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.
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. Opening Reception March 6, 5:00-7:00 PM.
RACE AND SONG is a powerful, engaging exploration of history and current events through the lens of race—told through music, storytelling, and lived experience.
Veteran musicians and longtime friends Pamela Means and Alastair Moock invite audiences into thoughtful, generous conversation about race, class, gender, and history. In musical dialogue, they share personal stories alongside historical and family photos, using song to open hearts and deepen understanding (because music always helps the medicine go down).
The program features traditional and contemporary songs including “Wade in the Water,” “Freight Train,” “It’s a Mighty Long Way,” “This Little Light of Mine,” and Moock’s “Be a Pain.” Together, the music and stories illuminate the artists’ perspectives while offering rich historical context and space for reflection.
Having toured nationally to theaters, libraries, houses of worship, schools, senior centers, and performing arts venues, Race and Song is known for meeting audiences where they are—creating meaningful, accessible, and human conversations about race.
This performance is part of the Voices Rising series presented by The Opening Doors Project.
Funded in part by the New England States Touring program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and the six New England state arts agencies.
Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a leading cellist of the new generation known for his radiant stage presence, engages in a sparkling musical dialogue with his pianist sister, Isata, bringing their musical chemistry to a program that bridges Romantic lyricism and 20th-century innovation. Opening the program is Felix Mendelssohn’s first cello sonata, a work of luminous interplay that reveals both the cello’s expressive depth and the piano’s crystalline brilliance. Then, Nadia Boulanger’s striking miniatures demonstrate the full range of the cello’s capabilities, as do Robert Schumann’s folk-inspired short compositions. The program concludes with the trailblazing composer Rebecca Clarke, whose rich, expressive Viola Sonata is presented here in its cello arrangement. Written in 1919 for a competition, the work tied for first place with a sonata by Ernest Bloch.
