Repeat/Repeat

Repeat/Repeat Incorporating a broad range of materials, processes, and ideas, the work of Deborah Davidson, Audrey Goldstein, Randal Thurston and Debra Weisberg reflects on how a dedicated studio practice based on iteration and curiosity evolves over time. Creativity is a process of transformation. Marks are drawn, stitched or cut, then erased, redrawn, restitched and recut while ideas are considered, altered and refined. Over time — an hour, a day or months, the work’s path and meaning become clearer. By the time a work is shown, its making and meaning become part of a larger story. Draped from a ceiling, hung on a wall or lain on a floor, it is both a record of our labors and an echo of ourselves. Artifact and talisman, part of us and independent from us, what we have made is now deeply steeped in memory.

Distillations Reception

Distillations is a juried exhibition of FPAC members exploring refinement, reduction, and the essential elements of artistic practice. Distillations&nbsp;is a juried exhibition of FPAC members that gathers together works emerging from a process of reduction—of boiling down, filtering through, and clarifying experience until only its most resonant elements remain. Like the alchemical act from which the exhibition borrows its title, each artist represented here engages in a practice of refinement: separating signal from noise, essence from excess, memory from distraction. Curated by Dorothea Van Camp &amp; Judy Glaven Managed by FPAC in partnership with BXP/Atlantic Wharf.

FLOAT

A summer group exhibition featuring: Adria Arch, Cicely Carew, Carly Glovinski, Jo Lobdell &amp; Eva Lundsager Curated by Robin Hauck FLOAT takes its animating spirit from Mary Oliver's poem “The Ponds,” in which the poet wishes “to be willing / to be dazzled / to cast aside the weight of facts // and maybe even / to float a little / above this difficult world.” Conceived as a vivid, liberating embrace for the community, the exhibition offers a deliberate sanctuary from the heaviness of contemporary life — a spark of joy to carry visitors from summer into fall. The five artists interpret colors, shapes, and textures drawn from the natural world: petals caught in a breeze, shells swirling in surf, the colors of sunset captured in a jar, a tangle of clouds. United by a penchant for abstraction and movement, they diverge in their choices of material and process. Together, their work makes a case for joy as serious matter — not escape from the world but a way to be fully in it. To float is to be buoyed, to give weight over to something larger and trust it to hold you. FLOAT offers that suspension: a room to breathe in, to wander, to let color and form do their quiet, expansive work.

FPAC Art Space: The Soul of Epirus

The Soul of Epirus is a program rooted in Traditional Greek music that brings together two Grammy-nominated composer-performers: Epirus-born laouto virtuoso Vasilis Kostas and Cypriot percussionist George Lernis. Grounded in the soulful clarinet traditions of Epirus and enriched by the improvisatory language of jazz, their collaboration bridges village melodies with contemporary compositional voices. Featuring the laouto alongside Mediterranean hand percussion, the program unfolds through swelling rhythms and deeply expressive melodies shaped by centuries of oral tradition. Together, they honor ancestral roots while crafting a vibrant, cross-cultural musical narrative for today’s global stage. Doors open at 2:30PM Directed by Jane Hua Thank you to our sponsors: PG/Gillette

FPAC Harbor Harmonies: Echos Without Borders

Accordionist Mattias Kaufmann and pianist Hua Ye met through a shared passion for world music that transcends the boundaries of classical and jazz traditions. Together, they explore a rich palette of global sounds — from the intricate modes of Greek traditional music to the passionate expressions of Argentinian tango, and from evocative neoclassical textures to their own original compositions. Blending improvisation with cultural storytelling, they are shaping a unique musical language that they dubbed as “Boston Folk” — a genre-fluid conversation between cultures, rooted in tradition yet constantly evolving. Their collaboration invites audiences on a journey through soundscapes that are at once intimate, expansive, and borderless. Thank you to our sponsors: Seaport by WS, PG/Gillette, and BXP/Atlantic Wharf for making these concerts possible and accessible for all
