Somerville Art Fair & BowsGiving
Somerville Art Fair - Nov. Artist Showcase
Friday, November 21st from 7-9pm
Discover art in Bow Market’s beautiful event space Upstairs at Bow where you can explore, ask questions, and connect with local artists. Join us this Friday, Nov 21st for the fourth artist showcase in this event series and discover meaningful local art that make incredibly thoughtful holiday gifts.
This Friday’s showcase will highlights two local artists:
Halle Cooper – “My art practice is a celebration of vulnerability, gratitude, and love, deepened by the context of pain. Using vibrant colors and whimsy, I strive to create playful but heartfelt work exploring the overlap between joy and suffering. As I continue to establish myself as an artist, I'm influenced by a life shaped by chronic illness, as well as my background in environmental and marine science.”
Julia Emiliani – “The natural world is a source of inspiration for my artistic work – landscapes, plants, fruits, and the sky catch my eye the most. I am intrigued by the vibrant life in elements we otherwise pass by, overlook, or consume. I use my work as a means of exploring and documenting these elements. With rich color and a keen sense of natural light and shadow, I aim to convey the chromatic aliveness of this subject matter.”
SAVE THE DATE for the final Somerville Holiday Art Fair event on Saturday, December 13th from 12-4pm in Upstairs at Bow. This culminating event is a full art fair featuring all 2025 participating artists. It will be the perfect event to shop local art for a loved one this holiday season or bring a friend to the even and enjoy art together.
