Lucid Ground
Form as Presence, Not Proposition
-Curated by Deborah Barlow
(Founder Pell Lucy Artist Collective)

The Fort Point Arts Community (FPAC) is pleased to present Lucid Ground, a new exhibition by the Pell Lucy artist collective. Bringing together artists from across the U.S. and abroad, the show highlights the Pell Lucy conviction that visual language is lucid, grounded, and inherently potent—an intelligence that arises from presence rather than proposition.
In a moment saturated with signals and interpretations, Lucid Ground turns our attention back to the vitality of form itself. The art in this exhibit is not illustrative or declarative; it forgoes the explanatory in favor of direct encounter. Instead of offering messages to decipher, these works invite viewers into a slower, more contemplative mode of looking. Matter, gesture, and structure hold the stage. Each piece unfolds through its own material logic, encouraging viewers to stay with what emerges—without hurry, without prescription.

For years the Pell Lucy collective has explored how non-narrative, materially attuned practices can open
portals into perception, attention, and the not-yet-named. Lucid Ground extends this inquiry, offering vivid
evidence that the language of form—quiet, resonant, insistently alive—remains limitless in its dimensionality.

The Fort Point Arts Community (FPAC) is delighted to host our neighbors, Artist For Humanity.

Since 1991, Artists for Humanity (AFH) has worked to bridge social and economic divides in Boston by placing creative power directly into the hands of young people. For decades, AFH has provided under-resourced teens with paid, professional art and design employment. These opportunities continue to foster self-sufficiency, skills, and empower teens through mentorship and real-world creative projects. 

As we celebrate our 35th anniversary, we look back on more than three decades of fostering the next generation of artists, designers, and changemakers. The impact of this work is reflected not only in the skills teens develop, but in the confidence and perspective they carry forward into their futures.

FLOAT takes its animating spirit from Mary Oliver’s poem “The Ponds,” in which the poet wishes “to be willing / to be dazzled / to cast aside the weight of facts // and maybe even / to float a little / above this difficult world.” Conceived as a vivid, liberating embrace for the community, the exhibition offers a deliberate sanctuary from the heaviness of contemporary life — a spark of joy to carry visitors from summer into fall.

The five artists interpret colors, shapes, and textures drawn from the natural world: petals caught in a breeze, shells swirling in surf, the colors of sunset captured in a jar, a tangle of clouds. United by a penchant for abstraction and movement, they diverge in their choices of material and process.

Together, their work makes a case for joy as serious matter — not escape from the world but a way to be fully in it. To float is to be buoyed, to give weight over to something larger and trust it to hold you. FLOAT offers that suspension: a room to breathe in, to wander, to let color and form do their quiet, expansive work.

Threads of Tea, a pop-up exhibition featuring new works by Siyi Yuan, will be on view at FPAC Art Space from July 15–17, 2026. An opening reception will be held on July 15, 5pm-8pm.

Working across sculpture, installation, photography, video, and mixed
media, Siyi Yuan explores tea as a vessel of cultural memory,
examining the relationships between labor, landscape, and identity.
Drawing from field research in tea-growing regions across China, her
practice reflects on the rituals, histories, and personal experiences
embedded within the tradition of tea.

Rather than documenting tea culture, Yuan transforms collected
materials and lived experiences into immersive works that consider
how memory is carried through everyday gestures and inherited
practices. Threads of Tea brings together a selection of recent
works that invite viewers to reflect on the enduring connections
between people, place, and cultural tradition.

Working Coast – Below the Line brings together three local artists that explore the Northeast coastal culture of New England as a form of craft. Centering maritime labor —the exhibition considers how histories of labor are shaped with and by the ocean’s changing landscape.

Situating the coast as both workshop and archive, the works draw on materials such as weathered tools, drifting buoys, and tide-worn surfaces to evoke a culture influenced by labor and ecological forces. Through these material traces and embodied practices, the exhibition reflects on how craft, the body, and environment intersect in the making of the working coast.
