Previous shows
The mission of the Harold Stevens Gallery, open to the community, is to showcase emerging and established artists within the broadest definition of the visual and performing arts. This includes a venue for performances, screenings, and educational events.
Below are our previous shows.
Living Womb by Annabelle Edwards-Stoll
Artist Annabelle Edwards-Stoll is a sculpturist finishing their senior year at Clark University. This exhibit, Living Womb, is an exploration of reproductive rights. Through their textile and sculpture work, the Harold Stevens Gallery is transformed into a Womb where visitors are encouraged to respectfully interact with the work and converse with one another about difficult topics. This exhibit also features a resource wall with donations from Project Priceless, Planned Parenthood, and Clark University’s Reproductive Access Club.
Three supporting artists from Clark University are also featured in the show: painter, Liz Cowart, photographer and filmmaker, Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui, and poet Ketshaly Philome.
Edwards-Stoll encourages all visitors of the Living Womb to, “Open the softer parts of yourself. Be vulnerable. Be respectful. Be yourself and communicate. Acknowledge all the parts that make you whole, all the parts that brought you here.”
Living Womb by Annabelle Edwards-Stoll is on view from November 27 to December 14.
Opening reception for this immersive experience is on Saturday, December 7 from 4 to 6pm and will feature an open mic.
Gallery hours: Mondays 12 to 3pm; Wednesdays 2 to 4 pm; Thursdays 1 to 5 pm; Fridays 11 to 2 pm; Saturdays 11 to 1 pm; or by appointment. Free to all!
Pariah by Don Hartmann
Pariah as defined by the Cambridge English Dictionary: “a person who is avoided or not accepted by a social group, esp. because he or she is not liked, respected, or trusted; an outcast.”
Don Hartmann is a pop expressionist who investigates subversive narratives through his incongruous mise-en-scène paintings. Based in Worcester, Massachusetts, he has been exhibiting since 2001 both in Boston and Worcester galleries. His subject matter is derived from an array of people in his personal life, US pop culture and photographs appropriated from mass media interchangeably mixed with his own photos. (You can check out the artist’s home page here.)
Working in acrylics and mixed media, the paintings in this gallery are most recent and completed in 2024.
The Harold Stevens Gallery is proud to display 4×4 foot works from October 5 through November 23.
Closing reception: Saturday November 23rd, 5 to 7pm.
Gallery hours: Mondays 12 to 3 pm; Wednesdays 2 to 4 pm; Thursdays 1 to 5 pm; Fridays 11 to 2 pm; Saturdays 11 to 1 pm; or by appointment. Free to all!
Jazz Now: by Kofi Poku
Professional photographer Poku’s debut exhibition highlights a breathtaking inventory of jazz musicians from Boston to New York City. Selected from over 20 years, Poku discreetly documented emerging and masters in the world of jazz.
Here’s what Worcester Magazine says about this show:
“When Kofi Poku of Worcester photographs jazz artists on stage he’s hoping to capture an important perspective of the performance.
The exhibition features rising and seasoned artists on the contemporary jazz scene. The passion of the performance is alive and well in Poku’s photograph exhibition “Jazz Now””.
