North Adams, 4pm-7pm
Sally Tiska Rice will be showing her wondrous watercolors at Gallery North, 9 Eagle Street. . The exhibit will accompany new work by permanent gallery artists Marilyn Cavallari, Ghetta Hirsch, Sean McCusker, Mallory Rich, and Barbara Patton from April 1st to April 30th; with an opening reception Friday, April 4th from 4-7pm.
Sally Tiska Rice draws inspiration from her rural surroundings and lifelong love of art. A survivor of a spine injury, she finds healing and spiritual fulfillment through painting, focusing on blending, layering, and experimenting with light and color to create depth and dimension. Sally's diverse techniques include acrylics, watercolors, oils, pastels, and mixed media.
Marilyn Cavallari, founder/owner of Gallery North, lives in Williamstown. She is a contemporary landscape and seascape artist. She works on several paintings simultaneously, distributing to each canvas her choice of bright and joyful colors.
Ghetta Hirsch offers a visual conversation on Nature. She composes vivid landscapes, observing the patterns of forms and colors on fields, mountains and water. Her “Abstract Realism” style relates calm and serenity to the meditative viewers.
Sean McCusker has been creating surreal landscapes inspired by the hilly Berkshires for over 20 years. His oil paintings, full of light and color, are built up slowly with an average of 30 thin transparent layers giving the effect of light emitting from the canvas.
Mallory Rich, a resident of Sandgate, VT has paintings in pastels and oils with her focus on rural VT, eastern New York and coastal Maine. She studied for many years with pastel master Albert Handell. She paints small moments in the landscape often unnoticed in our busy days.
Barbara Patton’s alternatively fired ceramic work is fired quickly with a rush of flame, smoke and excitement. The fiery chaos of smoke-firing, using natural and chemical materials combined with elements of form and surface, create both fragile yet hardened objects from the earth.

Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” Read by Sandra Seoane-Serí Introduced by Dr. Daphne Lamothe, Provost and Dean of the Faculty, Smith College
5 pm Anita Kunz Exhibition open for viewing
6 pm Reading at Rockwell in the Galleries
In partnership with The Mount, the Norman Rockwell Museum presents Readings at Rockwell, featuring local actors reading stories by writers highlighted in Anita Kunz’s exhibition Original Sisters, which honors trailblazing women.
Toni Morrison(1931–2019) was an American novelist, essayist, book editor, and professor. Celebrated for her powerful and richly expressive examinations of the experience of Black women in an unjust world, Morrison won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for her novel Beloved (1987). In 1993 she became the first African American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, as an author “who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality.” President Barack Obama awarded Morrison the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. In a prolific and varied writing career, Morrison only wrote one short story, “Recitatif,” which will be read at this program.
Sandra Seoane-Serí is an award-winning actress based in New York, Providence, and Boston. Sandra received her BA in Theater and Film at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is a proud alum of Shakespeare & Company’s Summer Shakespeare Intensive. During their time in Western Massachusetts, she learned the importance of collaboration, discipline, and humility. They enjoy being on stage, behind and in front of the camera. Sandra hopes to be a part of stories that challenge stereotypes and spark conversations over neglected subjects.
