The Gallery at Briarwood will host is third public art exhibit in a series of six for 2016. The exhibit is titled "The Worcester Plein Air Painters" and it will run Sunday, May 15 through Thursday, June 30, Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Exhibit

Worcester Plein Air Painters was launched as a group in an exhibit at the Bijou Theater in Worcester Center in June of 2003. Leading up to that, members had sent years painting together and the group had been part of the Worcester State Life Drawing sessions and some are part of the Princeton Portrait Group.

The group is structured loosely and is tied together by the desire to "capture the light on a particular day in a specific location at certain hours during the day."

Artists featured in the exhibit include Robert Aiello, Worcester; Emilie Astell, Holden; Sharon Bahosh, Lancaster; Eleanor Beatty, Worcester; Bruce Dean, Princeton; Sam Lalos, Worcester; Jean Murphy, Southbridge; Joanne Quinn, Princeton; Linda Sinacola, Sutton, and Sid Solomon, Worcester.

The exhibit will also include paintings by Bob Duffy of Worcester as a tribute to him, he died last year.

Other Exhibits

Other exhibits that Briarwood will be hosting include outdoor painters; July: Sid Solomon, watercolor painter; September: Barbara Brosnihan, painter and teacher; and November: WWI Poster exhibit presented by Briarwood resident, Gordon, Lankton.
