Evangelists of the Obvious Opening Reception

June 4, 20224:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Engine’s gallery at 163 Main Street

Opening Reception: Saturday June 4, 4:00-6:30PM

Evangelists of the Obvious features three artists whose work aims to elevate objects and ideas that have been drained of all emotion and lost their profundity through over-use and collective cynicism. Through the reinvigoration of platitudes, these works play in the space between the sacred and mundane. The exhibition will include sculpture, printmaking, drawing, painting, and photography. Participating artists: Taylor French Benoit, Carter Shappy, and Rachel Romanski. Curated by Rachel Romanski.

Engine is and has been a focal point of downtown Biddeford for many years for so many artists and creative spirits. It is a go-to for me: a retreat, a destination, a source for connection and ideas and community.

Engine is a wonderful place to work surrounded by wonderful people who have infused so much love and light into the downtown of Biddeford. I cannot imagine a bright future in the town without this wonderful organization.
