Orpheum Theater In Foxboro Opens Art Gallery With Local Pieces

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center opened a weekly summer art gallery featuring the work of Foxborough-area artists.

The summer gallery series runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., on Thursdays in conjunction with the Foxborough Farmer's Market and the weekly Concerts on the Common. There are three sessions of exhibits: the first runs until June 24, then July 8-22 and July 29-August 12.

The gallery is open to all and free to view. Members of the public are invited to visit open-house style, enjoy a beverage from the concession area, browse a variety of art and dabble in their own artistic experience. A free art activity will also be available for all ages in a sensory-friendly space.

As artists emerge from the coronavirus pandemic, and as the theater begins to reopen to the public, the newly redesigned gallery space provides an opportunity to showcase local artists.

Artists can provide their contact information with pieces they wish to offer for private sale. Local visual artists are encouraged to submit samples of their work to be showcased in a gallery setting inside the theater for a period of three weeks, either in July or August.

"The MRPAC is excited to welcome the public back into our reimagined community space and look forward to celebrating open doors this summer," said Catherine Miller, the Marilyn Rodman Center's executive director.

Artists interested in having their work featured should reach out to Jennifer Rathbun, the artistic director for the theater, at JenniferR@orpheum.org.
