The Mill District General Store and Local Art Gallery is excited to offer an interactive public art installation to the community. From mid-November through December, the public is invited to experience "Winter Workshop", an installation made entirely out of cardboard that depicts a workshop in the hills of western Massachusetts. Visitors of all ages are invited to contribute their own family-friendly inspired creations to the exhibit, using the supplied materials at the Local Art Gallery Table.

November 12 – 21: the template was constructed by The Mill District General Store and Local Art Gallery team and community volunteers, including artists Suzanne DiSessa and Gretchen Holesovsky.

November 22 - 24: the exhibit opens to the public! All weekend long (including Sunday afternoon) you may create family-friendly elements to add to the installation! All materials provided.
