Final week to view the bold new exhibition at The Umbrella Arts Center in Concord! Noted artist and curator Cedric Vise1 Douglas has found inspiration in a provocative work of theater, George C. Wolfe's satirical play, The Colored Museum, to create a visual journey of the Black Past, Present and Future. Offering a diverse array of media, styles and audience engagement experiences, The Colored Museum: Past/Present/Future features work by 9 emerging and established Black artists from throughout the eastern U.S. including Thomas "Kwest" Burns, Barrington Edwards, Ifé Franklin, Nettrice Gaskins, Shea Justice, Chaz Maviyane-Davies, Keith Morris Washington and Douglas himself. Also included is work by the late outsider artist, Justin Printice
The museum, located at 295 North Road, holds house tours every 2nd and 4th Sunday, 2 - 4 pm. May through October. The tours take about 35 minutes, and the barn tour follows the house tours. The Memory Lane Gift Shop is in the newly built timber-frame barn. We are currently looking for tour guides, and greeters. We train you and provide colonial clothing.

On Tuesday, June 28 at 7 pm the Bedford Center for the Arts Photo Group is pleased to welcome Jessica Burko who will review with us “My Five Best Shots”. This very popular session is back once again. It is a time for members to look back on their photography over the past year and share what has been meaningful to them: new techniques tried; great images made or attempted; photo experiences that were meaningful to them. Not a critique - members will have time to tell the group about their work and what it means to them. Jessica Burko
Jenn Bouchard will be selling and signing copies of her award-winning novel FIRST COURSE at J. McLaughlin in Concord on June 30th from 1-4 PM.
