Join Smith Alum and award winning theatre director, educator, and author Mary B. Robinson for a talk about women in directing roles and her journey from Smith to over 70 regional and off-broadway productions.

Join the Tewksbury Public Library and the Chelmsford Public Library for an evening with Jedediah Berry, author of The Naming Song, winner of the 2025 Massachusetts Book Award in Fiction. Berry will read from his award-winning novel and discuss its imaginative landscape, before opening the floor to an audience Q&A. Attendees may participate either in person or online.

The Naming Song is a wildly imaginative speculative novel that explores the power and politics of language through the story of an unnamed courier working for an authoritarian Naming Committee. New words become tools of control, and resistance brews among silent radicals and forgotten ghosts in a society where naming is both salvation and erasure. The Naming Song is a thrilling, thought-provoking adventure that fully embraces the beauty and power of what cannot be Named.

This program is sponsored by the Mass Book Awards Speakers Bureau and is presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Center for the Book.

JEDEDIAH BERRY is the author of The Naming Song, which won the Massachusetts Book Award for fiction and was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize. His first novel, The Manual of Detection, won the Crawford Award and the Hammett Prize, and was adapted for broadcast by BBC Radio 4. Together with his partner, writer Emily Houk, he runs Ninepin Press, an independent publisher of fiction, poetry, and games in unusual shapes. He lives in Western Massachusetts.

Opening Reception on Thursday, February 12, 4:30-6:30pm at Pegasus Gallery.

The evocative imagery of Nancy L. Greco’s drawings occupy ethereal spaces where dreamlike myths and fleeting memories shape a realm of endless potential. Human and animal forms are prominent themes that appear contained by and yet freely float within surreal, natural and architectural settings. Dynamic juxtapositions and unexpected perspectives untether her representational imagery from traditional contexts and invite the viewer to explore the elusive nature of memory - fragmented, incomplete but undeniably vivid.

Greco’s drawings, prints, and paintings have been exhibited internationally throughout her 50+ year career. She holds an M.F.A., from The Ohio State University (Columbus) and an M.A. and B.A. in Art Education from Southern Connecticut State University.

Step back into the vibrant world of the 1920s and 1930s with Jazz Age Illustration, a major exhibition exploring the art of popular illustration during this transformative era. Featuring over 100 works by renowned artists such as Aaron Douglas, John Held Jr., and Frank E. Schoonover, the exhibition delves into the cultural impact of illustration during a time of dramatic social change.

Organized by the Delaware Art Museum, Jazz Age Illustration is the first major exhibition to survey the art of popular illustration in the United States between 1919 and 1942—a vibrant and transformative era of innovation, evolving styles, social change, and expanding popular media.

Hallucinations brings together three new, interrelated series by Lisa Iglesias that frame perception as layered, contingent, and in motion. Composed of acrylic paint on paper, translucent materials, and repeated relief prints of domestic objects, the works unfold through veils, screens, and patterned surfaces that shift as the viewer moves. In 100 cartas a la luna, multiple levels of paint are applied on both sides of each paper through staining, pouring, pooling, and relief printing, often in collaboration with Iglesias’s young children. Privacy screens, halftone fields, and layered applications of paint function as perceptual filters—at times obscuring, at others revealing images, gestures, and bodily impressions. Across the exhibition, weft and warp structures echo textiles, as household materials are translated into digital, cosmic, and architectural forms.

Join us for the next installment of the NXT Rockumentary Film Series

This high-energy concert documentary drops viewers into a restless moment in British New Wave music history, capturing one live performance after another from a wide range of touring acts. The result is loose, loud, and unpredictable—less a polished showcase than a raw snapshot of a scene in motion. From tense, provocative moments to playful bursts of pop energy, the film offers rare glimpses of artists who didn’t always make it into the history books, alongside performers on the verge of much wider recognition.

Due to licensing restrictions, we’re unable to publicly list the film title. To find out what’s screening, join our mailing list or contact us directly.
