Erik Lomen’s Mural Inspires Poetry Reading

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Alumnus Erik Lomen graduated from Montserrat in 2010. His most recent endeavor is a mural that covers 5 walls on 5 different floors located at 22 Federal St. (corner of Federal and Chapman) in Beverly. Each of the walls was simultaneously created and represents poets from the North Shore, including Jim Dunn (1st), Joe Torra (2nd), Jim Behrle (3rd), James and Amanda Cook (4th), and Gerrit Lansing (5th). All are still living and will be reading  Saturday, Sept. 24 at 5 pm at 22 Federal St.

Come enjoy refreshments, poetry readings, and great conversation from the North Shore poets that inspired Erik Lomen’s mural at 22 Federal St.

Visit Erik’s blog to see the progress of his mural and to get a better sense of how this poetry reading came to be!

“Resurrection Theme”, Kristine Williams

Montserrat College of Art student Kristine Williams will unveil her mural “Resurrection Theme”, along with other recent drawings and paintings, on Thursday evening, July 29, 2010 at 6:00 pm at First Baptist Church in Beverly. The public is invited to attend, to meet the artist and to enjoy light refreshments.

Kristine Williams is a senior at Montserrat College of Art. Kristine’s mural, done on the theme of the Resurrection, explores the subject through abstraction. The painting plays with movement, darkness that transcends into light, as well as with color, tone, and variation in brush strokes. Painted in acrylics on a wall created especially for the piece, the mural is planned to anchor a gallery space that will host more art over time.

First Baptist Church is located at 221 Cabot Street in downtown Beverly and is handicapped accessible. For more information, please call 978-922-3295 or visit www.fbcbeverly.org.
