Upcoming Exhibitions & Events
Northampton Print and Book Fair
Free and open to the public, the Northampton Print and Book Fair will bring over thirty artists, publishers, and collectives to downtown Northampton for a one-day event. In its fourth year, the Northampton Print and Book Fair is Sunday, September 30, 2018 12pm-6pm at A.P.E. Ltd.
Saturday, September 29, 6:30pm, the Departure Reading Series will host a pre-fair “drive-in” style poetry reading at Pulaski Park. The curators of the Departure Reading Series will also be exhibitors at the fair, presenting the work of poets who have read in the series.
The Northampton Print and Book Fair was established to promote contemporary prints and publications, celebrating local talent while bringing regional artists and publishers to our community. Artists, independent publishers, and art collectives are invited to display and sell their work—including artists’ books, zines, chapbooks, mini-comics, screenprints, letterpress prints, etchings, photographs, photobooks, digital prints, and ephemera. Exhibitors come from across New England and New York, including both new voices and veterans to the fair. The NPBF was established in 2015 by George Meyers, Trevor Powers, and Esther S White with support from the Northampton Arts Council. This year, the fair is sponsored by Catlabs of JP.

The Space Between Two
Zea Mays Printmaking Biennial
October 5-November 4, 2018
Opening Reception Friday October 12 2018, 5:00-8:00pm
There is a quality of interest in “two” of anything. Cells duplicate, twins are born, mirror images speak a universal language, people marry each other, birds mate, lovers meet, we have two hands, two feet, binary code, and on, on, on... And there’s a special interest in what lies in the space between – what connects, integrates, repels. Both the fusion and tension that occurs in those spaces is fertile ground for artistic interpretation.
This exhibition explores the Space between Two through the medium of printmaking and takes many forms: prints, books, sculpture, textiles and video. Several pieces are large and hang from the ceiling—or are built as boats and the prints are the “skin” of the boat. Other prints are long and sculptural, presented in book form or in video. All of the prints are hand-pulled and created using non-toxic approaches to printmaking.
The artists chosen in a rigorous process explore themes of interpersonal relationships, time and space, metaphysical ideas, duality, and gender roles. Nature, formal artistic relationships, portraits, landscapes and more are the subjects used to explore the theme of The Space between Two. Exhibiting artists include: Amanda Maciuba, Angela Earley, Anita S. Hunt, Anne Beresford, Annie Bissett, Carolyn Webb, Liz Chalfin, Nancy Diessner, Edda Sigurdardottir, Elisa Lanzi, Erika Radich, Esther S. White, Jennifer Addas, Jennifer Gover, Joyce Silverstone and Annie Rogers, Judith Bowerman, Julie Rivera and BZ Reily, Kevin Pomerleau, Larinda Meade, Liz Bannish, Louise Kohrman, Lynn Peterfreund and Margo Temple, Marjorie Morgan, Maya Bajak, Meredith Broberg, Olwen Dowling, Peter Cangialosi, Rachel Chapman, Susan Rood, Tekla McInerney, Richard Turnbull
