WHERE IS NIPPERTOWN?

An online magazine based in the greater Capital Region and Hudson Valley regions of New York and western Massachusetts. We write about art, music and anything else that interests us. Great take on the visual arts in the Cultural Corridor(s)!

If you miss it tomorrow, there is an Artist Salon at the gallery, moderated by Leslie Ferrin Thursday, October 8 @ 6 p.m.. The topic of discussion will be based off the theme of the show "Here".
