Opening Reception: Saturday, July 11, 4-7pm
Artist talk: Saturday, August 1, 6pm
These four artists, awarded the opportunity for this exhibit by one of the founders of femme locale, explore themes of controlling our world or achieving things as if by magic, we are keenly aware of how as women we need to walk a line and use our charms in the world that is designed for and by men.
This exhibition is made possible from the generous support of The Mill District General Store & Local Art Gallery, 50 Arrow Gallery and the Women’s Fund of Western Massachusetts.
Before you come to the artist talk, learn more &
learn how you can support Nuka Project.
Founded by femme locale artist Yeukai Chiroodza-Imeh, Nuka Project helps K-12 ESL students across New England learn, create, and thrive. In this learning environment students use art as a powerful tool for self-expression while strengthening academic vocabulary. Program impact is measured through pre- and post-program student surveys and structured classroom observations. In Spring 2026, participating students demonstrated more than a sevenfold increase in their ability to use art as a strategy for learning vocabulary and an 89% increase in their ability to express themselves through art while applying newly acquired vocabulary in meaningful, authentic contexts.
You can support Nuka Project by bringing cash donations used to purchase art supplies OR you can bring in art supplies…see supplies listed below.
