THIS WEEKEND!
Please join the Studio Artists from The Umbrella Arts Center for the return of our annual Open Studios, April 29 and 30.
EARTH DAY & EARTH MONTH NEWS
The Arts & Environment Program offers its heartfelt thanks to everyone in the community who came out to make both our Earth Month artists reception and Musketaquid Earth Day celebration such a wonderful success!
We were thrilled to have one of our largest, most diverse collection of artists represented in this year's community art exhibition, themed Stories from the Earth!
And, we reconnected with several hundred friends old and new for our return to The Old Manse and Old North Bridge in Minute Man National Historical Park. Following a morning River Ceremony rich with song, puppetry, and the traditional Earth Float launch, we enjoyed a stunningly beautiful afternoon with dance, theater, storytelling, landscape tours, craft activities, picnicking and much more with our new partners at The Trustees. See some highlights on our website!
