MASSACHUSETTS SIDE OF THE Blackstone Valley
An
Unexpected Jewel in the Valley -
Spaightwood Galleries, Inc.,
120 Main St., PO Box 1193,
Upton MA 01568.
800-809-3343
www.spaightwoodgalleries.com.
Visiting Hours: Saturday and Sunday noon to 6 pm; other times
by arrangement.
An
amazing treasure of art is tucked away in the historic
industrialist straw hat-maker Knowlton's former church in West
Upton. Many of us drive by this church often but inside is a
magnificent art gallery filled with masterpieces from the
late 15th century to the 21st, including Chagall, Miro and many
other renown artists from around the globe.
This lovely gallery is striking with its varied artists'
works that you'd be surprised to hear are being exhibited in the
little town of Upton, MA. It is the culmination of art works
gathered over decades by two retired professors, the Weiners,
who moved to the area to be close to their grandchildren.
