Brickbottom Gallery, 1 Fitchburg Street, Somerville, www.brickbottom.com ESCAPE ARTIST, July 12 – August 18, Opening Reception, Thursday, July 12, 6 – 8pm. A Brickbottom Artists’ Association (BAA) Members’ Exhibition. The summer offers us a chance for escape from the "real world" by going on vacation, to the beach or to catch up on some light reading. This year the BAA member show theme is entitled Escape Artist. We'll exhibit work with subjects that deal with escape; get-a-ways, surrealism, fantasy narratives or invented worlds. Sometimes, the solitude in ones’ studio brings out the escape artist in all of us. Come and see how these artists visually depict their escapes.
