Haley Art Gallery in Kittery, Maine, has opened its 21st season with the group exhibition "Shared Spaces," featuring works by Paul Burke, Sheridan Cudworth, Barbara D’Antonio, Jozimar Matimano, Bill Oakes, and Carlos Vega. The show runs through August, with gallery artist talks scheduled for June 13 and June 27. The gallery also offers special purchasing incentives for local business owners and designers, as well as a Victorian Tea-Time Art experience for groups.
The exhibition matters because it frames artistic collaboration as a response to global conflicts, emphasizing connection and care as a means to bridge divisions. As a small, community-oriented gallery, Haley Art Gallery’s season opener highlights how local art spaces can foster dialogue and support both emerging and established artists while engaging the public through accessible, experiential programming.
