September and October 2026

We welcome local artist and author Duston Spear for the launch of her novel Bird Girl and a show of her related art. The art exhibit will be on view in September and October, and the book launch will be Tuesday, September 29 @ 5:30.
Duston will share readings from her newly published novel, Bird Girl, which features contemporary western Massachusetts, the art world of SOHO in the 1970s, and the lasting impact of complicated relationships. Spear has created a series of paintings exploring the artistic style of her fictional main character. Books will be available for purchase at this event.
Free and open to the public. Registration appreciated.
About the book: When a viral podcast revives a long-buried art-world story, a reclusive painter is forced to reckon with a past act that never brought recognition—only silence. Bird Girl examines art, memory, and what it takes to reclaim a life after it has been turned into legend.
