Beyond the Realm: the art of Charles Miller and Gregory Stone

About this event

In the 1970s, Northampton was a very different place. The economy had seen a decline, and many main street storefronts had shuttered. Rents were at rock bottom, and artists could find Titanic-sized studio space for barely a couple of clams. The 5 colleges provided the cultural yeast and sustainable studio space that catalyzed a sudden transformation, producing the artful hub Northampton is today. Relationships blossomed as artists exchanged ideas and developed techniques. One of those relationships was between the painters Gregory Stone and Charles Miller, who, in that 70s creative incubation era, had studios in the same building on Main Street and formed a lifelong affiliation. This exhibition demonstrates that friendship. Public Reception: Friday, November 13, 6 pm to 8 pm
