Local photographer featured in ’30 under 30′ exhibit

Robyn Day, an Ashland photographer, is one of the artists whose work is part of arsenalARTS’ “30 Under 30” exhibit.

Billed as a fresh, dynamic exhibition of young artistic talent in the Greater Boston area, the show opens on Thursday, Oct. 4, and will run until Nov. 10.

A reception is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 18, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 6 p.m. The exhibit is free to the public.

“30 Under 30” presents a diverse look at emerging artistic talent in Massachusetts: 30 artists 30 years old or younger. With a large variety of media including painting, photography, glass, light installation and sculpture, this show is designed to encourage a dialogue between the artists and their audience in its mix of styles, techniques and artists’ attitudes and backgrounds.

Exhibitions Coordinator Aneleise Ruggles encourages the public to “discover the voices of the next generation of great artists.”

Six of the artists will be chosen to further investigate their point of view in a winter exhibit at the Arsenal Center.

Located in Watertown, the Arsenal Center for the Arts is a vibrant multidisciplinary venue that houses the 380-seat Charles Mosesian Theater and a 90-seat Black Box theater. Regular offerings include gallery exhibits, art classes and workshops for children and adults, musical concerts and literary/art discussions.
