SVAC is delighted to partner with Salem Art Works (SAW) to bring Force, an exhibition that brings some of the most progressive contemporary artists working today, to our galleries and outdoor spaces. For the indoor gallery exhibition, curator and SAW Director of Administration Pearl Cafritz is selecting "art depicting and interpreting forces both seen and unseen at play in contemporary life." SAW Executive Director Anthony Cafritz, curator for the outdoor sculpture exhibition, says the pieces “encompass a wide range of forays and investigations into artistic expression and how physical objects exist in the landscape. The exhibition represents a collection of contemporary expressions of what is possible.” Artists included in the Force exhibition include SAW staff, board members, exhibitors, and other partners from across its 16 years of programming, residencies, and existence as a sculpture park. Almost 50 different artists will be included in Force, which will encompass sculpture, painting, prints, mixed media, glass, ceramics, and more.
The domestic terrorist who killed Claire Yiang’s brother 9 years ago writes begging her to visit him in prison. When Claire arrives, the killer claims he’s a changed man - thanks to the help of her brother’s ghost. Now she must decide whether her brother’s murderer is capable of redemption, or just attempting to impress the parole board. A riveting exploration of domestic terrorism, Redeemed is a chilling and surprising two-part audio drama. Acclaimed playwright Chisa Hutchinson and Resident Artist and three-time Festival director Jade King Carroll join forces for the first audio play in Dorset’s inaugural Stage Free Series.
