 True Grit Art Gallery is thrilled to announce Plein Air Expressions, a solo exhibition featuring the vibrant outdoor paintings of Holliston, MA artist Obie Miller. Beginning with an opening reception on Saturday, October 4, from 6 to 8 PM and running through October 25, this exhibit showcases Miller’s transformative approach to capturing nature’s essence through his en plein air technique. Miller’s work embodies the spirit of outdoor painting, where he immerses himself in the environment, letting nature guide his brush. His pieces, completed in one to three-hour sessions, reflect a deep connection to place, marked by struggle and perseverance. With influences from his early studies and a reverence for the visible traces of his efforts, Miller invites viewers to step closer to life’s truth and meaning through his art. At the opening reception, attendees can meet Miller, hear about his creative process, and explore the stories behind his uniquely animated works. Adult refreshments will create a warm, inviting atmosphere, perfect for engaging with Middleboro’s thriving art community. Plein Air Expressions celebrates the power of art to infuse vitality into static form, offering viewers a window into the artist’s vivid perception of the everyday world. True Grit Art Gallery, located at 38 Center St, Middleboro, MA, is dedicated to showcasing inspiring art in our southeastern Massachusetts community. The exhibit runs from its opening night through October 25, with regular hours on Tuesdays from 11 AM to 4 PM, Wednesdays through Fridays from 10 AM to 5 PM, and Saturdays from 10 AM to 3 PM.

 True Grit Art Gallery is excited to bring local poets and visual artists together once again for Poetic Visions 2025, an upcoming exhibition centered around the innovative concept of visual artists responding to poetry. The opening reception will take place on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 PM at 38 Center St, Middleboro, MA, featuring live readings by this year's five selected poets. Complementary adult refreshments will be offered, and attendees will have the chance to view stunning artworks created by 60 registered visual artists while hearing poems brought to life by their authors. The event is free and open to the public.
Throughout July 2025, True Grit Art Gallery issued a Call For Poetry to poets across Southern New England, inviting submissions of up to three poems rich with vibrant imagery and strong metaphors for this planned art exhibition. From over 140 submissions by talented poets, five were selected for artists to respond to with original artworks. The unique twist? Each of the 60 registered artists was assigned a poem through a random lottery process, ensuring an equitable distribution of artworks per poem. This challenging selection process has sparked a diverse and imaginative collection, set to be exhibited alongside enlarged, printed versions of the chosen poems. The Opening Reception marks the premiere of Poetic Visions 2025, with the exhibition running from September 13 through September 27, 2025. While poets whose work was chosen will perform live readings at the opening , all submitting poets are invited to share their work at the planned Closing Reception on Saturday, September 27, from 2:00–5:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to explore the gallery and enjoy the thought-provoking synergy of poetry and art. ‘Poetic Visions 2025’ will run from its opening night through September 27th.True Grit Art Gallery is located at 38 Center St in Middleboro, MA. Regular gallery hours are Tues 11-4, Wed thru Fri 10-5, and Sat 10-3. |
