Description

This exhibition features works by ten contemporary artists who are inspired by the visionary and utopian practices that distinguished the culture of 19 th -century New England.  The artists–who are from New England or have strong ties to the region–explore Transcendentalism, mysticism, experimental psychology, and agrarian communalism, through a wide range of media and modes.  In dialogue with these historical veins of thought and belief, their works embody a parallel, contemporary thirst for societal improvement and the restoration of human relationships with the natural world.
