SUMMER & THE SILENCE
A virtual exhibition presented by Juniper Rag.
There is a kind of silence unique to summer—the hush beneath high sun, the pause between growth and wither, the weightless breath before the fall.
Summer & The Silence invited artists to explore the stillness and subtle intensity of this season: its warmth, beauty, and the quiet truths it conceals.
The work reflects the internal or external landscapes of summer, not just in light and color, but in sensation and memory. This exhibition holds space for joy, nostalgia, longing, and reflection—and quietly anticipates the deeper questioning to come in our live fall exhibition.
The artists explore the emotional stillness and layered introspection found within the height of the season. While summer often conjures ideas of vibrancy and heat, there exists a parallel quiet: the lull beneath the sun, the long shadows in the late afternoon, the internal spaces we return to when the world outside is in full bloom. This exhibition asks: what is held in that pause? What does the warmth obscure, and what truths emerge in the silence it leaves behind?
From the shimmer of sun-washed surfaces to the abstraction of memory, from quiet protest to personal ritual, Summer and The Silence is a space for artists to hold stillness and sound in visual tension. This exhibition serves as a meditation before descent—into fall, into darker questions—where doubt, longing, and change will inevitably arrive.
Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly—through the personal, the seasonal, the metaphorical, or the abstract. Silence here can be emotional, spiritual, environmental, or imagined.

A Legacy Business of Worcester, MA and the 1st art supply store established in the US—est.1852.
"C.C. Lowell was founded in 1852 by Mr. O.C. White who began by selling basic paint and art supplies. Later the business was sold to an employee of Mr. White’s - the stores namesake - Mr. Charles C. Lowell.
In the early 1900's, the store was moved to Pearl Street - where it actually sold gasoline for the new invention called the automobile. In 1957 the business moved to Mechanic Street until 1973. The store remained in the Lowell family until the 1960's. From 1964 until 1987, C.C. Lowell was owned by different partnerships of people who had been employees of the original family. The store was then moved to 500 Park Avenue. In 2016 it moved to its newest location at 455 Pleasant Street.
It is the oldest art supply store in the country."
