling works that reflect both the thematic prompt and the natural and cultural significance of this historic setting. Work by Laraine Cicchetti is also presented in her memory.

 

We invite you to attend the opening, to register for a visit, and/or to visit one of the many special programs offered in connection with this exhibition. Please join us in thanking the exhibition Sponsors: The Prometheus Circle of the Manship Artists Residency, Bruce J. Anderson Foundation, Cape Ann Tree Service, Carroll Steele Insurance Agency, and Cape Ann Savings Bank.
