Spring's Invitation: Expressions of the Natural World

Spring has arrived at the StoveFactory Gallery, and we are excited to invite you to our opening reception for the Spring’s Invitation exhibition, showcasing a curated group of local, contemporary art inspired by the natural world. Join us on Friday, March 28, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM for a celebration of spring through diverse artworks by local artists from Charlestown and the Greater Boston area. Spring's Invitation brings together over 30 established and emerging talents, offering visitors a chance to experience newly created works in painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Whether through abstract expressions or realistic depictions, each piece offers an invitation to embrace the beauty of nature. The show was curated and co-juried by Martha Starr (of Charlestown) and co-juried by Carol Schweigert (of Boston) and Pat McSweeney (of Charlestown). By purchasing a piece of art, guests will not only be bringing beauty into their homes and supporting local artists, but also contributing to the non-profit, fully volunteer-run Artists’ Group of Charlestown which provides high-quality and free art events for the local community throughout the year. Social Media: IG: @agc.stovefactorygallery Guests will have the opportunity to meet the featured artists, engage with their work, and enjoy complimentary light refreshments and bartended bar in a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re an art lover, collector, or someone looking for a unique experience, the Spring’s Invitation reception is the perfect opportunity to connect with the community and immerse yourself in the season’s spirit. We look forward to celebrating the arrival of spring and sharing this special art exhibition with our community! FREE PARKING: Park on street for free up to two hours.
