The MATV Art gallery has been running since the fall of 2002 and has recently opened a new section in Malden’s Media Center, located at 145 Pleasant St. They are displaying artwork by Brunnhilde Stein Costanza, who lived from 1928 to 2008. One of her daughters is a Malden resident and so this connection prompted the city to showcase Stein Costanza’s work. The MATV art gallery displays both solo and group exhibits of art from local artists. Stein Costanza’s exhibit is her first solo exhibit.
Stein Costanza lived and worked in New York City where she taught art to public school students. She explored ways of making art material and developing artistic process for her students. Her commitment to art education can be seen through her own experimentation with art form that is simple and inexpensive but still creative with varied expression.
The art gallery will be open from Mar.17 to Apr. 24. Monday through Thursday it will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m and on Fridays it will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Sunday it will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
MATV also has an unexpected new opening in exhibit space, which will be available from February to April 2016. To exhibit as a solo artist, you must be able to fill the gallery space, which is a long curving hallway, and a number of large spaces on the walls. MATV is looking for a typical size of 25-35 pieces, but the number may change depending on the pieces. Though all artists are welcome to apply to this space, MATV will be looking for artists that live, work, or have some sort of connection to the Malden community.
If you are an artist who is interested in displaying your work at MATV, please send an email with images or links to your artwork to Anne D’Urso-Rose, the Gallery Exhibition Coordinator, at anne@matv.org.
