‘What Was That?’
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, by appointment on Mondays. Through Feb. 6. Elizabeth Moss Galleries, 251 Route 1, Falmouth. elizabethmossgalleries.com.
Painter Eva Goetz honed in on her artwork over the past several months of pandemic-induced isolation. The result is the extraordinary exhibit “What Was That,” which you can view online or in person in Falmouth. Elizabeth Moss Galleries explains that the goal of the show is to visually report, reflect and transcend the hurt and confusion playing out within us all. Once you see Goetz’s work, you’ll see that it’s mission accomplished. Additionally, 10 percent of all sales from the show will benefit Spurwink, the Maine nonprofit that provides behavioral health and education services to adults and children.

Well-known art curator June Fitzpatrick is stepping out of retirement for a moment to lend her keen eye to Mayo Street Arts for two pop-up exhibits, the first of which is happening now. You’ll see paintings by Michel Droge, Justin Rachel, Christopher Patch, Shannon Rankin and Richard Wilson. The former Nissen bread building has become a hot spot over the past few years for the restaurant, brewery and retail scene, and this show is yet another example of why it’s worth visiting. The second Fitzpatrick-curated exhibition will be from Feb. 5 to 26 and will feature works by William Manning and Noriko Sakanishi.
