Linden Street Gallery presents 'Sanctuaries'

BOYLSTON — The Linden Street Gallery at Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary presents selected artwork from Cynthia Frost in the exhibit, "Sanctuaries." This exhibit opens Aug 3 and will be on view until Dec. 21.

Frost’s formal study of visual art began at the Rhode Island School of Design with an intensive focus on portraiture and figuration with Anthony Janello. In 2002, she received her MFA from Boston’s School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Tufts University. Frost’s work has been exhibited throughout New England, on the West Coast and internationally. She is the recipient of the Fitchburg Art Museum’s Saara Parker painting prize. Her work is held in numerous private and corporate collections and she has taught painting and drawing at Montserrat College of Art, DeCordova Museum School and SMFA at Tufts University.

The mission of the Linden Street Gallery is to instill an appreciation for the reflective and contemplative experiences of nature by engaging its visitors through gallery exhibits. Nestled in 45 acres of forest, the Linden Street Gallery is located within the LEED Gold Trailhead House of Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary at 690 Linden St. The wildlife sanctuary protects wetland and woodland habitats that provide homes for all wildlife, and there is a 1.5-mile trail loop for outdoor exploration.

The sanctuary honors nature through wildlife protection, art exhibitions focusing on nature, outdoor tours, educational programs, and wildlife releases in collaboration with the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University. The Linden Street Gallery within the Trailhead House is open Saturday through Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 3 pm. The sanctuary’s trails are open Saturday through Tuesday from dawn to 3 p.m. during the winter and from dawn to dusk the rest of the year. Limited parking is available at Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary during the hours trails are open. Admission to Summer Star Wildlife Sanctuary is free.
