October is always a special month in the Loading Dock Gallery show schedule. This year LDG presents Living in America, a New England Regional juried show. Juried by Patrick McCay, a professor at the Institute of Art and Design at New England College, the selected artists use this time of change and pre-election discussion to reflect on their personal stories and what our great experiment means to them and answer the question, “What does Living in America mean to you?” Using their varied mediums and unique perspectives, their responses are on display for all to experience.

Whether born and raised in America or a recent immigrant, artists tell their stories with impressions of their personal experiences, images of hometowns, vacations, family, home, work, traditions with a focus on what it means to live in America: freedom, justice, community, equality, opportunity, and patriotism. They may even examine some of its darker aspects.
Following our Artist Reception for Living in America, local poets will create, and present poems inspired by works in the Gallery Show.

The annual Loading Dock Gallery show, Living in America, will be on display October 2 through October 27, 2024 at Loading Dock Gallery, 122 Western Avenue, Lowell, MA, Noon-5:30 pm, Wednesday-Saturday, until 4pm Sunday. Reception 3-5pm, Saturday, October 5, 2024. More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com.
