Current Exhibition
Curiously Gorey
March 3–28
An imaginative and playful exhibition inspired by the macabre wit, meticulous line work, and dark humor associated with Edward Gorey–esque sensibilities. Curiously Gorey invites viewers into a world where curiosity, narrative, and the slightly unsettling coexist.

Frame by Frame
Opening: Friday Mar 20, 2026
Entry deadline: Friday, Mar 13, 2026
Frame by Frame invites photographers to capture the pulse of life in the Cultural Center's new online exhibition. We’re looking for images that vibrate with motion, energy, and nighttime possibility—the blur of streetlights, the pulse of a crowd, your favorite city in motion. And most importantly, we want people in these frames: figures, family, and friends – in motion, gestures caught mid-story, characters who seem to continue living beyond the image. Imagine a single frame cut from a film – singular and separate, perhaps telling a fleeting story. All and every style is welcome!
Awards: 1st: $300, 2nd: $200, 3rd: $100
Resilient Sea
March 31–April 25
Entry deadline: Wednesday, Mar 25, 2026
The work accepted into this show will be up during Deb Ehrens' Marine Heatwaves exhibition. Deb worked with scientists Caroline Ummenhofer and Svenja Ryan from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute to create beautiful 3D sculptures that merge art and science to make work that is both stunning and informative. She conveys powerful messaging about our disrupted climate in an unforgettable visual and physical experience. The WHOI scientists she has collaborated with have researched how changing climates will affect our oceans. This work directly involves the communities on Cape Cod that are surrounded by coastline. This exhibit will hit close to home for many.
