Carberry Conversations

Carberry Conversations is a series of virtual talks throughout the academic year between Professor of Arts and Humanities/Photography/Philosophy and Coordinator of Amy H. Carberry Fine Arts Gallery and Cultural Programming, Sondra Peron, and several past exhibiting artists whose work has been on view at the Amy H. Carberry Fine Arts Gallery since 2013 and STCC’s very own art faculty. Conceived in response to the ongoing pandemic, these conversations function as a space to connect working artists and photographers to STCC and the Greater Springfield community covering a wide variety of topics including, origin stories, the impact of current events on the artistic process, and the function of art and photography during times of crisis.
