The Augusta Savage Gallery at the University of Massachusetts Amherst will be showcasing work by Erika Radich and Rocío Olguín in the second part of its three-part series of exhibits, “Game of Chance.” The new exhibit opens Tuesday, Oct. 8, and runs through Oct. 29.
Radich, whose work is represented in part by Zea Mays Printmaking in Florence, is a longtime printmaker from Keene, New Hampshire, whose work has been inspired in part by studying German Expressionist artists while she was in Berlin, and also by “the thread between art and science,” as publicity notes put it.
Rocío Olguín is a visual artist from Mexico with a background in painting, graphic design and abstractionism. In her home in Oaxaca, Mexico, she paints and draws portraits, landscapes and human figures and also is involved with in cultural projects in nearby towns, often collaborating with other artists.

“The Brick Church” Music Series, held at The First Church of Deerfield, 71 Old Main St., presents the Adaskin String Trio on Sunday, October 6, at 3 p.m. This is the first of four fundraising concerts that will be held at the church.
