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.

Mixed media works in ROMANUM by Ron Maggio are inspired by the wall paintings (or frescos) from houses and villas of Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Boscoreale, dating from the second century B.C. and the first century A.D. The artist works within classical sensibilities of architectural space and color and incorporates the rich color palette employed by Roman fresco painters.

Where access, excellence, and community come together—NSBE Boston’s INSPIRE STEM Gala returns March 13, 2026.

Hosted by the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Boston Professionals (https://www.nsbe.org), the Inspire STEM Gala is the chapter’s signature annual event, bringing together corporate leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, students, and community advocates committed to advancing excellence in STEM.

Now in its 8th year, the Inspire STEM Gala is a highly anticipated and often sold-out evening designed to celebrate achievement, foster meaningful connections, and drive collective investment in the future of STEM leadership. The event serves as a powerful convening space where ideas turn into action and partnerships move from intention to impact.

The 2026 Gala will take place on Friday, March 13, 2026, at the Omni Boston Hotel, setting the stage for an elevated evening of recognition, inspiration, and community building. Proceeds from the event directly support NSBE Boston’s programs, including scholarships, STEM education initiatives, and professional development opportunities for students and professionals across Greater Boston.

Attendance is limited, and demand grows each year—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Join us after the March Putney Community Supper for an evening of joyful singing in the main performance space.

Led by guitarist and song leader Rich Grumbine, this community sing-along invites everyone to take turns choosing favorites from a digital songbook of 100+ well-loved tunes. Lyrics will be projected on a big screen, so all can sing along with ease. Expect songs from many traditions—folk, golden oldies, gospel, Beatles, classic pop and rock, children’s songs, and show tunes.

The event is free, open to all, and accessible to people with disabilities.

​Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the nation’s most intriguing opera companies,” Odyssey Opera, in partnership with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project (BMOP), presents the revival of the engaging comic opera The Last Savage at the Huntington Theatre, Friday, March 13, 2026, at 8:00 p.m.With music and libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti, this three-act 20th-century “grand opera buffa” comprises an eclectic score and unexpected libretto delightfully subverting convention through Mozartian musical tropes. Acclaimed conductor Gil Rose leads an internationally accomplished cast including sopranos Anya Matanovič, Sharleen Joynt, and Michelle Trainor, baritones Phillip Lopez, Gabriel Preisser, and Matthew Burns, and tenor Omar Najmi, all supported by the multiple GRAMMY®️ Award-winning BMOP. ​

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.

Just in time for the rebirth of spring!

Eggs have been used by artists for centuries, whether painted, decorated, or intricately carved. Since eggshells are curved and naturally seamless, with a structurally sound outer layer to protect the inside, they make the perfect canvas for art. And as mosaic pieces, too!

In this three-hour workshop, you will learn how to make a mosaic out of eggshells painted with handmade, non-toxic watercolors. Participants will leave with an intricately crafted 4x4 hand-mosaiced canvas. All supplies - including design ideas - will be provided (but of course you are welcome to get as creative as you would like!)

Card to Culture tickets available.
