Across the way (or, just around the corner) on Bradford Street at Berta Walker Gallery is an exhibition with an amazing roster of artists called Castle Hill Connections. The opening reception will be on September 23rd (same night as the PAAM opening) from 5 -7. The exhibit includes past and current faculty, Trustees, students, our piano tuner Sky Power, with a special invitation from Berta Walker to Cherie Mittenthal “honoring her amazing leadership as Castle Hill’s Director”.
