Nancy Gruskin: Opening Reception Wednesday, July 1, 2026 5-7pm

A special mini exhibition featuring new works by Nancy Gruskin in the Annex Water Street Studio @ 8 Water Street. 

A chance to see Nancy's new works together. Her work is so many things at once. It's bright and dark, simple and unknowable, flat but spacious.
It's new and yet old: so contemporary yet it alludes to many beloved art historical moments with just a few simple forms and gestures. It's a magic trick to do this so deftly that it looks easy.

Nancy Gruskin (b. 1968) lives and works in Concord, Massachusetts. She received her B.A. in Art History and Studio Art from Connecticut College and her Ph.D. in Art History from Boston University. Her current work explores the arrangement of objects, both real and imagined. She is interested in the connection between recording and collecting and is influenced by museum installations, pattern books, samplers, and cabinets of curiosities. Gruskin has exhibited throughout the United States, she also teaches painting, collage, printmaking, and sculpture at a number of institutions, including the Concord Center for the Visual Arts and Black Pond Studio.
