We are excited to announce our April Art Swap Shop & Show with a Gallery twist!
Swap Shops are sustainability-focused initiatives that reduce waste and promote reuse. We invite you to bring in a handmade work of art and exchange it for something new-to-you.

Opening Swap Day – April 4 (12–4 PM)
Join us for the kickoff of the Art Swap Shop! This is when the swapping begins.
Bring your artwork to exchange and be part of a lively, community “happening.” As pieces are reviewed and accepted, they will immediately be added to the gallery walls and pedestals - creating a dynamic exhibition that evolves throughout the afternoon. After Opening Day, swapping will take place through April 25 during regular Swap Shop hours: Monday–Wednesday (10 AM–2 PM) and Saturday (12–4 PM).

How It Works:
- Donated artwork must be an original, handmade piece
- Work must be ready to hang or suitable for pedestal display
- All media are welcome
- No copies or giclées
- Artwork must be in good, “swappable” condition
- Limit 2 pieces per visit

Once your piece has been reviewed and accepted, you will receive a ticket. You may use your ticket to select a piece from the exhibition that day or return at a later time. The show will continuously evolve as artwork comes and goes, so there will always be something new to discover!

Bonus Event: Drop-In Workshop
April 11 (12-4) -Drezner Gallery

Create something new from reused materials! Participants will transform cardboard into unique works of art. Materials will be provided, and a facilitator will be available to guide you through the process.
There is no fee for this workshop; donations are gladly accepted.

Artist in Residence Sophie Groenstein

 
Exhibit Dates: June 6 – 27, 2026
Opening Reception: June 6 (2-4 pm)

Sophie Groenstein is a New England–based muralist and portrait artist whose work centers on individuality, connection, and emotional presence. Through expressive figures, flowing forms, and a vibrant yet intentional color palette, she creates imagery that feels alive, intimate, and human.
Her murals are rooted in community storytelling and often shaped through collaboration with neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and public art programs. Drawing inspiration from personal histories, shared spaces, and collective identity, Sophie’s work reflects the people and places it lives within—creating environments that feel seen, represented, and connected.
At the heart of her practice is the belief that public art should be welcoming, joyful, and emotionally resonant. She paints with the intention of leaving spaces warmer, more meaningful, and more human than she found them.


The Artist in Residence Program provides a studio for selected emerging artists to explore new directions in their work and expand their creative vision as part of the FVAC studio artist community. In the last month of the residency, AiR artists are given the opportunity to exhibit their portfolio of artwork in one of our exhibit galleries.

The Artist in Residence Program is made possible through the continued generosity of The Stanley D. and Hinda N. Fisher Foundation.
