Meet the artist, participate in an interactive arts activity related to the exhibit, and enjoy refreshments and light hors d’oeuvres. 

About the exhibit:

“X Marks the Spot” is a series of sustainable art by Connecticut-based artist Joy Floyd. Floyd transforms "trash," such as advertisements and packaging, to create colorful, abstract collages.

"The excitement is in discovering the riches in these commonly abandoned materials and honoring them with new life." - Joy Floyd

This show is part of the Greater Hartford Arts Council's Remembering & Repurposing exhibition series, which explores the preservation and recreation of memories and discarded materials into works of art from oil paintings to mixed media. 
"X Marks the Spot" is on display through March 25. For more information on 100 Pearl Street Gallery, visit LetsGoArts.org/Gallery.

Coming to Mercy by the Sea’s
Mary C. Daly, RSM Art Gallery 167 Neck Road, Madison, CT 06443 (203) 245-0401
A Kaleidoscope of Mercy
January 10th February 24th Opening Reception, Sunday, 1/31st 2-4 pm 


In honor of Pope Francis’ declaration of a Jubliee Year of Mercy in the world, the Mary C. Daly, RSM Art Gallery at Mercy by the Sea in Madison, CT (www.mercybythesea.org) is pleased to present its first art exhibit of 2016 entitled, A Kaleidoscope of Mercy. The exhibit features works by Sisters of Mercy, Associates and Companions in Mercy from across the Mercy Northeast Community. The exhibit is representative of life unfolding as God’s works of art. It begins with a beautiful ink drawing by Arlene Woods, RSM (Rhode Island) of Catherine McAuley’s tomb (Foundress of the Sisters of Mercy), in the courtyard of Mercy International Centre in Dublin Ireland, which is a pilgrimage site for anyone touched by Mercy in their lifetime. The second painting by Michele Aronica, RSM (Maine) is a watercolor, Opening the Door of Mercy. During this holy year of mercy, Pope Francis is inviting people to let go of all obstacles of passage to God. Mercy by the Sea blessed its doors praying that anyone who enters will experience the love of God who consoles, listens, par- dons, and instills hope. For in the words of Pope Francis, “A little mercy makes the world less cold and more just.”
