This eclectic gallery in the heart of Central Square is a haven for talented local Cambridge artists. When you walk into this sky blue exhibit space, you are treated to a colorful visual art explosion of paintings, photography, sculpture, drawing, pottery and mixed media. Founded in 1996 by photographer Tom Tipton, this cultural center of Cambridge also offers monthly poetry and short story readings, painting & drawing classes, and art receptions. This unpretentious space is a fun and friendly way to view art. Tipton?s dog, Woffie, and his cats follow you around while you browse, putting a smile on your face. Out of the Blue is also active in the community, holding benefits for many nonprofit and social causes including Cambridge?s On the Rise women?s assistance organization, the Bosler Humane Society, and the annual art display for the Black History Month Celebration at Cambridge City Hall. Tipton also organizes exhibits of the gallery?s work in businesses throughout Cambridge.
