MANCHESTER, NH – “Together” features artworks by Cassidy Thurber, Michael Cirelli, and Keith Spiro. In this exhibition, each artist uses the medium of photography to explore communities: familial, lifestyle, and creative.
Together opens with a reception Saturday June 14, 2025 from 5-7 p.m. at See Saw Art. The public is invited.
See Saw Art is a 120 square foot exhibition space located within Mosaic Art Collective at 66 Hanover Street, Suite 201, in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Why is this show called TOGETHER?
When I plan an exhibition, I intend to create an experience that both showcases each artist, and makes a larger conversation. When the idea was pitched, and thinking about one artists’ artwork, I thought instantly along the lines of community, and how photographers are uniquely positioned to capture community.
What made you bring together these photographers when you don’t often have just photographers in a See Saw Gallery show?
In most exhibitions at See Saw Art there are a number of different mediums featured. I wanted to go in a different direction with Together, and really spend some time contemplating the unique ability of photographers to be so closely embedded with their subject matter.
What impressed you the most?
These photographs are very high quality and demonstrate the craft of each artist. I intentionally chose artists at different stages of their careers; a recent college graduate, an accomplished educator, and a retired professional, to examine the through line of their abilities and perspectives.
Surprised you in a fun way?
Each artist’s collection is created during a sort of down time, the in between spaces of life. In Cassidy Thurber’s artworks, she is finding these moments and compositions while spending time with her family. In Michael Cirelli’s artworks, the skateboarders are between tricks, working though their projects, at a moment of stillness and contemplation. In Keith Spiro’s artworks, we find the musicians during rehearsal. These behind the scenes moments delight me, and show moments that are private and important to understanding the subject matter.
How might the audience react/respond to the art?
The audience might react and respond to the artworks by discussing the pieces with the artist at the reception, or following the artists online to keep up with them. These artworks might also inspire the audience to look at the beauty and necessity of their own communities and how they can share and learn from them.
