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.

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.

Launch Day Celebration: May 30, 2026

The event will take place on Tuesday, March 31st at 7 p.m., in the Goodnow Public Library in Sudbury.

Concord Art Presents: Homages
Curated by Crystalle Lacouture
April 2, 2026 - May 10, 2026
Curated by Crystalle Lacouture
April 2, 2026 - May 10, 2026
When:
Where: 37 Lexington Road, Concord
Concord, MA - Beginning Thursday, April 2, Concord Art presentsHomages, curated by Crystalle Lacouture. The exhibition will be on view through May 10. Homages brings together artists whose work honors the “masterworks” and historical movements that preceded them, or uses the act of tribute
to elevate the humble and everyday into something worthy of praise. There are memorials and remembrances, references to the Dutch masters and Joseph Cornell, to rock music and masterpieces, to feminist artists at the vanguard, to the stories we all share and the writers, thinkers, and movements that still move us today. There are also works that honor, elevate, and transform familiar and often humble, quotidian materials into the realm of art. In offering these tributes, the artists create a generously inclusive vision — one in which the work becomes a collaboration not only with the beholder, but with the very sources that inspired it. Together, maker, viewer, and muse become allies in deepening an intangible experience, adding a new contribution to the long, layered timeline of history.
Artists featured in this exhibition include Brett Angell, Willie Binnie, Jenny Brillhart, Hillary Doyle, Tory Fair, Emily Hass, Lu Heintz, Crystalle Lacouture, Limited Time Engagement (Caira Art Editions), Cathy Della Lucia, S. Billie Mandle, Dogwood Messer, Allison Reimus, Jill Slosburg-Ackerman, Zainab Sumu (Caira Art Editions), and Joe Wardwell.
A catalog of the exhibition will be available at Concord Art. For more information, contact Executive Director Kate James at katejames@concordart.org or Assistant Director Natalie Reiser at
nataliereiser@concordart.org. You may also call Concord Art at 978-369-2578.

Good Friday Concert and Service, Featuring ACC’s Senior Choir Presenting Margaret Bond’s Masterwork Credo
When:
Where: 12 Concord Rd, Acton
April 3rd at 7:30pm at the Acton Congregational Church, 12 Concord Rd, Acton, MA
The Senior Choir of Acton Congregational Church along with guest singers from area choruses will present Margaret Bonds’s masterwork, Credo, as part of its special Good Friday service on April 3rd.
Bonds composed Credo in 1965, setting to music the powerful and inspirational words written by W.E.B. Du Bois in 1904. Modern performers and audience can find elements of Credo uncomfortable, in part because the work forces us to confront the injustice of American slavery and its legacy head on, as both Du Bois and Bonds intended. Credo proved to be difficult for Bonds as well when she sought publication. Her publisher demanded that she change the words of the second movement (“Especially Do I Believe in the Negro Race”) from “Negro race” to “human race,” and when she adamantly refused to do so, he refused to publish it. After Bonds’s unexpected death in 1972, many of her papers were mislaid, including much of the source material for Credo. Thus, the first full edition of Credo was not published until 2021, over 50 years after Bonds wrote it. Since its publication in 2021, the work has finally taken its place among the standard repertoire of choral masterpieces.
The music of Bonds and text of Du Bois will be interwoven with scripture and moments of reflection, drawing connections between the passion of Christ and the suffering of people of color throughout our country’s history. Soprano Amy Onyonyi and Tenor Christon Carney will be featured soloists with Elizabeth Carley, Acton Congregational's talented organist and pianist. Senior Choir Director, Elinor A. Armsby leads the performance.

Worcester Chamber Music Society Presents
“La Fête Française” April 10 & 12, 2026
“La Fête Française” April 10 & 12, 2026
When:
Where: Fitchburg Art Museum Shapiro Hall, Joy of Music 185 Elm Street, Fitchburg & 1 Gorham Street, Worcester
Worcester Chamber Music Society continues its 20th season with performances of a concert titled “La Fête Française” in Fitchburg on April 10 and in Worcester on April 12.
Grab your beret and a warm croissant and get in the spirit of this French-themed program that puts the harp front and center. Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro was commissioned to showcase the innovations by a French harp-making company. Typically a deliberate and decidedly slow composer, Ravel wrote this piece in a mere 3 days.
Delicate, light, and charming, Saint-Saën’s Fantaisie is virtuosic for both harp and violin. The famous composer created this sparkling musical pas-de-deux for 2 sisters, succeeding in crafting a single-movement piece that feels light and improvised.
Chausson’s Piano Quartet is unmistakable in its French Romanticism, lyrical, bouyant, and lush. Remarkably, he never intended to be a composer; he studied and became a lawyer, though with no real interest in it he dabbled in several other occupations and art forms before landing at the Paris Conservatory where he studied music.
