Middletown >> Nature!, a new exhibit, opens Saturday with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., and will be on view until Sept. 27 at the Middletown Art Center (MAC).
Who is master — nature or man? This new exhibit features work by 20 artists reflecting on the relationship between nature, humanity and art; highlighting wood, metal, earth, wax, or light; raw, fired, woven, beaten; sculpted, painted, printed, combined; captured on film or shaped into form.
It will also include the adjacent lot on the corner of 29 and 175 to showcase art work “in dialogue with nature.” MAC hopes to further develop the lot into a permanent sculpture garden, making an inviting addition to Middletown for residents and visitors to enjoy.
MAC receptions highlight art, music and community. In addition, MAC showcases other cultural events. Located at the junction of Highways 29 and 175 in Middletown, the old Main Street Pavilion – Gymnasium has been transformed into a space for contemporary art and performance events. The back portion of the building serves as a studio where classes in drawing, painting and ceramics are offered for children, teens and adults. Check our class offerings at MiddletownArtCenter.org. MAC is open Thursday noon to 6 p.m., Friday through Saturday noon to 7 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 6 p.m. or by appointment.
