ALight on MARS

Friday, October 22, 2021

6:30-8:00 pm

As a special treat, just for employees of New England Biolabs, Manship Artists Residency is inviting you to a private viewing of the nocturnal exhibition ALight on MARS -- on the Manship Artists Residency + Studios.

ALight on MARS pays homage to some of the earliest "residents" at this property in Lanesville, Gloucester -- its fireflies!

Members of the Boston Sculptors Gallery were invited to create sculptures and installations centered on the theme of light in honor of the fireflies, and to highlight a new community science initiative to study and support beneficial habitats for fireflies on Cape Ann and further afield. 

This exhibition and related programming are supported by The Manship Artists’ Prometheus Circle of donors and with grants from Applied Materials Foundation and New England Biolabs Foundation; as well as by Cape Ann Tree Service, and the Local Cultural Councils of Gloucester, Rockport, Hamilton-Wenham and Beverly, programs of and funded by the Massachusetts Cultural Council


Participating Artists:

Chris Abrams, Adria Arch + Katheleen Volp, Jodi Colella, Murray Dewart, Chris Frost, Mags Harries + Lajos Heder, Michelle Lougee, Claudia Olds Goldie, Ellen Schön, Nancy Selvage, Jessica Straus, Marilu Swett, Kenson Truong, Leslie Wilcox, Christina Zwart.
