Coming up

SOUTH GALLERY, Greenfield Community College. Selected Works by The Experimental Watercolor Group. Jan. 3-18. Reception Jan. 9, 4 to 6 p.m. Art club members will be exhibiting selected, recent works. Throughout the fall semester, the group met for weekly critiques and conversation in order to identify and advance personal, thematic interests within their work, as well as to share ideas relating to the art-making process. This exhibition reflects a shared interest in aqueous media, with emphasis on personal exploration of diverse subject matter, ranging from observational landscape to metaphorical abstraction. For more information: http://web.gcc.mass.edu/ The group will resume meetings at the beginning of the GCC Spring Semester and is open to all GCC students, staff, faculty and members of the community. For information about joining the group or questions about the exhibition, please email Jen Simms (Art Club Advisor) at simmsj@gcc.mass.edu.
