Ever feel like the people around you are too happy? The Power of Negative Thinking’s curator Michael Gaughran has created a special art show just for you- an exhibition of glittering artworks that explore pessimism in all its glory on display in the main gallery at the New Art Center. Surrounded as we are with commodified happiness, this show promises to be a breath of fresh air.

In this amazing two-for-one opening, also catch Boston legend and teacher Chuck Holtzman in an eponymous solo show in the Holzwasser Gallery at the New Art Center. On display will be works spanning his 30 plus year career, including his early drawings, sculpture, and more recent work. You would be remiss to miss it.

On view 1/16-2/21
