The Northampton Center for the Arts presents Wallflower Wawa in the Barn Door Gallery. Paintings and wall sculptures by Nickolas Roblee-Strauss and Jacqueline Strauss explore the melodramas of less obvious party guests. Through the use of color, pattern, and a playful reinvention of form, this exhibit invites us to celebrate and encourages us to examine the perimeter, revealing the blossoms that emerge from the walls.
The Quabbin Art Association, in partnership with the Northampton Center for the Arts, presents New Voices, New Perspectives in the Split Level Gallery. This exhibition features 20 emerging artists from nine universities and colleges in the Connecticut River Valley area who are pursuing careers in the visual arts. Come and see the talented artists gathered by QAA in this new initiative, designed to create opportunities for these emerging creatives!
