bertawalker.comSpringing Forward | Berta Walker GalleryApril 18 - May 10, 2015Outer Cape Art Collective; “Springing Forward”Opening Reception Friday, April 18, 5 - 7 PMGallery hours after April 18, Thursday - Sunday, 12 - 5 and always by appointmentBERTA WALKER GALLERY is pleased to announce the opening of the Outer Cape Art Collective’s exhibition, “Springing Forward”, April 18, 5 - 7 PM. This exhibition includes two or three works of art, in a variety of mediums, by each the 18 members of the Collective. The collective connected over a three-year period as each reached out “to beat the isolation days of the Covid Pandemic” and pursued their interest in creating art. This is a group of artists living in different parts of the Country, all with Provincetown as a base. Fortunately, they found stimulating guidance and encouragement through artist/educators Laura Shabott and Alana Barrett. “As the weekly zoom gatherings expanded, our philosophy for leading these classes emerged into a special relationship where “we let go of the concept ‘I’m going to teach you something’, to ‘we enjoy working together as a community. We are equals, and Alana and I are the facilitators’”, noted Laura Shabott. She continues: “The goal of the collective is to ‘find our individual voices within a modernist context.’” Most members of the OCAC are now full-time artists who had previously distinguished themselves professionally as doctors, architects, journalists, scholars, educators, writers and business leaders. Highly respected in their respective fields, each always maintained an interest in making art. Instead of withdrawing, they reached past their comfort zones and learned new mediums, new forms of expression. “This feels like yet another expansion of the Provincetown Art Colony, which took hold with Charles Hawthorne in the late 1890’s." smiles Berta Walker. Thus, accompanying the Collective’s exhibition will be a selection of earlier Provincetown Masters, many who came to Provincetown in 1915, as war broke out in Europe, at the suggestion of Charles Hawthorne whom the Expatriate American artists met in France. Hawthorne himself had been encouraged to visit France through his student Oliver Chaffee, and the two were instrumental in anchoring the Provincetown Art Colony and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. “I’m very taken by the energy and willingness of this group of artists to keep expanding their horizons, just as the Expatriate Modernists did. There is a vulnerable confidence I respond to that may come from already achieving levels of professionalism in their chosen fields now led even further by creative talents that cry out to be acknowledged and brought into reality,” said Berta Walker. “I am moved by the cooperative interaction and support each member offers the others, much as the artists did for each other 100 years earlier.” Honoring Laura Shabott, co-founder of OCAC, and Administrative Assistant of the Berta Walker Gallery, the Gallery will donate 25% of its commissions from sales in both exhibitions toward Shabbot's upcoming exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis, Massachusetts titled “You Only Get One Body.” The exhibition opens October 9, 2025 and continues to January 25, 2026.I’m moved by how Laura Shabott opened herself, reached out, and explored new ways to create with others during the highly emotional and stressed years of Covid. For me, that’s the uniqueness of the Provincetown Art Colony — that it’s always been a sharing, supportive group of artists, and it’s cohesiveness is what anchors the Colony. This is the first exhibition of OCAC at Berta Walker Gallery, although we did present a Zoom exhibition during the height of Covid. Individually and collectively, many now exhibit their work in galleries and group shows nationally as well as on the Outer Cape.
