Business and Friendship in Art - Opening Reception
2025-12-12 18:00 - 20:00 | The James Library & Center for the Arts, 24 West Street, Norwell, MA, United States
Business and Friendship In Art – Opening Reception

These five artists began with a common bond: each was a student of Catherine Kehoe at MassArt. In 2019, they decided to stay connected through weekly Zoom meetings. What began as a way to maintain momentum in their painting quickly grew into a space for friendship, encouragement, and the sharing of ideas.
From these conversations, they began planning future workshops to attend together. Often, they reconnected at summer programs through MassArt New England, sometimes in the same class, sometimes simply sharing work and experiences afterward. Beyond workshops, they continued to meet at museums, galleries, and art association shows, exchanging feedback and support as their individual styles evolved.
Over time, busy schedules and the fatigue of virtual meetings made their gatherings less regular. Yet the foundation they built remains strong. Their friendship endures, as does their commitment to supporting one another and celebrating both shared histories and distinct artistic journeys.

"Fantastic Plastic"
2026-01-01 - 2026-02-28 | Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA, 02231, United States
Fantastic Plastic
by Donna Goes
On display at the Helen Bumpus Gallery of the Duxbury Free Library
Artist’s Statement
My art begins with plastic bags and mesh produce sacks, materials once destined for the landfill, which I transform into layered compositions. Fused with heat and reworked through cutting, layering, and stitching, these once-disposable materials are reborn as textured, vibrant, and playful images that shift between the abstract and the familiar. I love the idea that I can turn waste into something lovely to look at while rescuing a little waste from the landfill.
In addition to working with fused plastic, I explore collage, assemblage, painting, papier-mâché, surface design and jewelry. You can see more of my work at Luckylifestudio.com
About the Artist
Donna Goes has exhibited widely across the South Shore, including two recent solo shows: A Curious Mind at the South Shore Conservatory (2025) and Bags to Riches at the Paul Pratt Memorial Library (2023). Her work has also been featured in two-person exhibitions at Linden Ponds Art Gallery and the Dolphin & Clemen Galleries. Recognized for both innovation and craft, Donna has received numerous awards, including Best in Show at the Hull Lifesaving Museum’s Sea & Sky Juried Art Show (2023), multiple First Place and First Award Mixed Media honors from the Scituate Arts Association and Duxbury Art Association, as well as distinctions from the South Shore Art Center and Hull Artists.
As a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Donna spent much of her career as a toy designer for Hasbro before turning to her current medium: recycled plastic bags. Her artistic expression transforms ordinary plastic bags—materials destined for the landfill—into richly layered abstractions.
A year-round resident of Hull since 2011, Donna is an active member of Hull Artists, South Shore Art Center, North River Arts Society, Scituate Arts Association, Plymouth Center for the Arts and Duxbury Art Association. She shares her home studio and love of art with her husband, Paul.

North River Arts Presents
“Wandering through the Garden and Woods”

Join us in celebration of Suzette Lebenzon with “Wanderings through the Gardens and Woods” at the Jeanne Horan Gallery at Ventress Memorial Library on display January 10 – February 28.
Artist Statement:
Over the past few years, I have continued on my painting journey, allowing myself complete license to create the images that interest me and evolve through my process. Exploring reflective water surfaces and their surrounds of vegetation and woods, has captivated me. My paintings are my visual poems, expressing my wishes, feelings, and experiences on Cape Cod and around the South Shore where I grew. Color is my love language. I’ve embraced bold, expressive marks. I am not concerned with an accurate representative depiction of a specific place, but strive to document my memory of a particular walk or locale. The intimacy and peace in the woods delight me. The chaos of an unkept garden draws me in. I use predominantly acrylic paint, with some inks, pencil and collage materials.

Winter Juried Show 2026
at the Duxbury Art Complex Museum
February 1 – April 26, 2026
Reception: February 22, 2026, 1:00 – 4:00 pm

The Art Complex Museum has proudly hosted the Duxbury Art Association’s Winter Juried Show since its inception, making it one of our most cherished and popular annual exhibitions.
Founded in 1917, the Duxbury Art Association (DAA) is one of the oldest arts organizations in the United States. Established by Charles Bittinger, John Singer Sargent, and Frank Benson, the DAA’s mission is to support and nurture artists and to promote the visual arts within the community.
Over the years, the Winter Juried Show has evolved from a local exhibition, where artists once brought their work to the museum to be juried in person, into a national competition that attracts hundreds of submissions in all media. Jurors now select works online from across the country, reflecting the DAA’s continued growth and broad reach.
Monetary awards are presented in multiple categories, including the highly regarded Best in Show and People’s Choice awards.
To enter the 2026 Winter Juried Show, please visit the Duxbury Art Association’s website: www.duxburyart.org
