Did you know that the words journal and journey are derived from the same root, the French word, “jour,” which means day? And while the original function of a journal was to record one’s day-to-day journey, you’ll find that modern-day journaling elaborates with elements of writing, drawing, painting, collage, and even printmaking. Take, for example, the 25-year practice of artist Susan Newbold, whose illuminated journal work will be on display in REVERIES: JOURNALING IN PLACE at City Gallery from December 3 – January 2. Newbold will be signing copies of her new book, Reveries: Journaling in Place — a compilation of favorite images and text from her journals — at a reception on Saturday, December 4 from 1-4pm.The exhibit is free and open to the public. City Gallery is located at 994 State Street, New Haven, CT 06511. Modified gallery hours are Friday – Sunday, 1pm – 4 pm, or by appointment. During regular hours, visitors are required to wear a mask and observe social distancing protocols. For the reception, proof of vaccination will be required for entry, and masks are required.
