Artist of the Month: June 2018 – Island Street Studios Group Show & MHL Makerspace

Wool Display

Island Street Studios Group Show

Island Street Studios at Union Crossing is a vibrant and diverse creative community of artists, artisans and entrepreneurs located in the heart of Lawrence’s historic downtown. Housed within one of the eco-conscious, redeveloped mill buildings, ISS is on the second floor with views overlooking the former Everett Mills on one side and the mighty Merrimack River on the other.

The artists featured this month include Leslie Cottrell, bestselling author, transition coach, speaker and founder of The Visionary Passage. Issa Van Dyk’s work (monotype prints) explores themes of spirituality from different traditions as well as relationships to our ancestors, other sentient beings, and our place within the overall web of life.
