The UP CLOSE Series provides a window into the art practices of Valley area artists through studio tours and curatorial driven interviews. In 2020, due to the COVID 19 crisis, all of our events were postponed, however we are delighted and excited to have brought you UP CLOSE, a film series created by v ideographer Nick Verdi. This ongoing series of live oral presentations about creativity, process, and finished work reveals the liveliness of contemporary visual arts in Western Massachusetts. This format allows the artists to present for about 6 1/2 minutes each, followed by a Q & A with the audience. Traditionally, The ArtSalonВ gives artists of many disciplines a forum to present their work and discuss their artistic process with the public through Pecha Kucha style presentations.
