February Members’ Gathering

It’s time for our first in-person gathering of 2024! Thursday, February 15th at the Little Compton Community Center. Please join us for a pot-luck style dinner and gathering, followed by a special presentation by John Magnan, and his talk “Unexpected Connections”.

Potluck at 6:30 p.m.
Program begins at 7:00 p.m.

34 Commons, Little Compton, RI

John Magnan is a sculptor who’s been hanging around the South Coast for nearly 28 years. He came here from Annapolis Maryland to earn his MFA at UMass Dartmouth, and never left. Some of you might remember his open studio in the New Bedford Historic District, right behind the Whaling Museum. He worked there for 18 years, welcoming visitors off the street whenever his doors were open. Nine years ago, he and his wife Annie moved to Mattapoisett, where he continues creating art from his home studio.

As you will soon see, it’s a challenge to categorize John’s creations, as he moves between gallery work, traveling exhibits and permanent installations. Join us to learn how that happens, and how the making of art has itself influenced his ideas.
