Beginning January 23, 2026, the Brickbottom Gallery in Somerville will open its doors to the artist members of Fountain Street Gallery. In “Many Paths,” an exhibition of painting, photography, and mixed media, sixteen artists introduce their work to the Brickbottom Gallery community. The partnership of two community-based arts organizations (Brickbottom Gallery and Fountain Street) unites artists and audiences, encouraging everyone involved to broaden their perspectives.

Artists were encouraged to present artwork that reflects their personal journey, shaped by their unique perspectives and lived experiences. The exhibition celebrates each artist's creative journey as the source of their art, and aims to highlight the finest examples of current work while fostering meaningful dialogue among the collective efforts.

Curator Vicki McKenna is a photographer known for her intimate black and white landscapes, utilizing historic printing techniques—primarily the platinum/palladium process—to emphasize subtlety, form, and texture in her work. She studied photography at the New England School of Photography, the Photography Atelier at the Griffin Museum, and Maine Media Workshops, and currently works from Riverwandering Studio in Marlborough, MA. She is an Associate Member at Kingston Gallery.
