A new exhibition at New Alliance Gallery, titled "Multiple Exposures," showcases the work of 17 photographers from the Boston area in the local Somerville arts space. The exhibition draws from a diverse pool of artists at Mass Art, the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), and the Lumentation photo lab, celebrating the unique perspectives within Boston’s photography scene.

Curated by Duncan Wilder Johnson and Matt McWilliams from New Alliance Gallery, along with Javier Molina from Lumentation, the photographs were selected by the artists themselves. This selection reflects their subjects and visions, providing an authentic insight into the interests currently circulating within the local photography community. The exhibition includes a wide range of themes, from portraiture and experimental processes to cityscapes and personal documentary work.

This event continues New Alliance Gallery's mission as a multifaceted community art space, which also hosts musical performances, electronic art installations, and offers affordable workspaces for local artists. Look forward to this and future events and exhibitions at this converted industrial building, located between Market Basket and Greentown Labs.

 The opening reception for the show will take place on February 21st at 7 PM and will feature live music from Otis Shanty and Time and Place.

An annual series presented by New Alliance Gallery

Synth-tember is an event series designed to embrace the intersection of art and science. Our focus is on interactivity, connection, and community.

Curated by Jess Baggia of New Alliance Gallery and Allison Tanenhaus, Synth-tember 2024 features works that inspire and delight the human experience through technological means. Our premiere featured art from a plethora of mediums: video, light, kinetic sculpture, projection, and audio.

Our theme:
Work hardening, or strain hardening, is the strengthening of a metal or polymer by plastic deformation. Work hardening may be desirable, undesirable, or inconsequential, depending on the context. This strengthening occurs because of dislocation movements and dislocation generation within the material's crystal structure.

It's our yearly Holiday Party with a new selection of art from local artists and live performances in the New Alliance Audio live room from RONG and MIRACLE BLOOD.

How has your perspective changed during the year and a half? The work presented in “A Fixed Perspective” is a dialogue between the pandemic, isolation, lock-downs, separations, and political disorder, impacting how you perceive the world around you. Have you emerged from this pandemic with a new visual perception? Have you developed, regressed, or remained? Has this new vantage point influenced the way you think or work? Artists selected for this show have created work during 2020-2021 that speaks to their personal connection to this experience. Together, we have experienced a global-sized shift that has impacted each of us differently, yet simultaneously. The future is unknown; however, each of us now has a perspective on this collective experience. In “Forced Perspective”, we explore how art can help communicate, through hardship, helping us relate to uncertainty. It’s here, in this work, that the time taken from us is returned to reflect, share, create, and move forward into the uncertainty, with a sense of community and understanding.
