From new visual artists to those working for decades, understanding color is imperative in creating successful work. Let our color theory expert, Lee Su, show you how to master color. If you feel like your work is taking you more time because you keep having to correct it, this is absolutely the class for you. Even well-established visual artists know the vital importance of growing their knowledge of color theory. Color mixing is knowledge that can be applied to all mediums of visual art. This workshop is an intensive study of color to challenge the facts you may think you know. Color is explored in the form of natural light and pigments of paint. Classes are designed for your personal pace and goals!

Robbins Library

Join us for a fascinating discussion with Alex Krapf, First Vice President of the American Numismatic Society, about the evolution of medal design in America. Krapf’s talk will span 250 years of history, from the first American medal commissioned by Benjamin Franklin, to the classically inspired designs of 19th-century and the bold innovations of the modern era. Along the way, he will explore the ways in which politics, technology, and artistic movements influenced medal design, and how Cyrus Dallin’s own coin and medal designs contributed to the development of this art form. Krapf will bring select medals from his own collection for attendees to view up close!

This event is free and will take place at Robbins Library, 700 Mass. Ave., Arlington. No reservations are required.
Sponsored by the Cyrus Dallin Art Museum and Robbins Library in conjunction with Hidden Treasures, a month-long celebration of nature and culture organized by Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area.

Commonwealth School Virtual Information Session for Fall 2027 Admission

Local filmmaker Roger Hagopian presents his documentary film, Memories Flow Beneath It, From Valley to Quabbin. This 69-minute film traces the displacement of people and the loss of a way of life in the Swift River Valley of western Massachusetts, when the Quabbin Reservoir flooded four towns in order to create water infrastructure for 52 Boston metropolitan communities. Several interviewees include former valley residents, historians, and authors, notably J.R. Greene, who has written numerous books on the subject.
The ever-westward evolution of the water systems begins with springs on the Shawmut Peninsula of Boston in 1630, an aqueduct from Jamaica Pond, the Cochituate System emanating from Natick, which became insufficient due to the mass immigration of refugees from the Irish Famine, thus drastically increasing Boston’s population. The Great Boston Fire of 1872 exposed the limitations of the water supply, leading to the Sudbury and Wachusett systems. Italian immigrants, some of whom were stonemasons, found work on these public works projects as the system expanded further. State House debates, Supreme Court decisions, and incredible civil engineering innovations, led to the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir.&nbsp;
Former Valley residents recall their rural agricultural and&nbsp;industrial villages, family life, and the years leading up to their expulsion. The cold processes of eminent domain and eviction caused lifelong trauma, especially for the elderly. Generations of history were demolished by 1938 and the people were not given housing and employment assistance by the state – they were on their own.Join the Friends of the Robbins Library for this free showing of the documentary and discussion with the filmmaker.

At&nbsp;Re-Examining Our Roots: The Declaration of Independence at 250, moderator Michael Kozuch, K-12 Director of Social Studies and History for the Arlington Public Schools, will present historical background on the Declaration and its continuing importance.
Break-out groups will then discuss key concepts in the Declaration and how they are relevant today.
Howard Winkler, former Arlington Historical Society President and past president of the Arlington Civil Rights Commission, will conclude with a tribute to Black Bostonian abolitionist Prince Hall, who argued that the Declaration’s assertion that “all men are created equal” applied to all Black people, and to whom a marker in the Black Masonic burial ground in Arlington is dedicated.
Refreshments will be provided.Free Admission but Registration Requested
