St. Stanislaus Kostka Church Tour (St. John Paul ll Parish, 25 Hoosac Street
Adams, MA 01220) on Sunday, September 7th at 11:00am
Meet in front of the Church
Tour by Eugene Michalenko in conjunction with Ramblefest.
This tour is a must for history buffs and Art Lovers!
To enter St. Stanislaus Kostka Church is to be transported back in time to Eastern-Europe and to catch a glimpse of a heavenly future. The twin-towered church was built over a century ago by young Polish immigrants who came to Adams, MA, to work in the textile mills. Most came as unmarried teenagers. They met their spouses here and started families. This church was the center of their community. They lived on the streets radiating from it, and many walked past it on their way to work.
In the Eastern European tradition, the images in the church are designed to be windows into heaven. The walls, ceilings, and altars are crowed with saints and angels, heaven’s inhabitants. Statues, paintings, mosaics, a fresco, and stained glass depict 42 saints and 61 angels. Notice the number of women saints represented in stained glass.

Vincent Valdez: Just a Dream…currently on view at MASS MoCA (1040 MASS MoCA Way, North Adams, MA)
Vincent Valdez: Just a Dream… is the artist’s first major museum survey and spans over two decades of his work, from early career drawings to current allegorical portraits. This exhibition cements Valdez as one of the most important American painters working today — imaging his country and its people, politics, pride, and foibles.
Working across painting, video, drawing, sculpture, lithography, and multimedia installation, Valdez deftly addresses the failings and triumphs of contemporary American society with a reverential focus on collective memory and overlooked political histories. Valdez states, “I create images as instruments to probe the past in order to reveal an immediacy to what is occurring today. I am alarmed by the denial of history. I will continue to create counter-images to impede the social amnesia that includes our fateful desire to repeat it.”
Including previously unexhibited and new bodies of work, Just a Dream… is a unique opportunity to see the breadth of Valdez’s practice. The artist often works in series, with this exhibition marking the first time these chapters are in dialogue. Valdez celebrates common people, like his own family members, as empowered, formidable, and present, while challenging traditional and historic symbols of power within contemporary society.
A bilingual book is accompanying the exhibition featuring writings and interviews addressing Valdez’s work through the lens of America today, including Evan Garza, Denise Markonish, Joyce Carol Oates, and Patricia Restrepo. It will be co-published by MASS MoCA, CAMH, and X Artists’ Books.
Vincent Valdez: Just a Dream… is co-organized by Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) and Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA). The exhibition is co-curated by Denise Markonish, Chief Curator at MASS MoCA, and Patricia Restrepo, Curator at CAMH.
