A space for people across age range and ability to come and celebrate a gift they have or want to explore. Although there may be some of that, you don't need to be an "expert" or be on Broadway to come up to the mic. Sing a song, play an instrument, tell a story, perform an act, speak about your art. Anything you are passionate about.
We will affirm and celebrate all ages and abilities.
10 people. 4-5 minutes each.
Come participate and encounter something beautiful.
We’ll have hors d’oeuvres & beverages. Feel free to bring a little something to add to the table. Most importantly, just bring YOU.
The event will take place in our beautiful chapel space.
Wait, there's more? Yes.
We will have Musa Collective artists and Andrew Riley, documentary family photographer, displaying their (descriptions below) work.

Andrew Riley graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Graphic Design. Andy is a visual thinker and storyteller. When not designing, Andy enjoys documenting life’s moments, and is giddy when he’s captured an image that makes people feel something. Specialized in documentary family photography, Andy is inspired by its ability to capture, forever in time, real human emotions and honest connections between people. Real life is raw, vulnerable, tender, funny, awkward and brief. What's not to love? To learn more, click here.

Julia von Metzsch Ramos (MFA), a painter from Boston, uses transparent layers of paint to achieve depth and illusion. This disjunction between the layers of paint application creates a tension particularly well suited to the ever-changing New England weather. Julia is in the collection of Danforth Art and the Cape Anne Museum. Her work can also be seen at Mercury Gallery in Rockport, MA and at Gallery Naga in Boston, MA. Julia works at Massachusetts College of Fine Arts as adjunct faculty. A founder and member of the Musa Collective, Julia currently lives and works in Cambridge. To learn more, click here.
Alla Lazebnik (MFA), is a figurative painter and printmaker born in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia and currently based out of the Boston area.

She has taken part in juried exhibitions throughout the states of FL, MA, NH, NY, OR, TX, and VT, including recently at the Off the Wall show in the Danforth Museum. Alla currently works as an Adjunct Art Professor at Lasell College. To learn more, click here.
