Community Art Show wrapping up

GREENFIELD — To close out its 2024 Community Art Show, The LAVA Center at 324 Main St. will host a conversation with the artists on Saturday, Dec. 21, between noon and 2 p.m. The gallery itself will open at 11 a.m.

Painter Allen Fowler will lead the discussion with the artists who participated in this year’s show about texture, the show’s theme. They will discuss their work, what the theme “texture” held for them and what their process might look like.
