Please join me in celebrating the official grand opening of the Museum of Dog! This incredible new museum, full of hundreds of pieces of dog art (ranging from antique sculptures, to vintage dog collars, to contemporary dog artists, to found objects and original Wegman prints) is well worth the drive.
I’ve been involved in the creation of this museum for many months, and am thrilled to be the first featured contemporary dog artist in their rotating gallery. This grand opening party will be part of ArtWeek’s celebration of galleries and museums in Massachusetts, and I hope you can join us.
We’ll have food trucks, parking, book signings, private tours of the collection by our museum founder, and lots more.

North Adams Truth Project: “What’s Your Truth?”
The North Adams Truth Project is a community project investigating authority, voice, and truth organized by MASS MoCA and the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition (nbCC), inspired by the works of Jenny Holzer on view in MASS MoCA’s Building 6.
Community members are invited to two “What’s Your Truth?” open sessions at MASS MoCA from 1-3pm on 4/28 and 5/26 to explore what stories get told about our hometown, who has the power to tell these stories, and ways in which we can add to, complicate, or reject some of those stories. Through any process of editing, removing, and adding information to a series of documents with varying ‘truths’ about North Adams, participants will be able to offer their more personal, nuanced visions of the city. The goal, in short, is to flip the narratives from needs-based descriptions of North Adams as a struggling community to asset-based stories of triumph and more honest acknowledgments of complexity and gray areas.
The North Adams redaction stories will ultimately be printed on posters and hung around the downtown area in conjunction with DownStreet Art in Summer 2018.

Do you have objects in your possession that you no longer want but can’t bring yourself to throw away? OBJECT AFTERLIFE offers an innovative and guilt-free solution. We are an object processing service for objects that are stuck in limbo between possession and trash. Using advanced blender technology we free your object from the form it is stuck in. Release your unwanted, burdensome, space-consuming or useless thing from your possession and we will release it from its purgatory state.
OBJECT AFTERLIFE is a project of North Adam’s artist Carolyn Clayton. Her work seeks to cultivate an enhanced awareness of our shared lives with things. She is interested in the traces that humans leave on material objects. This has positioned her to ask whether object history is retained in the fragments of everyday things, which she explores by interacting with, collecting, photographing, pulverizing and reassembling second-hand objects.

Featuring:”AMERICAN GRAFFITI” Behind the scenes at Jack’s Army and Navy Store
Once the home of Jack’s Army and Navy Store, 49 Eagle Street in North Adams, Massachusetts is starting a new life as the INSTALLATION SPACE; a gallery dedicated to presenting interpretive, informative, immersive, experiential, and augmented art installations.
“American Graffiti” is gallery owner Anna Farrington’s tribute to Jack’s Army and Navy Store featuring photographs of the 1950’s era graffiti found in the store’s former stockrooms. The graffiti tell stories of love, pride, and aspiration. It’s messages are immediately relate-able to anyone who has ever been in love, hoped for the future, or left their own marks behind. Paired with “artifacts” found in the space during the building renovation, the photos pay homage to daily life in North Adams.
Fans of history, friends of art, photography buffs, graffiti enthusiasts, and most especially anyone who ever experienced Jack’s Army and Navy Store are invited to attend.

Please join me in celebrating the official grand opening of the Museum of Dog! This incredible new museum, full of hundreds of pieces of dog art (ranging from antique sculptures, to vintage dog collars, to contemporary dog artists, to found objects and original Wegman prints) is well worth the drive.
I’ve been involved in the creation of this museum for many months, and am thrilled to be the first featured contemporary dog artist in their rotating gallery. This grand opening party will be part of ArtWeek’s celebration of galleries and museums in Massachusetts, and I hope you can join us.
We’ll have food trucks, parking, book signings, private tours of the collection by our museum founder, and lots more.

North Adams Truth Project: “What’s Your Truth?”
The North Adams Truth Project is a community project investigating authority, voice, and truth organized by MASS MoCA and the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition (nbCC), inspired by the works of Jenny Holzer on view in MASS MoCA’s Building 6.
Community members are invited to two “What’s Your Truth?” open sessions at MASS MoCA from 1-3pm on 4/28 and 5/26 to explore what stories get told about our hometown, who has the power to tell these stories, and ways in which we can add to, complicate, or reject some of those stories. Through any process of editing, removing, and adding information to a series of documents with varying ‘truths’ about North Adams, participants will be able to offer their more personal, nuanced visions of the city. The goal, in short, is to flip the narratives from needs-based descriptions of North Adams as a struggling community to asset-based stories of triumph and more honest acknowledgments of complexity and gray areas.
The North Adams redaction stories will ultimately be printed on posters and hung around the downtown area in conjunction with DownStreet Art in Summer 2018.

The community must band together to save each other from the terror of the giant, but sacrifices must be made.

Do you have objects in your possession that you no longer want but can’t bring yourself to throw away? OBJECT AFTERLIFE offers an innovative and guilt-free solution. We are an object processing service for objects that are stuck in limbo between possession and trash. Using advanced blender technology we free your object from the form it is stuck in. Release your unwanted, burdensome, space-consuming or useless thing from your possession and we will release it from its purgatory state.
OBJECT AFTERLIFE is a project of North Adam’s artist Carolyn Clayton. Her work seeks to cultivate an enhanced awareness of our shared lives with things. She is interested in the traces that humans leave on material objects. This has positioned her to ask whether object history is retained in the fragments of everyday things, which she explores by interacting with, collecting, photographing, pulverizing and reassembling second-hand objects.

Featuring:”AMERICAN GRAFFITI” Behind the scenes at Jack’s Army and Navy Store
Once the home of Jack’s Army and Navy Store, 49 Eagle Street in North Adams, Massachusetts is starting a new life as the INSTALLATION SPACE; a gallery dedicated to presenting interpretive, informative, immersive, experiential, and augmented art installations.
“American Graffiti” is gallery owner Anna Farrington’s tribute to Jack’s Army and Navy Store featuring photographs of the 1950’s era graffiti found in the store’s former stockrooms. The graffiti tell stories of love, pride, and aspiration. It’s messages are immediately relate-able to anyone who has ever been in love, hoped for the future, or left their own marks behind. Paired with “artifacts” found in the space during the building renovation, the photos pay homage to daily life in North Adams.
Fans of history, friends of art, photography buffs, graffiti enthusiasts, and most especially anyone who ever experienced Jack’s Army and Navy Store are invited to attend.
