CURRENT EXHIBITION:

Our traditional holiday group show will open on December 13, and be on view

through January 25, 2025. This year instead of a show title we offered a prompt --

from Dr. Seuss: “You’ll never get bored when you try something new. There’s no

limit to what you can do.” We are excited to see the “something new” from our

very creative community.

Previous Exhibition:

Pat Badt’s upcoming exhibit, rechristened Reading Between the Lines: artist books

and paintings with text, opens on Friday, October 25, and will be on view through

December 7. The artist will host a reception on Friday, November 29, the day

after Thanksgiving, which will include an interview of the artist led by Monterey

resident, Sarah Varney. Please take a break from your holiday festivities and see

what the artist shares about her work! Bring your out-of-town guests and show

them the stimulating art scene we have in Monterey.

Thanks to the Monterey and Massachusetts Cultural Council for supporting our

artist talks and discussions, and to the Friends of the Monterey Library for

supporting the Knox Gallery.

 Badt makes artist books and is a painter. The artist asserts that her work is

“inspired by location, filtered through experience and sensibility.” She was born in

Santa Monica, CA, attended High School in NYC, received a BA from the University

of California, Santa Cruz (where she studied along with Knox Gallery co-director

Julie Shapiro). She was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with an

MFA. She is Professor Emeritus, Cedar Crest College, and has held additional

faculty positions at other colleges. Her impressive resume includes many artists’

residencies, solo and group exhibits in both America and Europe, and inclusion in

museum collections on both continents.

From her statement:

“Painting filters experience through sensibility. The daily routine and the act of

painting is my way of being here, by marking and remembering. I make visual the

quiet and overlooked.” She adds that to pay attention to color and texture is a

worthwhile activity.
