Volunteers, Partners Wanted for First Annual Holyoke Paper Festival

HOLYOKE — Taber Art Gallery, in partnership with Holyoke Art, requests applications for volunteers and partners interested in planning the first Holyoke Paper Festival. Set to take place over four days in late May in downtown Holyoke, this fine-art festival will feature exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and celebrations of the medium of paper and Holyoke’s history as the Paper City.

Organizers hope this becomes an annual event, a staple of the Western Mass. region, as well as a forum for art and dialogue on contemporary issues through the presentation of art made in, with, of, and about paper.

Anyone interested can apply at taber.fillout.com/hpf-planning. Applications are limited to adults in the Northeast region who are able to occasionally meet in person for planning meetings and regularly attend virtual planning meetings, and are committed to being in-person for the duration of the festival.
