Indian classical music in Greenfield // SUNDAY

Group exhibit in Easthampton // Thursday through Saturday
This will be the last weekend to see “Diversity in Art,” a group exhibit at the Elusie Galley in Easthampton. The “Artists at the Crossroads” group, made up of 12 professionals from western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut, formed in 2011 and has regularly exhibited together ever since.
