Closing reception tomorrow night (Saturday, January 30) at the Washington Street Gallery.
The closing reception will feature live music by The Steve Gutenband and The Breakfast Project on January 30 from 7-10 PM with suggested $10 cover. Best in Show and People’s Choice awards will also be announced that night.
Some of the most dynamic contemporary artworks marry more than one technical approach. Creative Living Works is hosting an exhibition at Washington Street gallery that challenges the traditional boundaries of art making and involves multiple mediums. National, international and local artists will be displaying work that crosses creative fields in the subject matter, the medium or a combination of both.
The opening was a huge success, watch the 360 videos to feel like you were there! Or go the traditional route and see the photo gallery. Read about the show on Scout: SCOUT PICK: Art, Tech And Virtual Reality Meet In “Interdisciplinary” or the feature in the Somerville Times: Creative People are Made Not Born

Meet the Jurors
HEATHER BALCHUNAS

Some of her artistic influences include Georgia O’Keefe, Kandinsky, Edward Hopper, and Brian Froud. It is this diverse mix that motivates, inspires, and encourages her to explore.
Being active in the art community is an important part of growing as an artist. During her tenure at the Puppet Showplace Theatre, Balchunas found further creative stimulation through her position as an arts adminstrator. As a freelance graphic designer and fine artist, she paints murals for private residencies, creates sets for theatrical production, and designs promotional pieces for local businesses. To her, everything is relative. Whether it is puppet construction, theater, set design, or painting, one creative process influences another.
