Airwaves: Floating Sculptures and Paintings by Adria Arch, May 16 through June 14, 2025
Lake George, N.Y. - The Lake George Arts Project presents the exhibition Airwaves: by Adria Arch in the Courthouse Gallery from May 16th through June 14th. Arch’s suspended sculptures and acrylic paintings reference traditionally “feminine” imagery with expansive curves, pastel colors, and floral lines. The organic shapes and stereotypically decorative motifs are exaggerated to challenge expectations of femininity as they cast shadows, frame the colors of the walls, and sway in response to movement in the gallery. In the artist’s words “My early training in dance continues to influence how I think about space, movement, and the body’s relationship to its position. Each installation becomes a kind of choreographed environment where forms perform in space, creating temporal experiences that unfold as the viewers move through them.”
Arch, who currently lives and works in Arlington, Massachusetts, has had solo exhibitions at Danforth Art in Framingham, MA, the Art Complex Museum in Duxbury, MA, and the Hunt Gallery at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia. She has completed site specific murals at Lesley University's Porter Square building in Cambridge, MA, Stonehill College, and Danforth Art in Framingham, MA. Arch has been awarded residencies at Vermont Studio Center, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Sanskriti Foundation in Delhi, and in Auvillar, France. Her work is included in many private and public collections including the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Fidelity Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. In 2019 her work was featured at the Fitchburg Art Museum, and in 2020 at the Cahoon Museum of American Art. Most recently, Arch was commissioned by Google to do a room-sized installation. Arch showed installations at the Boston Sculptors Gallery, Brattleboro Art Museum in Vermont and the Danforth Museum in Framingham, MA. Her work will be on view at the San Luis Obispo Art Museum in 2025.
The artist will speak about her work at 7:00 PM during the Artist’s Reception on Friday, May 16th from 6:00 - 8:00 at the Courthouse Gallery.
The Courthouse Gallery is located at the side entrance of the Old County Courthouse, on Lower Amherst Street in Lake George, NY. During scheduled exhibitions, our in-person office and gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday 12:00 – 5:00 pm, Saturday 12:00- 4:00 PM.
