Amherst Arts Night Plus, the Town’s monthly art walk, continues its virtual .programming for the May 7 art walk, 5–8 p.m, aired live on Amherst Media, Ch. 15. It can also be streamed at the same time from this link.  

The program, which will air twice during the 5-8 p.m. time slot, consists of a combination of gallery presentations, musical interludes by area musicians, and artist discussions. Galleries featured this month include The Bower Studio (artist: Opertura), Amherst Visitors Center (artist: Ricky Darell Barton), the University Museum of Contemporary Art (artist: Avital Sagalyn), Gallery A3 (artists: Laura Holland and Janet Walerstein Winston), and the Unitarian Universalist Church (video: “Journey of a Wandering Angel”). Musical performances will be by the O-Tones, Chris Smither, and The Jazz Mesmerizers.

“We’re delighted to provide these monthly 3-hour cultural presentations by local galleries and area artists,” said Eric Broudy, treasurer of Amherst Arts Night Plus. “People have been housebound for more than a month now, unable to experience our usual monthly gallery openings and live cultural performances. We’re just pleased we can contribute to the growing range of alternatives that so many cultural organizations are now able to present online.”
