Are you an artist wanting to connect with other local artists? Are you stuck on a project or piece of art? The Artist Sessions at Wistariahurst Museum is the perfect opportunity for you! Linda Devine leads these sessions to help artists in western Massachusetts come together to create a supportive environment. Once a month, Wistariahurst Museum will host various workshops and sessions to help artists focus on their personal goals and enhance their practices by interacting with other artists.
Wistariahurst Museum is so excited to partner with Linda Devine and offer this space to welcome and support local artists. Artist Sessions are perfect for those looking to network, participate in artmaking, or share solutions to common problems. These sessions are geared toward helping artists of all skill levels and mediums boost their practices and potential. We are an artist-friendly space that encourages creativity and supports the growth of this region’s artists, which is why these sessions are offered at no cost and accessible to all artists seeking to elevate their careers. Artist Sessions at Wistariahurst Museum will culminate in an art show to be presented to the public in January of 2026, highlighting all of the amazing work of the artists who attended sessions throughout the year.
