SUMMARY:STOMP — Lowell Memorial Auditorium
DESCRIPTION:STOMP\, the international percussion sensation\, returns to Lowell Memorial Auditorium for three shows April 21-22\, 2023!  From its beginnings as a street performance in the UK\, STOMP has grown into an international sensation over the past 25 years\, having performed in more than 50 countries and in front of more than 24 million people. \nThe performers “make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound\,” says co-founder/director Luke Cresswell.  A unique combination of percussion\, movement and visual comedy\, STOMP has created its own inimitable\, contemporary form of rhythmic expression: both household and industrial objects find new life as musical instruments in the hands of an idiosyncratic band of body percussionists.  It is a journey through sound\, a celebration of the everyday and a comic interplay of characters wordlessly communicating through dance and drum. \nSubscribe to Lowell Auditorium’s 2022-2023 Broadway Season to gain early access to STOMP tickets and receive a discount off the adult ticket price.

SUMMARY:43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W | Nan Hockenbury\, Heidi Jackson\, Bethany Peck\, and Noel Soucy | May 3-28 at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Loading Dock Gallery presents 43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W\, a show of contemporary New England landscape painting. In August 2022\, Nan Hockenbury\, Heidi Jackson\, Bethany Peck\, and Noel Soucy traveled to Monhegan Island\, ME. For six days they wandered the island and painted plein air. 43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W knits together their diverse interpretations of those shared days\, each artist using her own point of view to speak of the island’s rugged landscape and dramatic views. \nHockenbury paints with interlocking lozenges of color\, translating boats\, houses\, and stones in jewel-like hues. Jackson evokes nature’s fleeting beauty with textured\, expressionist strokes and gentle colors. Peck responds to her island wanderings with intuitive abstractions\, focusing on the convergence of sky and sea. Soucy offers atmospheric images\, layered in texture\, an exploration of process as well as of the landscape observed. \n43.7623°N\, 69.3203°W runs May 3-28\, 2023 at Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, Lowell\, MA: open noon-5:30 pm\, Wednesday-Saturday\, noon-4 pm Sundays. Reception 3-5 pm\, Saturday\, May 6\, 3-5 pm. More at www.theloadingdockgallery.com. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501c3.

SUMMARY:IN THE WORK | Denise Driscoll | May 6–July 23 | Storage Closet Gallery | Lowell\, MA
DESCRIPTION:IN THE WORK | Denise Driscoll | Storage Closet Gallery | May 6 – July 23\, 2023\n160 Western Ave\, Lowell\, MA\nOpen to the public during Western Ave Studios & Lofts Open Studios and by appointment:\nSat May 6 & Sun May 7\, 12–5 pm | Sat June 3\, 12–5 pm | Sat July 1\, 12–5 pm \nLowell\, MA–Beginning May 6\, the Storage Closet Gallery will exhibit IN THE WORK by Denise Driscoll presenting paintings that are in-progress and subject to change from day to day. From May through July\, large canvases will rotate in and out of the small Storage Closet Gallery as Driscoll works on them in her studio then brings them back to display their progress. Across time\, each painting may move through states of loveliness\, balance\, disarray\, and change as paint is layered and marks accumulate. For those who wonder “How long did this take?” a work log with dates and hours of working time will be attached to each canvas.\nHere\, IN THE WORK\, Driscoll invites the viewer to witness her creative process—the dance between uncertainty and control\, the familiar and the unknown—as paintings emerge from imagined potential to final realization. \nDenise Driscoll’s paintings envision interconnectedness with pattern and exuberant color. Driscoll is a SOLO2017 winner at Bromfield Gallery and a Curatorial Opportunity Grant recipient at the New Art Center. Her work is in many private and public collections including Alexandria Real Estate\, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\, Whitney Veigas\, Bancroft Lofts\, Stanford University\, Emory University Hospital\, UMass Memorial Medical Center\, Dover-Sherborn Middle School\, and Elsewhere Collaborative. Driscoll holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Lesley Art + Design (2007) where she has also taught. Driscoll is currently a cancer patient dealing with the challenging work of treatment. She has found that staying grounded through painting and focusing on her own web of connection with family\, friends\, and the community at Western Avenue is very good medicine. Driscoll is represented by Fountain Street Gallery\, the Loading Dock Gallery\, and Art in Giving. She lives and works in the Western Avenue Lofts in Lowell\, MA. \nThe Storage Closet Gallery is a small space for ART/WORK by artists at Western Avenue Lofts located at 160 Western Ave\, Lowell\, MA and is open during Open Studios\, or by appointment.

SUMMARY:“My vicinity affords many good walks”; A Saunter Exploring Thoreau Farm’s Biology & History
DESCRIPTION:Although Henry Thoreau spent only the first 8 months if his life living in his grandmother’s farmhouse\, he would return to Virginia Road time and again throughout his life to visit the scenes of his early childhood. \nJoin Biologist Amity Wilczek and Historian Richard Smith for a walk around the Thoreau Farm property as they explore the biological and historical importance of the Virginia Road landscape. How has the area changed since the pre-Colonial era? What plants and animals did Thoreau see in the 19th Century and how have invasive plants and climate change altered the world that Thoreau knew? \nAmity Wilczek is an evolutionary ecologist and educator who taught at Harvard and Brown before transitioning to Deep Springs College\, where over 10 years she served as Herbert Reich Chair of Natural Sciences\, Academic Dean\, and Vice President. Her work on plant responses to changing environments has appeared in Science\, PNAS\, Ecology\, American Naturalist\, and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society among others. Nearly all of her research involves substantial collaboration with undergraduate and pre-PhD co-authors. Amity currently lives in Concord\, Massachusetts and serves as a trail steward of the Emerson-Thoreau Amble for the town. \nRichard Smith has lectured on and written about antebellum United States history and 19th-century American literature since 1995. He has worked in Concord as a public historian and Living History Interpreter since 1999 and has portrayed Henry Thoreau at Walden Pond and around the country. Richard has written six books for Applewood Books and is a regular contributor to Discover Concord Magazine.
