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. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Repeating bands of vibrant color weave through Paula Hite’s recent abstract acrylic paintings on paper. The view from her large studio windows led Hite to explore Nature as a metaphor for connection and community. A vital energy emerges in the intertwining organic forms inspired by interconnecting trees and shadows. These animated ribbons of color jostle, nudge, appear, merge, and disappear—inviting the viewer to enter into the painting’s flow in an act of confluence.

Virtuoso violin Edwin Huizinga and Celtic guitarist William Coulter tango with flamenco as they are joined by special guest, dancer Fanny Ara. North American folk tunes mingle with Celtic melodies as Argentinian tangos complement Bach sonatas. This interplay between art forms adds dynamism to folk and contemporary traditions from around the world.

Tickets are $30, available online or at the door, payable by cash or check.

Based on the novel, The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, by Michael Butterworth, Lucky Stiff is an offbeat, hilarious murder mystery, complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds and a wheelchair-bound corpse. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle on vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn…or else his uncle’s gun-toting ex! EHS Drama students present this musical farce that will leave you dying of laughter!

Cello and Chocolate...does it get any better? This will be our next installment. Each time, Jeremy and Dave surprise us with a new theme and new compositions.

Join us for a lovely multi-sensory experience that will feature the (mostly) soothing sounds of the Harman/Haughey Cello Duo paired with the delicious flavors of Ana Bandeira Chocolates of Northampton. Who better to curate both sounds and tastes other than the Valley's favorite cellist/chocolateer Dave Haughey? Dave is both the owner of Ana Bandeira Chocolates as well as a stellar multi-genre cellist who has performed internationally with the Paul Winter Consort and is joined by Jeremy Harman, Artistic Director of the New Directions Cello Festival and professor of cello at the Berklee College of Music.

This event is part soundbath and part concert. Please bring cushions, yoga mats, and blankets to make yourselves comfortable. Naturally, we will also have folding chairs for those who prefer not to sit on the floor.

Card to Culture tickets available.

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.
