SUMMARY:World Poetry Salon
DESCRIPTION:Learn about modern poetry with short poems from some of the most celebrated writers of the twentieth century. We’ll listen to or read the poems\, share initial impressions\, and discuss whatever questions or themes emerge. The texts will be provided at the meeting—no homework required! \nIn April\, we’ll feature a special New England edition of the salon\, in connection with the Springward Poetry Festival— Ruth Stone of Vermont and Philip Booth of Maine. \nThis free salon-style series welcomes everyone—whether you’re well-versed in poetry or simply curious. Drop in for one session or all; each 90-minute meetup stands on its own. Prior experience with poetry will be helpful but isn’t required. An interest in innovative techniques\, tolerance for ambiguity\, and appreciation of different points of view will also be helpful. \nEmphasis will be given to poets who bore witness to social upheaval and shaped modern literature with their responses to historical events. We will take a global perspective and include many writers in different languages who have been translated into English. Brief introductions to the poets will be offered\, but no stuffy lectures; we’ll make connections and discoveries together through our sharing of questions and observations. \nHosted by Gary Roberts\, a poet and co-founder of Arts Collaborative Medford\, as part of our literary arts initiative. Bring your coffee\, tea\, or notebook and join us for a relaxed\, open conversation about how poetry can reflect\, resist\, and reimagine the world around us.

SUMMARY:The Jam Down By Riverside (Potluck)
DESCRIPTION:The Jam Down By Riverside is a direct descendent of the now defunct Blues Jam at the Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint\, which was a descendant of the Johnny D’s blues jam. The jam is for building community and building skills. We welcome people of all ages\, abilities\, styles and instruments to join in the jamming. We do not have a strict Blues Only jam rule\, but probably 85% of the repertoire is blues or blues-derived music. Please come to play or listen. \nThe jams are on the Second Sundays of the month from 4 – 7 PM. \nWe’re putting out a special call to teachers and their students to join us and we’re specificly trying to facilitate connections between people with more experience and folks with less experience. \nWhat to expect:\nThe Jam is first come – first served\, meaning you get into the pool to play when you arrive and sign up. There will be 3-4 different groups per hour depending on attendance. More people = shorter sets and more sets\, so more people are able to play. The host will put different bands together based on the abilities and instrumentation available from the attendees. Each group will have a bandleader (often the lead vocalist) who will call songs\, solos\, starts\, breaks and endings. \nThis is a potluck event\, so bring food to share or bring you own eats. We will have beverages for sale for your convenience. \nPlease Do bring your own instrument\, cable\, sticks\, microphone\, and small harp amps.\nPlease Do not bring your own guitar amp and unless you have talked to the host in advance. \nVolunteers will provide the following backline for players: drumkit\, bass rig\, 2 guitar amps\, 2 direct boxes\, microphones\, monitors\, PA system. We are taking donations of various equipment for backline. Please inquire about a donation. In particular we are looking for a small drumset and <15w guitar amps or modeling pedals. \nWe will ask for donations to offset the cost of the event and to show support for our organization.

SUMMARY:"Defunded/Defunked!" Exhibition Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Defunded/Defunked!—an energetic and thought-provoking exhibition curated by and featuring artists from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. \nThis exhibition explores what it means to create\, resist\, and find joy within systems shaped by scarcity\, excess\, and shifting cultural values. Through humor\, irreverence\, and experimentation across media\, the artists respond to the constraints of funding\, the legacy of funk art\, and the complexities of making work in a politically and technologically charged moment. \nThe evening offers a chance to meet the artists\, engage in lively conversation\, and experience the work in a welcoming\, community-driven space. Light refreshments will be provided. Come be part of a night that invites reflection\, rebellion\, and a little bit of defunking. \nCurator: Mai Pham \nArtists: Co & Lee – Dana Colston – Daria Jin – Diego Gonzalez – Elan Cohen –  Helena Abdelnasser – J Grace Giordano – Julia McGhean – Kai Barker Dennet – Kalim Fernandes – Mai Pham – Maryamma Blankson – Matilda Love – Mikey Sims – Paola Michelle Silva Lizarrage – Paul Fauller – Shiyeon Ku – Young One

Lately this has included discussions about stressors\, anxiety and depression. We will do some breathwork to relax a bit before the actual music. The soundbath will last about 60 minutes. After the bath\, we will also have time to discuss the experience\, check in with our community\, and plan how to support each other.

SUMMARY:Cyanotypes On Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Explore cyanotype beyond paper and into textiles in this hands-on workshop focused on printing on fabric! During this class\, students will learn the cyanotype process through hands-on experiments starting on paper and small fabric samples\, building an understanding of exposure\, composition\, and material differences. Then we’ll transition into larger and wearable fabrics\, using textiles participants bring from home and provided objects\, such as clothing\, tote bags\, and bandanas\, to create functional\, one-of-a-kind blue prints! This workshop is beginner friendly and perfect for anyone interested in alternative photography\, surface design\, or wearable art. Students will leave with multiple test prints/patches and at least two finished fabric pieces that are ready to wear! \nMin/Max Attendees: minimum 4\, maximum 12 \nAges 10+ with an adult

SUMMARY:Mosaics: Vertical Garden
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a piece of wall or fence with some sun exposure? If so it could be used to\ngrow herbs while being a work of art. Create a vertical garden from halves of teacups or\ncoffee cups. These will be a manageable size\, using just a few cup halves. Cup halves will be available at the workshop for you to choose from. \nIf you have a cup or two (or even a small bowl) of your own that you want to use\, they MUST be cut ahead of time. I\nwill be able to cut them for you\, so be sure to provide your phone number so we can arrange this before the workshop. \nBring for the workshop: \n\nCup halves (optional; see description for details)\nWear clothes you can get messy. We will be using Thinset (a weatherproof cement-\ngased adhesive) for this project\, and it does NOT wash out.\n\nAges 10+ with adult

SUMMARY:Botanical Eco Printing
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on\, immersive workshop where nature becomes your creative partner. Botanical Eco Printing is a sustainable and beautiful way to transfer the natural pigments of leaves\, flowers\, and other plant materials onto fabric or paper using heat\, moisture and pressure. No two prints are ever the same- each piece is a unique reflection of the natural world around us. You will make at lease two prints (more if time allows). Materials will be provided\, but you are encouraged to bring your own leaves or flowers to experiment with.

SUMMARY:Go Fish! Mural Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led By: Pam Shanley\, artist and teacher\, CACHE member \nFee: $3 suggested donation per fish \n\n\nArts Arlington and ACM invite you to paint a fish — or two! — for Go Fish\, Arlington’s newest public art project. \n\n\nLearn about the remarkable recovery of river herring in the Mystic River while painting fish with colorful acrylic paint. In June\, 2\,000 hand painted fish will be assembled to create a temporary mural on Arlington’s Edith M. Fox Library. \nAges 6 and up are welcome. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. \nAbout Go Fish \nThis project celebrates the courageous herring that swim upstream from the ocean every year to spawn. A combination of advocacy by the Mystic River Watershed Association and its volunteers\, government regulation\, and new fish ladders have increased the population of these once threatened fish — a keystone species critical to ecological health of the watershed. \nArts Arlington will install 2\,000 individually painted herring on the brick walls of the Fox Library and surrounding storefronts to celebrate the protection of urban waterways and wildlife\, creativity and community. \nGo Fish is supported by a grant from the Mass Cultural Council and donations from Floor Signage\, LLC/Alumi Graphics and Blick Art Supplies/Central Square.
