Spend Memorial Day weekend in the cultural heart of New England, at Northampton’s award-winning Paradise City Arts Festival. This spring’s show includes 250 extraordinary craftsmen and artists, a silent auction to benefit the Breast Form Fund, sensational cuisine by Northampton’s best chefs, and live music by regional and national luminaries (that’s their word, not ours!) Admission is $12 adults, $10 seniors, and $8 students. Show hours are 10 – 6 Saturday and Sunday, 10 – 4 Monday, and there is free parking. For complete information, log on to www.paradisecityarts.com/spring/homesprg.html. We learned about this show from local artist Stacey Betts of Stacey Betts Stained Glass, whose specialty is botanical-based stained glass designs, both realistic and representative. A sample of her work is shown below.
