Opening Reception: Nathan Shepard: Oils & Gouaches, with Poems by Megan Buchanan at Next Stage Arts Project

Join us from 2 – 5:00 p.m. to celebrate the opening. Nathan discovered a love for mural painting in the early 1990s, which resulted in a period at the Instituto Allende, Guanajuato, to further his study of mural painting. He spent a winter painting at the Vermont Studio Center and has studied plein air with Caleb Stone during multiple trips to Monhegan Island, Maine. Most recently
Nathan’s work was featured in a summer show at the Canal Street Art Gallery in Bellows Falls, Vermont.
