LDG invites the public to our New England Regional Juried Exhibit & 12th Annual Poetry Convergence. Inspired by the ancient phrase Inter Canem et Lupum-Between Dog and Wolf – this regional juried exhibit explores the space where certainty gives way to ambiguity. Through painting, sculpture, photography, fiber art, ceramics, and mixed media, artists examine the interplay of light and darkness, comfort and tear, and the known versus the unknown. Together, these works invite viewers to embrace transition, question perception, and discover the creative possibilities that emerge when familiar boundaries begin to blur.

‼️Opening Reception: October 3rd, 3 – 5 PM
12th Annual Poetry Convergence Live Poetry Reading Inspired by Artists’ Works: 5-7 PM

to experience and emotional and sensory exchange.
