Another magical experience awaits you at the Elusie Gallery:
STORYWEAR
An art installation by Lauren Leja
April 11 - May 4th with an
Artist Reception on Opening
Day, 5-8pm.
April is Poetry Month in Easthampton, and is with great pleasure that we welcome Boston's Lauren Leja to the Elusie Gallery.
Lauren has been constructing artist books for years, but the pandemic lockdown gave her the time to explore the materials she had collected for decades: snapshots, diaries, antique textiles, and re-examine the very essence of the book. Can a dress be a book if it is a vehicle for text?
These considerations led to the inevitable yet organic synthesis:
STORYWEAR.
For this series, Leja transcribed both her own short stories (often inspired by vernacular snapshots) and also anonymous diary entries onto vintage baby clothes.
Lauren says: "I am fascinated with found objects, the collision of modern and antique, but mostly with the constant dialogue between feminism and femininity."
More information on the Elusie Gallery page of your website.
Nature's Narratives
This extraordinary exhibition highlights the beauty and magic of nature. A brilliant display of artistic mastery and how the natural world communicates with us on a season to season, day to day and moment to moment basis.

"Diverse Visions / Common Bonds"
Photography Exhibition by the N2 Critique Collaborative
April 3 - 28, 2024
We are nine photographers who have been meeting regularly as a critique group since 2015. We have each pursued a variety of photographic genre: portraiture, documentary, multimedia, landscape, narrative, and abstraction.
Meeting together we have been able to take risks, expanding the boundaries of our idea of photography. What joins our diversity of visions is a commitment to each other, to pointed and supportive critique, and to exploring together our individual approaches to photographic art.
We have curated this exhibition to show both a coherent representation of individual work and the many ways photography has been pursued through our collaboration.
Photographers in Exhibition
Larry Brink, Lora Brody, Bill Davison, Mark Farber, David Hiley, Carol Krauss, Helena Long, Vivian Pratt, Maria Verrier

(R)evolution: Identity and Power in Puerto Rican and Diasporican Art
March 22 – June 8
The centerpiece and inspiration for this exhibition, which reflects upon colonialism and Puerto Rican resistance, is Miguel Luciano’s painting Cómo se dice Boricua en Inglés (1998), created in response to the centennial of the U.S. annexation of Puerto Rico following the Spanish-American War. The painting features a machete-wielding vejigante, the demon/trickster figure associated with the Loiza Aldea festival of Santiago Apostôl, in confrontation with Uncle Sam, alluding, together with smaller vignettes, to such issues as suppression of native language and culture, economic colonialism, and racial and ethnic stereotypes and hierarchies. Bringing works about these issues by other artists together with Miguel Luciano’s painting, the exhibition sheds light on Puerto Rico’s historic and contemporary challenges.
In addition to Miguel Luciano, other artists in the exhibition include Antonio Martorell, Juan Sánchez, Pablo Delano, Allora & Calzadilla, Yasmín Hernández, Danielle De Jesus, ADÁL, Omar Velázquez, and Ernest Lopez. A group of posters associated with the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (PSP) provide additional context.
This exhibition is supported in part by the Karen L. Chase Fund and a donation from an anonymous foundation.

Firehouse Gallery
Milford Arts Council’s Firehouse Gallery is now accepting applications for its Artist in Residence.
The residency was created with the intent of supporting aspiring or professional artists who are working to further establish their careers. MAC sponsorship of individual artists is intended to provide temporary support through the provision of low cost housing and studio space as a transitional opportunity. This opportunity is for 1-2 years, and no longer than 4 years (*the sublease contract is reviewed yearly).
The apartment will become available as early as February 1st, 2024.
The deadline for applications is April 30th, 2020.
A decision may be made before the deadline, based on suitable applicants.
