SUMMARY:Orchard Women of Harvard
DESCRIPTION:In late summer and early fall\, city-dwellers and locals are drawn to the beautiful orchards of Harvard\, Massachusetts to pick fruit straight from the trees.  For the past few years\, photographer Ellen Harasimowicz has visited four of these orchards in all seasons\, searching for the extraordinary within the ordinary. \n In this International Year of the Woman Farmer *\, she presents an exhibition of four women who own and manage these local orchards. Two grew up in the business\, one married into it\, and one revived an abandoned orchard and made it organic. The women\, whose ages span decades\, are strong and productive like their fruit trees. Both the women and their trees embody beauty\, resilience\, and hope\, while providing rootedness and nourishment for their community. The orchardists face similar climate and economic challenges\, but each finds her own way to meet them. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration with the orchardists  – Pam Lawson (Doe Orchards) and Linda Hoffman (Old Frog Pond Farm)\, who are showing their artwork alongside Ellen’s photography\, and Stephanie Green O’Keefe (Westward Orchards) and Katie Carlson (Carlson Orchards)\, who are contributing family stories and photos. \nOn view February 28\, 2026 – April 11\, 2026. \nMeet the artists and orchardists at the Opening Reception\, free and open to all\, Sunday\, March 8\, 2026 3:00-5:00pm. \n*The United Nations declared 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer. \n  \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Harvard Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Bridges: Personal Narratives by Immigrant Youth
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 6 pm on April 9th to hear from the writers and organizers of Bridges\, a publication celebrating the writing and artwork of immigrant/refugee youth. The Bridges program launched in summer 2025 as a writing workshop and publication opportunity led by high school student and Harvard resident Lena Aloise\, hosted by the International Institute of New England\, and funded by the H.P. Dwight Internship Grant. Now\, the print publication is being used to spread awareness about the work being done at IINE\, the experience of young people learning English as a second language\, and the importance of coming together as a community to support immigrants and refugees to the United States. We hope that you will take time out of your evening to appreciate and celebrate the stories of these incredibly talented young people.
