South Shore Irish Heritage Trail stop showcases art from Ireland and New England

The Aisling Gallery in Hingham, Massachusetts, has become a featured stop on the South Shore Irish Heritage Trail, highlighting the work of Irish-born painter Vincent Crotty. The gallery showcases Crotty’s oil paintings, which bridge his two worlds by capturing the rugged, pastoral landscapes of County Cork and Dingle alongside the coastal vistas of New England and Maine. Crotty, who immigrated to the United States 35 years ago, has maintained a long-standing partnership with the gallery, evolving from a struggling artist into a prolific figure in the local Irish-American art scene.

Rawya El Chab Tends to the Wounds of Lebanon's Civil War

Lebanese performance artist Rawya El Chab has debuted the second installment of her trilogy, "Crossing the Water," at The Brick in Brooklyn.

By embodying various roles—from suspicious neighbors to puppet-like politicians—El Chab navigates the complexities of life under military occupation and the persistent feeling of surveillance.
