The Bedford Town Calendar

This show, juried by Jessica Straus, examines our relationships with familiar, unfamiliar and defamiliarized objects. Sometimes we find things we never knew we lost. They have been hidden away in our attics or our drawers. Other things we discover in the dailiness of our lives. We find meaning and even healing in found objects and pieces from the past. Meanings are created somewhere between claiming and severing relationships with objects, between reviving and recasting their history. The work starts with a found object which must be physically embedded or transformed into the piece itself. Objects may be recognizable or beyond

The annual Bedford Turkey Trot run and walk will take place on Thanksgiving morning. All money beyond expenses will go directly to the Bedford Food Pantry. The food pantry provides groceries and hot meals to families in need in Bedford and surrounding communities, and the Turkey Trot supplies a substantial portion of their annual budget.    The event features a 5K run and a 2 mile walk.
