"Gems in the Valley: A Toast to Nelson Stevens" will showcase works by renowned painter and long-standing member of the Pioneer Valley, Nelson Stevens. Featuring a range of styles and mediums dating back to the 1970s, his works on paper, canvas, doors, board, album covers, prints in magazines and calendars attest to Stevens's prolific career as a visual artist, teacher, arts activist, and cultural ambassador. Some works in this show are on loan by collectors, while others have been part of the Augusta Savage and African American Studies permanent collections.
