MARCH RECAP


During the month of March the WCA MA traveled together to Rivier University in Nashua, NH to see and participate in Drop the Last Stone - an installation by member C.M. Judge and Paula Rendino. We also entered a new world during a studio visit to Nicol Wander's studio in Gardner, MA.


Field trips and studio visits are open to all WCA MA members. Join us!


Drop the Last Stone continues to be on view until April 28.
