RECEPTION from 5pm-7pm in the lobby of the Shea Theater.

Triple SSS: Sensual, Sexual, Smut returns for the sixth time to Nina's Nook. Triple SSS features sculpture from artists working in wood, bone, metal, clay and paper to create form that suggest a spectrum of sensual from mildly erotic to explicitly naughty. Photography, prints and paintings feature both figurative and abstract fantasies and improvisations from mild to wild. View the art in Nina’s Nook at 125A Avenue A, and head to the Shea for the reception.

Meet the artists, enjoy two short art films, and browse through erotic books at the Federal Street Books table, erotic arts and crafts created by local artists Edite Cunha and Nina Rossi, fabulous corsets created by The Dimpled Dragon, and refreshments and cash bar. Pick up a ticket in the Nook for a chance to win a gift certificate from the Oh My! sensuality shop in Northampton. Drawing at 7pm.

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
