Sept 24 - October 25, 2009

51 Main St. North Adams
In the upcoming exhibition, "HERE" artists are being asked to submit recent works that demonstrate the concept of HERE - Content could include a direct or indirect reference to North Adams, The Berkshires, the moment in time "2009".
MCLA Gallery 51 will be accepting submissions for “Here.” in any media. The exhibition will be juried by gallerist Leslie Ferrin of the Ferrin Gallery, Pittsfield, MA. The deadline for submitted materials is August 4, 2009.
As a result of MASS MoCA being in North Adams for ten years, there is a corresponding growth of a contemporary arts community in the surrounding region. The effect of MASS MoCA and its programming can be measured by both the increasing numbers of artists choosing to live and work here and the audience that supports their work through attendance and purchases. But is there also an intellectual contribution from the exposure to exhibits, installations and site specific commissions in the work that is currently being produced in the region? How, for instance, has photographer Gregory Crewdson's dark but romantic view of this region impacted other area photographers in their style or working, artistic content or approaches to landscape and portraiture? Can the same be said of
other noted area artists from the past Norman Rockwell, and present, Stephen Hannock, Jenny Holzer and most recently, Sol Lewitt.
