About this Event

Indulge in community, creativity & connection


In honor of Black History Month, you are invited to join us for Not A Noplace on February 7th at Northampton Center for the Arts.


"I think of beauty as an absolute necessity. I don't think it's a privilege or an indulgence, it's not even a quest. I think it's almost like knowledge, which is to say, it's what we were born for.

— Toni Morrison


Not A Noplace is a frequency of freedom. It is a living room for artists who identify as Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, People of Color to be, breathe & feel into the present moment.


"Your presence has purpose"

— HINDZ


This afternoon, our feature will be Richie Wills <3

A Point Foundation scholar, he is an MFA candidate in prose at UMass Amherst, where he teaches creative writing and serves as a Reviews Editor at The Massachusetts Review.

As always, adorn yourself as it pleases you & invite a human being you love!
