Its' goals include maintaining and preserving the rich and diverse cultural heritage of Northampton, programming such annual events of interest to the community as First Night Northampton and Transperformance.
Peter Zierlein's Transformer Box Makeover #2 (Pilot Program)
In coordination with the Northampton Arts Council Peter Zierlein painted the transformer box in the parking lot behind LaFiorentina Bakery, right by the Kirkland Ave underpass. This is the second box in a pilot program to get transformer boxes painted by artists, to beautify downtown, prevent vandalism and bring an artsy character to the town (ArtUp NoHo).
