BERTA WALKER GALLERY is pleased to announce the opening of the Outer Cape Art Collective’s exhibition, “Springing Forward”, April 18, 5 - 7 PM. This exhibition includes two or three works of art, in a variety of mediums, by each the 18 members of the Collective. 

The collective connected over a three-year period as each reached out “to beat the isolation days of the Covid Pandemic” and pursued their interest in creating art. This is a group of artists living in different parts of the Country, all with Provincetown as a base.   Fortunately, they found stimulating guidance and  encouragement through  artist/educators Laura Shabott and Alana Barrett.   “As the weekly zoom gatherings expanded, our philosophy for leading these classes emerged into a special relationship  where “we let go of the concept ‘I’m going to teach you something’, to ‘we enjoy working together as a community.  We are equals, and Alana and I are the  facilitators’”, noted Laura Shabott.  She continues: “The goal of the collective is to ‘find our individual voices within a modernist context.’”
