Self-exploration and art The Body Project MV will present “Beyond the Body: Expressions of Identity: A Retrospective” on Sunday, July 17, 5 to 7 pm, at the Sailing Camp, Barnes Road, Oak Bluffs. The program, begun in 2003, was designed to help women build a healthy self-image and sense of confidence through artistic expression. To date, there have been three sessions, in which artist Basia Jaworska, psychologist Jane Dreeben, and Lyndsay Famariss have worked with a multi-generational group of women for a 10-week period. Each participant created a piece of art using the medium of her choice to express who she is. Through the process, the women not only created expressive artwork, but also moved into deeper self-awareness. Sunday’s show features all art created during the three sessions. Light and color at Gardner Colby The Gardner Colby Gallery in Edgartown hosts “The Color of Light” beginning with an opening reception this evening, July 14, 6 to 9 pm. One featured artist is Robert Cardinal who is known for painting solitary barns, lighthouses, and Cape Cod cottages with a distinctively bold use of color, light, and shadow with a dramatic effect. Sharing the show is M. Katherine Hurley whose landscapes range from soft, misty fields to brilliantly colorful scenes.
