Pride Art Crawl!

Come check out an exhibit from local artist, Vince Coll, featured in the Pride Art Crawl! From June 12th – 28th, Keene’s second annual Pride Art Crawl will be in full swing to celebrate pride, creativity, and community! To complement his work, MFC will be hosting a staff art show as well. Come check out all the amazing pieces in our cafe!
Vince Coll is an artist currently residing in Swanzey, New Hampshire, with a main focus in expressive oil painting. Having grown up surrounded by woods, he often would find himself daydreaming nonsensical creatures to interact with as a child, which later on in life has affected his paintings. Most of his works include his own characters, mainly the Clentipede. In different real life scenarios, or interacting with real life objects and buildings that are consistently in his life. He is often inspired by the world around him, and how he can elevate it to match his daydreams.
