A LIMELight Exhibition by Karyn Alzayer
 Meet the Artist Reception: Friday, November 13 | 6:00–8:00 PM Grief is a difficult subject in a culture that often asks us to move quickly toward positivity, healing, and letting go. Facing Grief: On Life, Loss &amp; Honoring What Remains is an exhibition by artist Karyn Alzayer that invites us to sit with complicated emotions and consider the many ways we live with loss. Working with natural materials, found objects, and using intricate filigree, Alzayer transforms familiar elements in unexpected ways. Her compelling mixed media works give visual form to conflicting experiences that can be difficult to express—grief and joy, love and absence, asking us to balance the enduring connections we carry with us against the quiet process of making meaning from what has been lost. Her work encourages us to pause, reflect, and recognize that sorrow and beauty can exist side by side. Grief does not follow a simple path. It asks us to hold many truths at once and to find ways to move forward while honoring what remains. Meet the Artist Reception Join us at The Gallery@57 on Friday, November 13, from 6:00–8:00 PM to meet Karyn Alzayer, see the exhibition, and learn more about the inspiration behind her work. Come engage in conversation and hear from Alzayer in her own words as she shares her experience of processing personal loss and expressing it visually. A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will benefit Monarch Meadow Carefarm, supporting its work connecting people with nature, animals, and healing. The exhibition is on view October 1 through November 29, 2026 at: The Gallery@5757 Pleasant StreetMalden, MA The Gallery@57 is an artist-run shop and gallery featuring the work of more than 50 local artists, artisans, and authors. Come see the exhibition—and while you’re here, explore the many one-of-a-kind works available in the shop.

Please join us for Movie Night on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 from 6:00-8:15pm at the Malden Public Library. We will be showing a film based on the life and memoir of John Davidson called, I Swear: My Life With Tourette’s. The film stars Robert Aramayo, Maxine Peake, and Scott Ellis Watson and it is directed by Kirk Jones. This critically acclaimed film helps bring about awareness about people living with Tourette syndrome.
“The inspiring, extraordinary life story of notable Tourette Syndrome activist, John Davidson – played by BAFTA award winner Robert Aramayo. This emotionally engaging, funny and compelling film charts John Davidson’s Tourette’s diagnosis at the age of 14 years old. Set within 1980s Britain, the story follows him throughout his troubled teens and early adulthood, and explores this little known and entirely misunderstood condition, along with his attempts to live a ‘normal’ life against the odds.” 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.&nbsp;Rated R (125 min.) (2026)

Free snacks will be provided. Movie times are approximate.
