Art Squad: Inspirations x4
Liz Austin, Lucia Foley, Abby Jaffe, Marion Pascone
May 2 to June 28, 2023
South Hadley Library, Community Room
2 Canal Street, South Hadley, MA
Two Shadowbrook residents, Abby Jaffe and Lucia Foley, will be showing their work with two other local women in a show at the South Hadley Public Library during the months of May and June, 2023.
In 2016, after connecting in an art class in Easthampton, Liz Austin, Lucia Foley, Abby Jaffe, and Marion Pascone started meeting once a week to paint together, chat, and plan road trips to museums and other interesting places. The group of South Hadley women were soon dubbed “The Art Squad,” and the name and weekly gatherings to create art have persisted. The four artists found solidarity, joy, creative inspiration, and a shared identity working in a variety of media even through the pandemic, as meetings moved from studios to Zoom, back yards, and hiking trails. With good art friends, there are always possibilities.
A show of their works in oil, watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media will be on view from May 2 to June 28, 2023 in the Community Room at South Hadley Public Library, 2 Canal Street, South Hadley. The library is open Mon-Wed 9:30am-8pm, Thu-Fri 9:30am-6pm, Sat 9:30am-1pm. Call ahead at 413.538.5045 to determine that the Community Room is not in use.
