FRANKLIN STREET ART SPACE

FRANKLIN STREET ART SPACE
A contemporary art gallery focusing on emerging and established practicing artists whose work demonstrates a willingness to experiment with form, medium, materials, concept and subject matter.

FSAS is a joint effort by Russell Persson and Tammy Ackerman. The gallery opened in October 2007.

Visit our Flickr to see photos of openings and events. Open late for Biddeford's ArtWalk every last Thursday of each month.

Ordinary Relevance is an exploration of "the striving for" or the thirst for "progress" that our civilization appears to be consciously (sometimes unconsciously) adopting as an absolute path of existence. The show focuses on anthropomorphic depictions of animals as metaphor, or animals and people in ordinary situations, to shed light on how even the most ordinary of situations just might have an unseen relevance.

Stop in during the month of September and see how this artist is striving for some sense of relevance...by creating things as opposed to sitting in the is-ness of things, looking up and counting shooting stars, satellites or passing asteroids.
