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:Save Our Schools: March for our Lives Silent Auction
DESCRIPTION:With the recent active shooter scare at UMass Lowell on 9/3/25\, the Evergreen High School shooting in Colorado on 9/10/25\, as well as number of other recent shooting incidents\, the local artist community is doing their part to make our community safer. While the UMass Lowell shooter on September 3\, 2026 turned out to be a hoax\, the fear that was created was very real. \nMarch for our Lives is a student-led organization founded by survivors of the Parkland\, Florida high school shootings in 2018. They lead demonstrations in support of gun control legislation and their mission is to end gun violence in our lifetime. They have championed gun violence prevention legislation at all levels of the government to save lives and create a better\, safer future. \nFollowing the horrific shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde\, March for our Lives led a protest in DC. Just a day after MFOL marched\, Senator Chris Murphy announced a bipartisan gun reform package with the support of 10 Republicans\, and just weeks later\, they successfully passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act\, the first federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years. \nA charity artwork silent auction and fundraising event run by local-artist\, Lisa Nelson will help raise money for March for our Lives. \nFor two weeks prior (3/7-3/21)\, display tables will be setup in the Fivesparks LOFT featuring artwork donated by a number of local professional artists along with silent auction sign-up sheets. Visitors can bid on these items throughout the 2-week period.  \nAt the end of the two weeks\, a fundraising event will be held at Fivesparks on 3/21/26.  Entrance is free\, refreshments will be served and winning bids for the art silent auction will be announced around 7pm.  \nAll money raised will be donated to March for our Lives.
