We are thrilled to follow the block party with an outdoor film screening, featuring the diverse works of five Western Massachusetts artists! ✨
All 5 films push boundaries of form, and offer something expansive and playful in the materiality of their images. The film screening will take place at the Florence Congregational church from 7-8pm! We can’t wait to see you there.
