We are so pleased to announce a multimedia exhibition featuring the work of thirty young artists hailing from or currently living in or around the Berkshires. The Berkshires, at large, are replete with young talent that goes underrepresented in the public sphere. This show creates a forum for this work to be shared.
The show will run from March 16th, 2017 - April 30th, 2017, with an opening reception on March 19th from 4-5:30 p.m, with refreshments and live music.
Twenty-three visual artists will be featured in the show: Taylor Aldrich, Simon Ban, Erin Barry, Woodson Black, Jake Borden, Camille Breslin, Cate Crowley, Abigail Fenton, Tyler Gasek, Marie Humes, Julia Keenan, Teruko Kushi, Mika Mintz, Carlo Mongiardo, Hannah Plishtin, Kelly Potter, Nicole Rose, Miriam Ross, Emma Rothenberg-Ware, Eli Shalan, Luke Shalan, Sarah Steadman, and Sara Wallach.
During the show, several live events will be held including live music by Nico Wohl and Julian Weisman at the reception (March 19th), a poetry reading by Steven Amash (April 2nd), a musical performance by Haux, and Simon McTeigue (April 8th), a Theory Kitchen tasting menu by Theo Friedman (April 14th and 15th), INKLESS storytelling (April 22nd) and a collaborative dance performance by Emily Glick, Mika Mintz, and Lexie Thrash with digital design by Sam Okerstrom-Lang (April 29th).
30under30 is a colorful display of the young talent found right here in the Berkshires. The show exhibits a vast spectrum of creativity via a motley collection of artists and art forms including photography, painting, sculpture, dance, music, poetry, digital design, and more. The work ranges from an exploration of the female form culminating in drawings by women from around the globe to an investigation of something ruined and the crisis in a moment. Some work seeks to uncover the nuances of mundane processes. Other work seeks to question that which makes us human. As a whole, 30under30 showcases the remarkable creative versatility of our local youth.
30under30 will run through April 30th, 2017. Most of the artists will be present at the opening reception on March 19th, from 4 - 5:30 p.m., with live music by Nico Wohl and Julian Weisman. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. every day. For additional information, please contact Mika Mintz by email at mikamintz@gmail.com, or by phone at 413.717.0384.
