| Sarah Connell Campbell

This incredible space in Cambridge, CAA@Canal, is hosting (and selling) a great collection of small works selected by Jurors Marc Gurton and Caitee Hoagland.

CAA’s Canal Gallery is by appointment only so please visit their page to get more details about how to see the work for sale. A word to the wise – this section of Cambridge is under major construction and I strongly recommend taking the T to the Kendall Station and walking over.

The Cambridge Arts Alliance has two other spaces that are open to the public without an appointment:

The Katherine Schultz Gallery at 25 Lowell Street, open Wednesday – Friday 12-4, and Saturday 10-2.

CCA @ University Place, 124 Mount Auburn Street, open Monday – Friday 10-6, and Saturday 10-1.

“Revel in the Wisdom” wins an Honorable Mention from Falmouth Art in the Autumn Juried Exhibition, on view September 5-29, 2025

| Sarah Connell Campbell

I am so pleased not just to be accepted into this lovely show but to have earned an Honorable Mention for this painting inspired by the autumn light on our pond. I really do draw wisdom from the evolution of the lily pads as they make the way through the season, from bright spring green to cool teal to green gold before they sink to sleep through the winter.

Juror L. Michelle Law explains that “artworks chosen for honorable mention are each outstanding examples of work in their respective mediums and show clear thought and creative vision in their creation.”

She says this small watercolor and gouache painting has “playful color and shapes that create a wonderful rhythm.”

This is a special show for a lot of reasons, particularly because the Falmouth Garden Club is creating floral arrangements that draw on the colors of the works that appear in the show. The arranges will be on view at the opening reception on Friday, September 12, from 5-7pm. I’m looking forward to taking photos and posting them next week.
