Local Art & Universal Appeal
Since its inception in 2001, the 2-mile corridor along Route 1 known as the Gateway Arts District has developed into a rejuvenated enclave full of eclectic shops, galleries, restaurants, and entertainment. We’re excited to provide local artists a place to showcase their work and a community that supports them through exhibits, markets, events, and advertising.

Tom Hill
Throughout Tom Hill’s career, He has employed a variety of media and contexts, from small collages to full-scale environments. While his work has often featured concrete imagery, he finds himself returning again and again to abstraction.

Tom Hill
Regarding the work in this exhibition Hill States, “This particular work stems from a love of abstract expressionism, filtered through my own experience and vocabulary. I am drawn to organic forms, intense color, and a range of surfaces. These surfaces are built up with translucent layers of paint and glitter, on paper. Controlled accidents play a joyful part in my painting process, resolved through a process of reworking, enhancing, and refining. The end pieces are infused with a sense of fluid and explosive movement, tempered with moments of restraint, and evoking reference that are at once microscopic and celestial.
miXt Food Hall’s rotating art exhibition spaces have an open call for local artists to submit their work for consideration. Please contact John Paradiso, Curator of Programs at Portico Gallery & Studios, at portico3807@gmail.com and include a link to your website.
