SUMMARY:Poetry Corner featuring North Andover Poet Laureate Christa Lamb
DESCRIPTION:Poetry Corner is back\, featuring the return of our newest North Andover Poet Laureate Christa Lamb. \nChrista April Lamb is a Massachusetts-based poet and writer whose work moves from close\, intimate observation into embodied protest and participatory poems that invite shared responsibility. Shaped by neurodivergent perception\, her poetry examines how language behaves under pressure — in the body\, in relationships\, and in the world. Her recent work engages directly with the present moment\, including poems about democracy\, voice\, and interruption\, alongside deeply personal poems about love\, loss\, and orientation. Christa is currently working on a memoir about growing up undiagnosed autistic and finding language for a life finally understood. She also serves as Director of Media & Communications for Revolutionary Valley\, where she shapes stories rooted in place and history through language\, design\, and visual media.

SUMMARY:Great Day to Be a Warrior | April 1-24\, 2026| Reception on Saturday April 4\, 3 - 5 pm| Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Loading Dock Gallery presents Great Day to Be a Warrior\, an exhibition showcasing work by Merrimack College CADA students and alumni\, curated by Allyson Lewis and Jonathan Latiano. Building on the success of Western Ave: Artists at Work\, this themeless exhibition centers the artists themselves—highlighting ambition\, experimentation\, and creative range across disciplines. \nFeaturing work in 2D\, 3D\, drawing\, and digital media\, the exhibition celebrates the dynamic\, thoughtful\, and emotionally resonant voices emerging from Merrimack College’s visual and performing arts community. While diverse in approach\, each piece shares a common foundation: a commitment to risk-taking\, process\, and artistic growth. \nGreat Day to Be a Warrior is a celebration of creativity\, collaboration\, and the strength of a shared artistic community. \nGreat Day to Be a Warrior will be open Wednesdays-Fridays 12–5:30 PM and weekends 10 AM–3:30 PM\, April1 through April 24. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday\, April 4\, from 3–5 PM\, coinciding with Western Avenue Studios’ Open Studios. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501(c)(3).

SUMMARY:A Bedford Assortment
DESCRIPTION:Vocabulary.com describes an “assortment” as “a bunch of different things all together\, whether they’re the same sort or not.” \n“For example\,” says Society President and Bedford Town Historian Sharon McDonald\, “an assortment of chocolates would be a box of cherry-filled\, nut\, caramel\, coconut\, and orange crème candies. \nUsing her engaging story-telling style\, McDonald’s “Bedford Assortment” program will be a bunch of assorted snippets from Bedford’s colonial history that may be funny\, sad\, surprising\, or inspiring.  She hopes you will say “Bon\, bon!” \nDoors open at 2 PM for a social period and refreshments\n2:15 PM – Brief Society announcements followed by the Guest Speaker
