Protection Art Exhibit

Protection: An Abstract Art Installation

Saturday, March 19th – Wednesday, March 30th

10am to 4pm.

Contemporary artist Sarah Dineen has amassed an army of painted helmets, shields, tubes, and microphone-trees lining the Great Hall of Hammond Castle Museum. Working in multiples to magnify the uncanny human and industrial presence of each form, she uses abstraction to suggest familiarity while leaving open to the viewer the possibilities of their own imagination. Dineen’s work celebrates the physicality of painting and its capacity to echo the properties of protective coverings like metal and bark. Themes of protection personal power, love, and connection run throughout the work.  This exhibit features nine large-scale sculptures and 32 paintings. All pieces are available for purchase and a portion of the proceeds will support Hammond Castle Museum.

Admission to the exhibit is free.  Guests will have limited access to the first floor of Hammond Castle Museum which will include the Great Hall and Courtyard. Parking is free.
