The Mary Cosgrove Dolphin Gallery opens Off The Beaten Path, a counter-culture, open-call art exhibition juried by artist Robb Sandagata.
Off The Beaten Path features artwork that contains roots within underground culture, and that inspires a vast variety of topics and aesthetics that focus on the more non-traditional art practices that are not typically seen in conventional fine art galleries. The show takes any artistic styles residing in the “underbelly” of the art world and places them within the spotlight.
Jurying artist Robb Sandagata was born in New Haven, Conn., and has lived in New York, Arizona, and Massachusetts. Sandagata’s work combines narrative, comics, grotesque figures, experimentation, and biomorphism while referencing pop culture, punk, and various styles of music. He studied sculpture and liberal arts at Sarah Lawrence College and later earned a master’s in secondary education. He currently lives in Lowell, Mass.
