AUTUMN IN HYANNIS

A New Exhibition by Artist Leslie Goldman

The Cultural Center of Cape Cod is pleased to present Autumn in Hyannis, a new, exclusive body of work by artist Leslie Goldman, created during her tenure as an Artist in Residence at Sketch Pad on the Cultural Center’s Hyannis campus in Autumn of 2025.

Dates on View: January 7th - February 28th 2026

Opening Reception: January 9th 5-7pm

Location: The Launch Pad Gallery, 307 Old Main Street, South Yarmouth, MA 02664

Statement: Developed during an immersive residency, Autumn in Hyannis reflects Leslie Goldman’s walking-based practice and engagement with place and seasonal change. Collected fallen leaves became both material and reference, informing seven cut-paper works and an accompanying installation that abstract organic forms through repetition, layering, and shadow, inviting quiet observation and reflection.

“Walking and collecting leaves is a way of mapping place through attention rather than

documentation. This exhibition is not a literal representation of the Hyannis landscape, but a

response to time spent walking, noticing, and working within it. The work holds traces of that

residency experience—of movement, seasonal change, and the small, often overlooked details that shape how we inhabit a place.” — Leslie Goldman
