Mystic Museum of Art

Taught by Lisa Miceli
Fear of making mistakes in watercolor can often prevent painters from fully exploring what the medium is capable of. This workshop focuses on approaches to watercolor that encourage spontaneity and allow the natural flow of pigment and water to help create the image, rather than relying on overcontrol of the process.
Through demonstrations, individual instruction, and small studies, the workshop guides students in experimenting with watercolor, trusting the process, and letting go of a fixed outcome. A variety of subject matter is explored, which may include land and seascapes, flowers, still life, semi-abstract imagery, and reference photos provided by participants.
All levels of students welcome.

Spend a day with us as you dive into the fascinating world of dahlias! This workshop will focus on the essential skills of dividing and planting dahlia tubers, ensuring a beautiful bloom for seasons to come. Whether you are a gardening novice or a seasoned green thumb, this day will provide you with valuable knowledge to cultivate these stunning flowers.
You will begin with an introduction to the life cycle of dahlias and the importance of proper tuber care. You’ll then receive step-by-step instruction on how to divide dahlia tubers, a vital process for maintaining healthy plants and increasing your blooms. Afterward, you will learn how to plant and care for your tubers, setting them up for success in your own garden.
Throughout the day, you’ll take time to reflect on the beauty and resilience of nature, drawing inspiration from the regenerative process of planting and growing.
There will be a demonstration of dividing tubers followed by a Q&amp;A session. Feel free to bring a few of your tuber clumps for advice on how to separate them.
Each participant will receive a bag of 8 tubers and a book of year-round dahlia care.
The program will begin at 10 AM, followed by lunch at 12:30 PM. During lunch, Julie will be available to answer questions. If additional discussion is needed, the group can reconvene afterward to address any remaining questions.
Spaces are limited, so sign up today to secure your spot!

Mystic River Drawbridge 

On Wednesday, April 22 from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m., Williams-Mystic college students will perform a live poetry reading from kayaks on the Mystic River beneath the Bascule Bridge.
Part of a Global Ocean Literature course taught by Professor Ned Schaumberg, the event features poems about climate, the ocean, and place in a call-and-response format between kayaks and the shoreline. The performance brings poetry off the page and into the environment it describes.
“It’s one thing to read about the ocean,” Schaumberg said. “It’s another to look down at the water the poem is talking about. The words land differently.”
Free and open to the public. <a href="https://mystic.williams.edu/poem-and-place/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">To read more about past pop-ups, click here.</a> Stop by for a quick Earth Day program on the Mystic River!<a href="https://mystic.williams.edu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Williams-Mystic</a> is a one-semester study-away program of Williams College, in partnership with Mystic Seaport Museum, and has been part of the Mystic community since 1977. For nearly 50 years, college students from across the country have come here each semester to study the ocean through science, policy, history, and literature, with hands-on learning in coastal communities and on the water.

Gather 360

A building long familiar to local residents as a beloved auto body shop in the Mago Point section of Waterford has been thoughtfully reintroduced as Gather 360, a boutique gathering space designed for smaller, memorable celebrations. The venue is especially suited for bridal and baby showers, rehearsal dinners, micro-weddings, and other intimate gatherings. Rather than a traditional banquet hall, the setting feels relaxed and welcoming, allowing guests to open the three-bay garage doors and move comfortably between indoor gathering rooms and the surrounding outdoor areas. Natural textures, warm wood tones, and lush garden spaces create an atmosphere that feels tucked away, encouraging conversation and connection rather than formality. The grounds include a reservable pickleball court for members along landscaped paths and gardens that attract seasonal monarch butterflies, giving visitors a reason to linger and return beyond a single event. The property also features Gather 360 Eats, a one-of-a-kind coastal container kitchen offering familiar local favorites prepared with a simple, elevated approach. Guests may order online or at the service window and enjoy outdoor dining throughout the property. Gather 360 is currently booking events and welcoming guests for the 2026 season.
