SUMMARY:The Line of It
DESCRIPTION:Art in the Berkshires Presents an Exhibition Exploring the Expressive Power of Line \nGreat Barrington\, MA — Art in the Berkshires Gallery + Creative Studio is pleased to present The Line of It\, a contemporary exhibition featuring paintings by Pat Badt and Julie Shapiro\, alongside an introduction to the sculptural work of Neel Webber. \nThe exhibition will be on view July 31 through September 7\, 2026\, with an Opening Reception on Saturday\, August 1\, from 4:00–6:00 PM\, and an Artists’ Talk on Saturday\, August 8\, at 11:00 AM. \nFew visual elements possess the expressive versatility of line. At once descriptive and abstract\, line can suggest movement\, establish rhythm\, define form\, and organize space. The Line of It brings together three artists whose practices explore these possibilities through distinctly different approaches\, revealing the remarkable range of expression that can emerge from one of art’s most fundamental elements. \nPainter Pat Badt creates compositions built from disciplined vertical structures that balance repetition\, rhythm\, and subtle variations in color and surface. Her work invites close observation\, where accumulated marks generate both visual tension and quiet meditation. \nIn contrast\, Julie Shapiro approaches abstraction with energetic gestures and layered color\, allowing sweeping linear forms to move freely across the canvas. Her paintings and paper works celebrate spontaneity while maintaining an underlying sense of order\, creating compositions that feel simultaneously intuitive and deliberate. \nIntroducing sculpture by Neel Webber\, the exhibition expands the conversation beyond the two-dimensional surface. Constructed from reclaimed wood and mixed materials\, Webber’s sculptural assemblages investigate line as physical structure. His work transforms architectural fragments into carefully balanced compositions that blur the boundaries between sculpture\, drawing\, and design. \nAlthough their methods differ\, the three artists share an interest in line as more than a formal device. Whether painted\, implied\, or physically constructed\, line becomes a means of organizing space\, communicating rhythm\, and shaping visual experience. \n“The Line of It examines how one of art’s simplest elements can produce extraordinary variety\,” said Shany Porras\, founder and director of Art in the Berkshires Gallery + Creative Studio. “Each artist demonstrates a unique visual language\, yet together their work reveals the expressive possibilities that emerge when line becomes the central subject rather than simply a tool.” \nLocated in the heart of Great Barrington\, Art in the Berkshires Gallery + Creative Studio presents rotating exhibitions of contemporary regional artists while fostering community engagement through artist talks\, workshops\, and educational programming. \nThe public is invited to attend both the Opening Reception and the Artists’ Talk to meet the artists and learn more about the ideas behind the exhibition. \nExhibition Information\nThe Line of It\nExhibition Dates\nJuly 31 – September 7\, 2026 \nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, August 1\, 2026\n4:00–6:00 PM \nArtists’ Talk\nSaturday\, August 8\, 2026\n11:00 AM \nLocation\nArt in the Berkshires Gallery + Creative Studio\n8 Castle Street\nGreat Barrington\, MA 01230 \nFor additional information\, interview requests\, or high-resolution images: \nArt in the Berkshires Gallery + Creative Studio\ninfo@artintheberkshires.com

SUMMARY:Spiritual Essence of Water by Gail Gelburd
DESCRIPTION:To my friends\, collectors\, family and fans of my art \nWhen you live in an old mill surrounded by waterfalls and a river how can you not be inspired by the power and beauty of water. I am so honored that Sanctum Gallery (148 North Street Pittsfield MA) has invited me to do a large solo exhibition called the Spiritual Essence of Water and share this inspiration. \nOn Friday August 7\, 4-7 PM you are invited to come to the reception… before the opening of the Berkshire Museum\, a Tanglewood or Barrington Stage Performance\, or stay for Pittsfield’s First Friday event. There is always so much to do in the Berkshires! Step into Sanctum Gallery for an experiential exhibition of lights\, sights\, sounds and images as well as a place for meditation\, while Terry Keevil plays the oboe and duduk. \nWater nourishes the world and is necessary for all beings. It can transform into a solid sheet of ice or turn into steam. It purifies rivers and can carve mountains\, but it has no form as it runs through your fingers; it dissipates into the ground or evaporates into the sky. Its ephemeral nature and power embody spirituality in all cultures. It is our salvation\, resurrection\, fear and solace. It is a gentle pond\, a bubbling brook\, an endless wave or a powerful plummeting waterfall. The waterfall is analogous to the rhythm and journey of our lives. The roar and mist is a bridge between our physical and spiritual being. As the water crashes among the rocks and transforms the landscape\, the sound and form is mesmerizing. \nSpiritual Essence of Water (8/6-8/31) is an experiential installation of 2D and 3D works\, with art on the floor\, hanging from the ceiling\, and digital projections. Oceans\, rivers and waterfalls from New England\, the Berkshires\, NY\, California\, Florida\, India\, Japan\, South Africa\, or my recent trip to Iceland\, transform into paintings and sculptures. Beginning with photographic imagery\, I layer the image with encaustic paint. Many are then printed on fabric\, put on a motion sensor light box\, made into scrolls\, relief sculptures or life size figures that become one with the waterfall. The viewer will quickly see that we are the water\, and it is us. Come feel the power of water as well as the gentle sounds of a bubbling brook. \nAccompanying my art will be some small sand paintings by Tenzin Wangchuk. Representing the spiritual symbolism of Tibetan Buddhism\, Wangchuk takes the tradition of sand mandalas and butter sculptures and makes them permanent. Wangchuk was a senior monk in the art program for the Dalai Lama. We have worked together and shared ideas for almost 20 years and he has lived intermittently in the Berkshires. \nSanctum Gallery at 148 North Street is a program of Healing Arts Sanctuary. Its mission is to foster communal gesture\, connections\, reflection and healing. There will be programming throughout the exhibition. \nExhibition Details\nExhibition: Spiritual Essence of Water: The Art of Gail Gelburd and Tenzin Wangchuk \nLocation: Sanctum Gallery\, 148 North Street\, Pittsfield\, MA \nDates: August 6–31\, 2026 \nOpen Days: Thursday – Monday \nReception: August 7\, 4:00–7:00 PM (during Pittsfield’s First Fridays) \nEvents: Lectures\, guided meditation\, and music will be held during the exhibition \nContact: gailgelburd.com or Susan Jameson (413-854-8252)
