Sculpt This Space – a Call for Art to Massachusetts Sculptors
When:
Where: West Concord
The West Concord Cultural District Committee is launching a new project. After sponsoring murals, sidewalk decals, the Poetry Phone, the painting of signal boxes and Porchfest, we are issuing a Call for Art for our first sculpture project. The winning piece will be on display for one year (with the option to be renewed) at Junction Park, which is near the corner of Main Street and Commonwealth Avenue. Junction Park is steps away from the West Concord MBTA rail stop and beside the path of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. With gardens tended by the local Green Thumbs gardeners and benches that invite walkers and riders to stop and rest, we hope that the sculpture will reflect the love of nature and the peace it brings while also inviting people to enter the park and our cultural district.
The Call for Art is open to all Massachusetts artists aged 18 and over, working individually or in teams. The deadline for applications is April 3, with the intention that installation will be completed by late summer. The artist will receive a $4000 stipend. For project guidelines and application, please go to https://tinyurl.com/West-Concord-Sculpture.

Become a Tutor of English
When:
Where: Zoom
Have you ever thought about tutoring someone in English? Most people who decide to become tutors are thinking of the good it can do, helping others become more proficient in English and better able to cope with employment, landlords, schools or the medical profession. But then they discover the rewards, the satisfaction that comes as progress is made and a relationship develops that enriches both learner and tutor. Tutors often speak of their pleasure in learning about another culture and their greater appreciation of the challenges facing those who are adapting to ours.
Because of the constant demand for tutoring, all available tutors are now working with students, and the next tutor-training course has been scheduled. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) program directors Ginny Steel and Jane Albert are currently enrolling prospective tutors for the five-session course that starts on March 9. The class will meet on five consecutive Monday mornings, 9-12. The first four classes will meet virtually, using Zoom, and the last one will be in person, in the Wayland library.
No prior knowledge of a foreign language is needed, just an openness to other cultures and the desire to share your knowledge of English. The training is free, although it is necessary to purchase a textbook for about $40.
Tutors will be prepared to work with their learners either remotely, as we often do now, or in person, as is sometimes possible. Tutors now are using Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, telephone and email as they “meet” with their learners and enjoy both success and personal connection.
For more information or to enroll in the tutor-training course, you can phone Ginny Steel at 508-358-7517 or email her at virginia@thesteels.com.

Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts Celebrates Home Dedication in Ayer
When:
Where: 12 Newton Street, Ayer
March 10, 2026 – Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts is proud to announce the dedication of its newest homes at 12 Newton Street in Ayer, a beautiful duplex that will soon welcome two local families.
The Home Dedication Ceremony will take place on Tuesday, March 10th at 10:00 AM at the property site. Community members, volunteers, sponsors, and local officials are invited to attend and celebrate this special milestone.
The newly constructed duplex features two 3-bedroom, 2-bath homes built with energy-efficient materials and systems designed to provide long-term affordability and sustainability for the partner families. These thoughtfully designed homes will not only reduce utility costs but also create a safe, stable environment where families can thrive.
“This dedication represents more than just the completion of a building,” said Diana Sinkus of Habitat for Humanity North Central Massachusetts. “It represents partnership, perseverance, and the power of community coming together to create strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter.”
Each Habitat homeowner completes hundreds of hours of “sweat equity,” working alongside volunteers and investing in their future. Through affordable mortgage payments and financial education, families gain the opportunity to build equity and achieve long-term housing stability.
This project was made possible thanks to the generous support of volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners who believe that everyone deserves a safe, decent place to call home.

Concord Women’s Chorus Presents
‘Winning the Vote’ One-Woman Concert
‘Winning the Vote’ One-Woman Concert
When:
Where: 20 Lexington Road, Concord
Concord Women’s Chorus (CWC), fostering the power of women’s voices in song, presents a special Women’s History Month event, “Winning the Vote,” a one-woman concert by performing artist and chorus member Diane Taraz, on Sunday, March 15, 3 pm, at First Parish in Concord, 20 Lexington Road.
“Winning the Vote” traces the long, determined, and often overlooked struggle to secure women’s suffrage in the United States, culminating in the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Through historically rooted storytelling and lively, compelling music, Taraz brings to life the winding path that began as the nation itself was forming, continued through the 1800s, and became deeply intertwined with the movement to abolish enslavement. Though first proposed in 1878, the amendment took 41 years to become law — a journey rich with resilience, conflict, and courage.
A devoted member of Concord Women’s Chorus, Diane Taraz is known for her engaging performance style and deep connection to American musical traditions. In this intimate, educational, and entertaining program, she invites audiences to experience history not only as a narrative, but as a living, breathing expression through song.
Concord Women’s Chorus is a 45-singer ensemble fostering the power of women’s voices through song, hailing from Concord and the greater Boston area. Artistic Director Jane Ring Frank conducts the chorus performing a wide variety of choral music, ranging from early music to contemporary repertoire, with an emphasis on works written for women’s voices. The ensemble’s spring concert will be performed on Saturday, May 9, 4 pm, at Trinity Church, Concord.
Refreshments will be served following the “Winning the Vote” performance. A suggested donation of $20 supports Concord Women’s Chorus and its mission-driven programming.
For more information, or to join Concord Women’s Chorus, email manager@concordwomenschorus.org, visit concordwomenschorus.org, and follow Concord Women’s Chorus on Facebook and Instagram.

Women's Money Matters Seeks Volunteers to Meet Growing Need for Financial Wellness Programs
When:
Where: Virtual Info Session
Women's Money Matters, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit that empowers women and girls living on low incomes to improve their financial health, is seeking volunteer coaches and presenters across Eastern Massachusetts to support a surge in demand for its free financial wellness programs. The nonprofit is recruiting volunteers in Middlesex, Suffolk, Essex, and Norfolk Counties as recent federal cuts to SNAP and Medicaid have left thousands of Massachusetts families without critical safety net support. In Massachusetts, nearly 1 in 9 women live in poverty, and for women of color, that number climbs to 1 in 5. Recent federal cuts to SNAP and Medicaid have compounded that stress.
Women's Money Matters offers free, group-based financial wellness programs that combine financial health workshops, peer support, and personalized one-to-one coaching. WMM's programs don't just provide financial concepts. They build the confidence and habits that lead to lasting change. It's not just about knowing how to manage money, but ultimately gaining confidence and feeling in control of your financial life.

From Gas to Induction: Cleaner Cooking for Your Home and Climate
Learn, Ask Questions, and Find Out How Incentives Can Help You Make the Change
Learn, Ask Questions, and Find Out How Incentives Can Help You Make the Change
When:
Where: Zoom
You may have heard more people talking about switching from gas to induction cooking—and for good reason. Induction cooktops offer a cleaner, safer, and more efficient way to cook, while helping reduce indoor air pollution and supporting your home electrification journey.
Here’s why induction cooking is gaining popularity across Massachusetts:
Cleaner and healthier indoor air
Gas stoves release pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and methane into your home. Induction cooktops produce no on-site emissions, helping create a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
Faster, safer, and more efficient cooking
Induction uses magnetic technology to heat your cookware directly, making it faster than gas and traditional electric stoves. The surface stays cooler, reducing burn risks and improving safety.
Save energy and reduce emissions
Induction cooktops are highly efficient, using less energy and supporting Massachusetts’ transition to cleaner electricity. They’re an important step toward an all-electric, climate-friendly home.
Incentives can help lower the cost
Massachusetts and local programs offer rebates and incentives that can make switching to induction more affordable than you might expect.
Curious if induction is right for you?
Join our free webinar to learn how induction works, compare costs, explore available incentives, and hear answers to common questions from local experts.

the Revolution” with Diane Taraz on Thursday, March 19, at 7:30 pm at the Congregational

In 1776, New England was full of music. Songs helped speed the work in kitchens and
workshops, soldiers marched to lively fife-and-drum tunes, youths sang melodies of romantic
passion, mothers crooned lullabies, churches rang with hymns, and ballads carried the news of
the day.
Renowned folksinger and historian Diane Taraz will entertain us with songs that were enjoyed
by both sides during the American Revolution, accompanying herself on mountain dulcimer and
an instrument similar to the English guitar.

Open Door Theater Takes Flight with HONK! March 20-29 in Acton
When:
Where: 16 Charter Rd, Acton
Open Door Theater proudly presents HONK!, a musical telling of “The Ugly Duckling” story. HONK! is a heartwarming celebration of being different that is sure to delight audiences of all ages. Ugly looks quite a bit different from his siblings, and others are quick to notice and point this out. Ugly is kind-hearted, awkward and innocent, and his journey of self-discovery is the heart of the show. This messaging supports the mission of Open Door Theater and will resonate with audiences now more than ever. Like Open Door Theater, HONK! has the audacity to assert that the default state of community should be inclusion and that “fowl” behavior will no longer be tolerated.

Princeton Arts presents “Out the Studio Window“, a lecture by Barry Van Dusen
When:
Where: 206 Worcester Road, Princeton
Princeton Arts presents “Out the Studio Window“, a lecture by Barry Van Dusen on Friday, March 20, 7-8 p.m. at the Princeton Community Center, 206 Worcester Road, Princeton.
Many artists travel widely in search of new subjects, while others spend their entire artistic lives much closer to home. Andrew Wyeth did all of his work in two small areas of Maine and Pennsylvania, and Claude Monet spent the last four decades of his life painting the gardens right out his back door.
Princeton nature artist Barry Van Dusen has done his share of traveling, but he, too, continues to find abundant inspiration nearby – many of his paintings feature subjects observed out the windows of his studio in central Massachusetts. In this one-hour illustrated talk, Barry takes you along in his explorations of nature “Out the Studio Windows”.

Workshop Details:
These free workshops are available to all community members, and registration details can be found on the Concord Conservatory of Music website. Spaces are limited, and early registration is encouraged.
