Esta exposición de arte es la primera de este tipo que se presenta en nuestra galería\, y cada obra va acompañada de piezas musicales que la inspiraron. Surgió de un debate sobre la necesidad de exposiciones interactivas que puedan captar múltiples sentidos\, al tiempo que nos aseguramos de programar esta exposición de manera que las personas con discapacidad también puedan disfrutar de la experiencia completa. Las obras de arte de Erika son intrincadas y multidimensionales\, lo que las convierte en una perspectiva única de cómo el arte se presenta de muchas formas. Escuchará a artistas como Rihanna y Public Enemy\, con códigos QR disponibles para enlazar con una lista de reproducción que podrá escuchar mientras ve la exposición. Revelación abstracta: Una experiencia visual y sonora espera inspirar a los visitantes a pensar de forma diferente sobre el arte y cómo se puede experimentar. \nTanto si le gusta el arte como la música\, la exposición Revelación Abstracta le proporcionará una experiencia especial e inspiradora que no puede perderse. La exposición permanecerá abierta los lunes (de 10.00 a 14.00) y los martes (de 16.30 a 18.30) del 6 al 27 de febrero de 2024.

People may think these buildings are plain and lacking in warmth and color\, but I find them anything but. Quite the contrary\, I find the mills to be stately\, powerful representations of so much of the city’s shared history. \nHave you ever looked at the grandness of our mills? Every time I pass one\, I see something different. It could be the shape of a window\, the color of an entrance\, the slope of the roofline\, or the reflections in the canals.  In painting these simple parts of our city\, I think of the many waves of people who have come here to work in those mills and to make Holyoke their home. There was struggle; there was failure; there was success; there is beauty. ”     \nPlease join us for a display of Lora Barrett’s most recent 2023 Holyoke Mill Paintings. \nPaintings available for purchase.
