6:30 PM-8:00 PM, Fitchburg State College: Hammond Campus Center, Hammond Art Gallery, 160 Pearl Street, Fitchburg, MA Inside Outside is an exhibition of Gillian Christy’s newest work consisting of sculptural wall pieces inside the Campus Center Art Gallery as well as outside--across the campus. This body of artworks is based on the familiar objects that one may view on a daily basis in existing architecture or industry. Christy states, “These objects’ shapes intrigue me enough to recreate them, skewing their perceived form, function and size. It also strikes me as humorous that these objects could potentially retain personality traits! Clearly, I create an imaginative world but often the underlying themes illustrated within the piece are serious in content.” Cost: free Through Tuesday, Dec 1.
