I thought some members of the Hidden-tech community might be interested in this event tomorrow night: Tuesday May 13, 2014 6-8pm MassMutual Center 1277 Main St. Springfield MA 413-878-6610 The Western MA Economic Development Council <http://www.westernmassedc.com/> sponsors monthly PLUG IN TO THE CREATIVE VALLEY gatherings for networking and creative conversation amongst area artists, entrepreneurs and businesses. The May event will take place in the gallery space where the 5 Narratives <http://www.massmutualcenter.com/art> exhibit is on display. This show is the result of a juried process conducted in the fall of 2013 in which 5 Western MA artists were selected by curators from the Springfield Museums, the Smith College Museum of Art (SCMA), and the University Museum of Contemporary Art (UMCA). It's a significant inaugural event for the MassMutual Center, which is actually the property of the State of Massachusetts, operated by a management company called Global Spectrum. The state also owns both the Hynes and Boston Convention Centers in Boston; there have been art exhibitions in those facilities for several years, as part of the MCCA Arts Program, This is the first program exhibit at the Springfield facility (the MassMutual Center <http://www.massmutualcenter.com/> ). The emphasis of 5 Narratives <http://www.massmutualcenter.com/art> is on large art and the featured artists are: Imo Nse Imeh, Faith Lund, Tom Wyatt, Lydia Kann Nettler, and Laura Radwell. There will be brief talks by each artist. Refreshments provided! All are welcome! If you would like to attend please register by clicking on the link below.
