Things to See & Do

Visit the exhibition Revolutionary Legacies at Concord Museum. How have we remembered April 19, 1775, and the American Revolution over the past 250 years? Featuring commemorative ephemera, unique relics, artworks, personal objects, and contemporary works that respond to the Revolution’s legacy, this special exhibition asks what we choose to remember—and what has been left out—as the public looks back to the founding of our nation. 

The Student Summer Showcase, S³, returns for its second year as The Umbrella’s annual celebration of the work our student community is creating in our classrooms. Come appreciate the wonders Umbrella student artists create! Admission is free, and the galleries are open to all, as is the opening reception (RSVP).

Discover the art of printmaking with self-taught printmaker & compulsive wanderer Sherrie York. Her exhibition of wildlife (mostly birds) and naturescapes is now on display at the Walden Pond Visitor Center. Hailing from Bristol, Maine, Sherrie is a linocut artist, sketching on linoleum blocks which are then carved in successive layers to transfer colorful prints onto paper. Her linocuts have been presented worldwide. 

Award-winning Firelight Theatre Workshop presents "We Were Friends: To Bed/Eggs," an episodic project of Firelight’s playful reimagining of Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s profound friendship set in today’s world. A late-night phone conversation between Ralph and Margaret takes the form of a radio play in which music, film, voice, and the hypnotic hum of a sleep apnea machine lead the two friends into territory both more intimate and less certain than any they’ve experienced in each other’s presence. This episode will be followed by a talkback with Firelight’s actors and writers. $15 Members | $25 Non-Members
