January Gallery Exhibition—
Matt Evald Johnson: Recent Figurations
Matt Johnson is inspired by the urban/industrial scene,
which supplies him with subject, materials, processes
and narrative. Johnson’s recent work being shown in
the carved steel gallery is an assemblage and manipulation
of raw material. These materials used for the
sculpture in Recent Figurations have been reclaimed
from the urban and industrial environments that record
some of the history of their previous lives. Johnson,
who works alone and without heavy equipment, relies
on his physical labor to produce work that merges grace
and brutality, producing unexpected objects. Johnson’s
work has been shown throughout New England and the
Northeast. Works are on view in the gallery through
January. Admission to the gallery $3.
Learn the techniques of telling a fascinating tale at
Wistariahurst Museum during this inspiring workshop!
Activities include viewing examples of portraits painted
several decades ago, and learning the different ways
artists and family members used to tell the story of a
family. Scouts will discover how to figure out the story
behind a picture and apply their own ancestral details
when creating a portrait of their family. Reservations are
required. $7 per scout
Sunday, Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. - “The Skinner Family Gift
to Holyoke; 100 Years Young”
The Skinner Chapel at the United Congregational
Church will celebrate its centennial in February. In 1909

this Skinner Family Gift to Holyoke and reveals the
remarkable and beautiful architecture contained within
