Location
Anchor House of Artists (518 Pleasant Street ground floor, Northampton, MA 01060)
The Apple Orchard Band is back together again and fills Gallery One as an indoor concert for the first time, back from a breakup, separate groups placed both in Vermont's Bennington Museum (Tim, Jim, and Slim) and North Bennington Outdoor Sculpture Show (Maureen and Deane). The band took thirteen years to form, each figure introduced every two years at the Park Hill Orchard AiO exhibit starting with Tim on the Uke. Also stuffed in are The Protestors, Haley the Hula Hooper, and several other figures from the past decade up to the present placed in Gallery Two.
