Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person.

The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

Norman Rockwell: Illustrating Humor highlights selections from Rockwell’s most amusing artworks drawn from the Museum’s permanent collection.

Norman Rockwell: Illustrating Humor runs concurrently with What, Me Worry? The Art and Humor of MAD Magazine, this summer’s landmark exhibition of original art from one of America’s oldest humor publications. These thematically linked exhibitions juxtapose and illuminate two strikingly different veins of American humor, from the gently comical to the outrageously satirical. The underlying unity, however, is apparent in the brilliance of the illustrations and the successful intent to prompt viewers’ laughter and, perhaps, invite rueful self-recognition.

How Arts Initiatives Can Access Funding Without Being a Nonprofit

Are you leading a grassroots effort to benefit our arts community or are you organizing a community-based arts project without 501(c)(3) status, but want to access funding?
Are you a collective or a collaborative of individuals or organizations working together on an arts project or initiative?
Are you trying to incubate a new arts organization? Daunted by this, could fiscal sponsorship be a first step?
Have you created a new effort responding to the current climate that you want to quickly launch off the ground?

Join us for an informative training session on fiscal sponsorship!

The Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts (CFWM) offers this capacity-building training to provide key insights into fiscal sponsorship—what it is, how it works, and how it can support your mission-driven efforts.

This session will cover the benefits and responsibilities of fiscal sponsorship, provide updates on standard models, and offer guidance on what to look for in a sponsoring organization.

This training is perfect for groups exploring fiscal sponsorships as a pathway to deepen their work and access funding.

Please note: While CFWM does not offer fiscal sponsorships ourselves, we are excited to support learning about this topic.

Light refreshments provided.

"Step into the cosmic conversation with Theater Mitu’s latest creation. Inspired by the 1977 NASA Voyager mission, which launched a vinyl recording of natural sounds found on Earth into space, as well as the uncertainty and isolations surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, this experimental performance begs the question: if we were to send another message into the distant future, what message would we send?

Part vinyl recording and part live performance, Utopian Hotline uses real voicemails left on a public hotline and to create a moment of community, while inviting audience members around a communal table to re-imagine our shared future.

This collaborative performance, done in partnership with SETI Institute, Arizona State University’s Interplanetary Initiative, and Brooklyn Independent Middle School, is a call for audiences to join together and leave an offering of hope for mankind’s future."
