Named Hauser & Wirth Menorca, the gallery is located on a small island off the coast of Mahon in the south of Menorca. It is housed within a formerly derelict hospital facility that was built and occupied by the British Navy from the early 1700s.

Jim Wysong at SFCC’s Visual Art Gallery | Exhibitionism

Robert G. Mull 7 days ago

Photographer Jim Wysong combines a love for geology, photography, and the outdoors in Southwest Monochromes, an online exhibition of his black-and-white photographs of the region’s landscapes, ruins, and other subjects. Before joining the staff at the Santa Fe Community College, where he oversees academic operations in the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Arts, Design, and Media Arts, Wysong was a frequent visitor to the region. “I love this land for its beauty and majesty,” Wysong says in a statement. “I also have a deep respect and affinity for the Native people of this area, and for the traces left behind by their ancestors.

Robert G. Mull 4 weeks ago

When outdoor clothing shop Denali shuttered its location in downtown Branford two years ago, it left a hole in the community. Until a new tenant moves in, the Branford Arts & Cultural Alliance (BACA) has stepped in to transform the space into a pop-up art gallery for the summer.

Among its initiatives to make art accessible for all, the alliance is putting the finishing touches on the pop-up at 1004 Main Street. The BACA Gallery will host 35 area artists showing all kinds of media from photography to paintings and sculpture July 1 through the end of August. Hours will be Wednesdays through Saturdays, 11 to 5.

Frank Carrano, alliance president, said they organized a holiday window display in this space in December, with the landlord’s blessing, that was very popular. They also displayed art in the streetfront windows for a few months this year before getting permission to use
