David's recent work involves reclaiming disposable objects in mass to create two and three dimensional works. Pieces can involve tea bags, matchbook strikes, plastic cutlery, etc. These items are generally disregarded and ignored by the everyday person. Through the gathering of the discards of contemporary culture, he asks the viewer to reconsider the function and value of these objects. He also reassigns their value by re-contextualizing them by creating a piece of art from them. Besides utilizing the formal issues that interest him, based in the Minimalist school, he also is making a commentary on the disposable nature of contemporary culture.
Artwork from eighteen artists without formal training who use vibrant color to express their emotions and interests and demonstrate that ART IS FOR EVERYONE. The artists in “Visual Voices” paint together in three different groups in Northampton and Springfield, facilitated by Lucy Mueller Young, Co-Director of The Art Therapy Studio.
Come to Old Town Hall to hear Keller Glass perform acoustic roots-rock. Keller's music is heavily influenced by his experiences in the deep south. This ArtWalk, he will be playing an acoustic guitar, accompanied by a drummer.

Since it's my birthday, I gave myself the present of the pressure of mounting a retrospective of my artwork, including lots of new paintings and drawings, and sharing some of the stories connected to the pictures, via words or movement or song, in the concert.
Because of all those stories, I call the show 'Storytellers'. The work ranges from oil to graphite, pastel, ceramic tile, and painted wood.
It's a pretty wild assemblage of styles and approaches, but then, so's my life.
Grand Opening of our expanded Performance Space, next door to the gallery! Cellist innovator Stephen Katz performs, and joins guitarist Bill O'Haire for a set of blues, jazz and beyond. Christie Svane shares stories connected to the artwork through movment, word and song. Emily Edwards sings, along with other guest vocalists. And the new space is unveiled!
Events are added on an on-going basis. Stay up-to-date by adding the Art Walk to your website or news aggregator by clicking on the RSS feed icon at www.ArtWalkEasthampton.org
