Neuro Art Pop Up Shop in Springfield

Laura Bundesen, an artist-entrepreneur of Huntington, will exhibit and sell her mixed media brain artwork at a one-of-a-kind, neuro-themed pop-up shop at ReevX Labs in Springfield from Nov. 29 through Dec. 4.

Bundesen is one of 10 entrepreneurs chosen for the inaugural experience at the community hub at 270 Bridge St., which is funded by Berkshire Bank and supported by Valley Venture Mentors. She is excited to have the opportunity to use the space for her solo display and sale.

Her neuro-art pop-up shop will be open Nov. 29 to Dec. 3 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Community members are invited.

Bundesen calls herself a “neuro-artist,” and said her work, which ranges from a collection of 16 original brain shaped enamel lapel pins to intricately embroidered paintings, especially resonates with people with neurological disorders, their loved ones, and with scientists, neurologists, psychologists and others in healthcare.

“They find it both interesting and inspiring,” she said, adding, “I’ve had a number of people who’ve had traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, epilepsy, stroke or multiple sclerosis (MS) buy my work because it inspires them and gives them hope.” With nearly one in six people suffering from some neurologic condition there is something for everyone.
