EXCITING THINGS ARE HAPPENING
Sculpting Dreams into Reality
We are thrilled to announce that we are a 2023 recipient of a Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Cultural Facilities Fund grant! The grant will be dedicated to the planning process of creating an accessible and affordable community ceramics studio and program at Artspace! The studio will be designed to serve multi-generational audiences in Greenfield and broader Franklin County communities.
Exciting work lies ahead, and we need your help...

Coming Up at Artspace...
Distractions - GCC Student Show
Group Exhibition
Reception: Thursday, May 9th, 5p-8p
On view May 3rd - 31st at the Artspace Gallery
Showcasing work by Sam Kuusinen, Ava Machowski, Suzy Q Groden, Isabella Lonardo, Madeline Keating, Mars, + Erin Shabunin
​
This exhibit is the culmination of work by a small group of GCC student artists, corralled by Joan O’Beirne of the Art Department and instructor of our seminar class.
While brainstorming an idea for the show title, the group grew increasingly distracted – and decided that the word “distractions'' truly encapsulated their collective experience. Distraction – not necessarily being negative – is an opportunity to explore and experiment with their art. The work you see represents a struggle between avoiding distraction and embracing the chaotic nature of creating.
