NORTH ADAMS, Mass. –Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) Gallery 51 will debut a new exhibit, "Liminal Spaces: the Overlooked and the Otherworldly," on Thursday, April 20 at 5 p.m.  
 
According to a press release:  
 
This exhibit showcases the work of six artists whose imagery focuses on being between spaces or times, such as ending college and beginning life outside of school, or finding one's way through changes of the pandemic's impacts on our lives, to subtler states of being that are often overlooked or fantasized.  
 
Each artist's work explores these larger themes differently. Senior Eloise Baker's installation relates to hidden computer code made apparent through weaving; Tiffany Ferriera's '23 collage-paintings pull together common elements from nature, living, and dying; Rachel Zemsky's '23 imagery activates considerations of burn-out and recovery; whereas Deianara Seamans' '23 colorful rabbits implore us to consider folklore passing through our attention; Joseph Vigiard's '23 drawings imply dreams of the past and the future; and Delano Mill's '23 comics detail stories of moving through revenge to difficult truths.  
 
"Liminal Spaces" is a culmination of MCLA Art Major seniors' final exhibit of their expertise and artistry. 
 
The reception is free and open to the public.

North Adams Airport Hangar Complete, Commission Look Towards New Project

By Jack GuerinoiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Peter Enzien of Stantec, the airport's engineer, reported that the North East Hangar project is finally complete and awaiting FAA approval for final reimbursement.
 
"The Northeast hanger project is complete, 100 percent," Enzien told the commission Tuesday. "We just completed all the final closeout documentation, all that was sent to the city. The mayor signed everything. It was all returned back to the FAA three weeks ago."
 
In 2022, the commissioners voted to go forward with the renovation of the derelict hangar, owned by the city. The project would tap a mix of state, federal, and local funds.
 
Delays caused by supply shortages and other disruptions complicated the project that was largely completed earlier this year.
 
Enzien said the Federal Aviation Authority will review and close out the project. He said there may be a few lingering action items to settle, but all in all, the project is complete.
 
"We have to update a few things, but generally, they'll approve it," he said. "Once that's done, they send us an email, and then that email is authorization to move forward with getting reimbursed."
 
Enzien moved right into the airport's next Airport Improvement Program project: the construction of a new "T" hangar (named for how the planes are parked) west of the city-owned Shamrock Hangar.
