Run by MCLA since 2005, Gallery 51 showcases work from emerging and mid-career contemporary artists from around the world. Hosting several exhibitions and events each year, the gallery also offers students valuable hands-on experience in gallery operations.
MOSAIC EventSpace: 49 Main St., North Adams, Mass.
Scenes from The Center for Resourceful Living is an exhibition of photographs that highlight the 50-year anniversary of the founding of The Center for Resourceful Living. Curated by Sharon Wyrrick, this exhibition offers a peek inside this adventurous program at the then North Adams State College from 1975-1980.
The exhibition features photographs from the Randy Trabold Collection, donated to Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts by Ida Trabold, images from MCLA’s Freel Library archives, and additional photographs from participants in the Center’s programs in the 1970s. Coupled with the exhibition, a documentary film by Wyrrick, Did You Put Milk in the Bucket?: A Tribute to the Center for Resourceful Living, will be shown at 7 p.m. Oct. 11 in Murdoch Hall 218. Both the exhibition and the screening are free and open to the public.
Opening Reception: Friday, Oct. 17, 5–7 p.m.
Gallery 51: 51 Main St., North Adams, Mass.
This exhibition is an invitation to the in\between — a proximal zone of time and space that holds the tensions and potentialities between what was, what is, and what can be. Ecologies of the In\between is curated by Dr. Victoria Papa, Associate Professor of English & Visual Culture.
