Gloucester MA—ROCKY NECK ART COLONY (RNAC) announces the opening of We hold these truths…American Stories. The exhibit presents a visual narrative of what it is to be an American now, in all its voices, rich with complexity. We hold these truths coincides with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, with hopes of fostering understanding and appreciation of the multiplicity of American experience and giving visitors a chance to see themselves reflected in it. The work submitted was juried by Angela Alés, a professor of art at Middlesex Community College in Lowell, Massachusetts and a painter exhibiting internationally.  The public is invited to celebrate the show at the Artists’ Reception on Sunday, July 12th from 4-6 PM. View the art, meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments, beverages and ever-lively conversation.
