Come experience theater, music, installation, dance, poetry, video, etc. all presented in downtown Turners Falls in a variety of alternative venues like storefronts, repurposed churches, the Discovery Center, the Shea Theatre - all in walking distance.

One ticket gets you into everything. See how much you can experience!

We've invited art that engages issue of race, age, gender, religion, economic class, and aspects of cultural identity that have been suppressed. In addition we will offer a conversation with the artists and humanist scholars to place the conversation in context on April 28, 2019 from noon til 3:30 pm in the Cohn Commons at Greenfield Community College.

Sponsored by Turners Falls RiverCulture and Fostering Art and Culture. Supported by Mass Humanities, and the Mass Cultural Council Montague and Conway branches.
