Eclipse announces upcoming exhibits, concert, reading
NORTH ADAMS — Works by Rich Remsberg and Margaret Smithglass will be featured in the art exhibition "Maps and Roads" Friday, Feb. 24, through Saturday, April 1, in the Eclipse Mill Gallery on the first floor of Eclipse Mill Artist Lofts, 243 Union St. (Route 2).
The public can meet the artists at a free opening reception Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.
Remsberg will show 18 black-and-white photographs from his book "Riders for God: The Story of a Christian Motorcycle Gang" (2000).

A documentary photographer and archival image researcher, Rems-berg moved to North Adams from the Midwest two years ago.
Smithglass will show "Praha," a collection of paintings inspired by her explorations in Prague, Czech Republic. She is an artist and "recovering architect" who moved to North Adams from Brooklyn two years ago, with an interlude in the Czech Republic.
The exhibit will be open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5. The gallery is accessible to the handicapped. Enter the building at the east end.
