(Nilsson’s “Thatchbed Island on Middle Cove, Essex” is shown here.) Opening reception takes place at 6 p.m. Friday with a fundraising raffle. Tickets are $25, and all proceeds go directly to JOAH. Show runs through Oct. 6. Hours 1-5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. Friday has extended hours until 8 p.m.
