“Pioneering Women of Early Rock and Roll”

Town Hall

When it comes to the early days of rock ‘n’ roll, some of the most pioneering and powerfully influential figures were women. This show will highlight these women who were instrumental in making rock and roll what it is today. The Retro Polatin Duo, Jill Goldman and David Polatin, will sing, play, and discuss some of the women who defied the odds and changed the landscape of rock and roll. This program is supported by a grant from the Bedford  Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

Portraits in Red: Missing & Murdered Indigenous Painting Project

The Umbrella Arts Center 40 Stow St., Concord, MA, United States

The MMIP Painting Project began not as a project at all but with the intent of it being just one painting to show support for the Missing & Murdered indigenous peoples crisis. Artist Nayana laFond created the first painting on May 5, 2020, the day of remembrance for MMIP. She shared it online and the response was so overwhelming she did one more, yet again intending that to be the end. The response to the second was even more and so Nayana opened her inbox to anyone wanting to be painted not expecting the 25+ the received the first day.Stories
