On view through March 23 in The Umbrella’s Wedge Gallery, this exhibition reflects Foster’s travels within his home state of Massachusetts and throughout the ancestral homelands of the Native American Peoples of New England. While attending powwows, cultural events, workshops, and Indigenous practices that span millennia, his passion has become highlighting cultures and history of the Indigenous peoples that are still here and living amongst us.
Both the opening reception March 5, 6PM and Artist Talk, March 9, 1-2PM are free and open to the public.
The exhibition runs concurrently with The Umbrella Stage Company’s Where We Belong by Mohegan playwright Madeline Sayet in The Umbrella’s Black Box theater. Both are presented as part of The Umbrella’s programs recognizing the American semiquincentennial.

Pole Capping Day - Patriots Day Reenactment of a Colonial Protest in Bedford
2025-04-12 10:00 - 12:00 | Bedford Town Common -75 Great Road, 75 Great Road, Bedford, MA, 01730, United States
The Opening battles of the American Revolution took place in Lexington in Concord on April 19th, 1775. This is the 250th anniversary of this monumental event. Before any shots were fired, so many events led up to the actual conflict to start the revolution. Cities and towns across New England were gearing up for what was to come.
One act of defiance, (which dates back to Roman times), was to place a red cap on a pole. This simple act of Pole Capping was a provocative move.
One tradition in Bedford that started back in 1965 was reenacting this show of defiance with their annual Pole Capping event. Reenactors in colonial costumes for both the Colonists as well the Red Coats march from the Bedford Common to Willson Park march to defy the British and climb a pole to lodge their grievances.
Minuteman reenactors from throughout the region come to Bedford to participate in this event that is kicked off with a festive parade from the Town Common.
Pole Capping Day is considered the start of the Patriots Day celebration in the region. Along with the event there is the traditional Pancake breakfast and other activities. While you’re here, you can also visit the Bedford Historical Society’s exhibit on its opening day:
The Bedford Historical Society will also open their exhibit, “Bedford Answers the Call.”
Bedford Town responded to the urgent alarm spread through Eastern Massachusetts on the night of April 18, 1775. They were one of the five towns involved in the exchange of fire at the North Bridge. To commemorate the 250 th anniversary of that day, the Bedford Historical Society is mounting an exhibition entitled “Bedford Answers the Call.” It will open on Pole Capping Day, April 12, 2025, and remain until January, 2026, highlighting Bedford’s participation in the first moments of the American Revolution. Visit the Bedford Historical Society at 16 South Road, rear door. Call for hours at 781-275-7276.
The exhibition is free.

Concord’s Secret History (World Premiere Screening)

April 12 – 8PM
April 14 – 2:30PM
World premiere of new documentary about the history of slavery in the region surrounding Concord, Massachusetts, in co-production by Kogainon Films (USA) and GTVdocs (UK). The documentary reveals a long-suppressed secret, set in Concord, Massachusetts—the birthplace of the American Revolution, where the first shots were fired on April 19, 1775. While Concord is often celebrated for its role in the fight for freedom, few are aware of the untold stories that extend beyond its borders. The film also explores hidden narratives from both Medford and Harvard University, offering a richer, more complete picture of the region’s colonial past.
The premiere will take place in Concord on April 12, 2025 at The Umbrella Arts Center, followed by distribution to over 500 PBS member stations across the United States via PBS+. After the screening, the filmmakers and historians involved in the project will participate in a facilitated talk-back, providing an opportunity for deeper engagement and discussion.

The Umbrella Arts Center in historic Concord Center will commemorate the semiquincentennial of the American Revolution and “the shot heard round the world” with an ambitious outdoor/indoor public and gallery art exhibition, Weaving an Address, curated by artist Marla McLeod.

Featured artists in the exhibition are Ifé Franklin, Stephen Hamilton, Whitney Harris, Ekua Holmes, Perla Mabel, Marla McLeod, Kimberly Love Radcliffe, and Anthony Peyton Young.
Outdoors, large-scale work will be installed on Brister’s Hill, named for Brister Freeman, an enslaved man who won his freedom by serving in the Revolutionary War and then bought the property and lived there along with other formerly enslaved.Indoors at The Umbrella, inter-related fiber artworks will weave narratives from fragmented pasts to offer a vision of how history shapes the present and influences the future.
Supporting community activities include an opening reception on April 14, monthly curator talks, a processional with artist Ifé Franklin, and participation in the town-wide Revolutionary Concordians Trading Card program.
This exhibition is presented as part of the Concord250 commemoration, in partnership with The Walden Woods Project and The Robbins House, in association with Gather 2025, a month-long exploration and celebration of fiber and textile art in Greater Boston, and with permission of Concord Natural Resources Division.

Reenactment of the Battle of Lexington - Lexington Patriots’ Day
2025-04-19 05:30 - 07:00 | Lexington Battle Green, 1625 Massachusetts Ave., Lexington, 02420, United States
A tribute to those patriots who fell on Lexington Green on the morning of April 19, 1775.
Since 1971, the Lexington Minute Men have recreated the birth of American liberty on Lexington Common, also known as the Lexington Battle Green, at 6 AM on Patriots’ Day. First proclaimed as a public holiday in Massachusetts in 1894, Patriots’ Day commemorates the start of the American Revolution at the Battle of Lexington. The Battle of Lexington is commemorated every year on the third Monday in April. We pay tribute to those patriots who fell on Lexington Green on the morning of April 19, 1775, and to the courage and fortitude of those who continued the fight throughout the day. The celebration usually spans an entire weekend culminating with the annual parade through Lexington Center.
After dawn on Patriots’ Day, spectators ring the Common watching the huddled group of Minute Men- “The Alarm” at the Old Belfry. Soon they hear the steady pounding of drums and marching feet as column upon column of red-coated Regulars come into view. Angry words are spoken. Then a shot is fired. Volley after volley of musket fire follows. Seven men fall. The Regulars shout a triumphant “huzza” and continue on to Concord. Despite losing close friends and family members, the Minute Men soon follow them to Concord, where they have their revenge. This is the historic reenactment of the beginning of the War for American Independence
More events to spend your day in Lexington:
The Sunrise Youth Parade is organized annually as a part of Patriots’ Day celebrations. It provides younger members of the community the opportunity to experience the joy and excitement of the weekend.
Lexington Lions Club Annual Five-Mile Road Race: Set against the backdrop of scenic Lexington, this event not only marks a significant milestone but also embodies the spirit of Patriots’ Day, a day steeped in American history.
