The Community Gallery is located in the lobby of the Attleboro Arts Museum’s Emory Street entrance. For over a decade the Museum has been pleased to offer this prominent gallery space as an exhibition opportunity for both promising and professional artist members. Community Gallery artist exhibitions span two-month periods.
This extended exhibition period provides member artists more exposure in the museum’s high traffic Community Gallery space. A two-month long show will also allow visitors to spend more time with the works on display and provide an opportunity for the scheduling of special group tours and visits with coinciding exhibits in the main gallery.

“When asked what I like to paint, I answer, all that moves me,” remarks Anatoly Dverin. Anatoly is known for his Impressionist style landscapes and portraiture that showcase his mastery of composition and playfulness with – more color and light.
In this exhibition, viewers will experience a curated selection of Anatoly’s landscapes that were created en plein air during the 1960s in Ukraine. This body of work selected by Abby Rovaldi, AAM Programs Coordinator and Community Gallery Curator and Matt Slobogan, Artist and Owner of The Preservation Framer, North Attleboro, MA represents a unique side of the artist that holds an expressive and soulful presentation of Anatoly’s talents.
Anatoly spent a great deal of time walking through the countryside of Ukraine passing rivers, mountains and fields with easel and paints inhand, always searching for a scene that spoke to him.
When that moment arrived, he would set up his easel and begin to paint. These ten works, although created over sixty years ago, still hold the beauty of the Eastern European landscape as well as the powerful memory of this artist’s journey and lifelong pursuit of painting the beauty in nature.
