The Chapel, 6 p.m. Sunday, November 4.

10 people. 4-5 minutes each.

A space for people across age range and ability to come and celebrate a gift they have or want to explore. 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.

Last time, we had a local high school band and a violinist from New Phil Orchestra.
What will we have this time?

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.

Come if you are participating. Come if you are not.
​We need each other to affirm each other.


Yes, there's more!
Three artists are displaying their work. Keep reading.

Lois H. Arthur, Encaustic Artist

During my career as a psychotherapist, I have seen the beauty of the soul emerge; although frequently obstructed with layers of murky defense and protection. Encaustic art represents to me a similar experience of process, particularly with the layering process, as one continues to scrape until the beauty and truth of the piece is revealed. This uncertainty is exciting for it presents surprises as well as mystery, which can lead us to unimaginable places similar to the process of self-discovery. I have studied at the Decordova, School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Helen Day Arts Center. I also studied with artists such as Lorraine Glessner, Tracy Spadafora, Gregory Wright, Laura Moriaty as well as a fabulous watercolorist, Lisa Forster Beach of Stowe Vt. Truro Center for the Arts has been a favorite teaching school and I have been attending their Encaustic Conferences for seven years with world famous artists. To read more, click here.

​​My name is Cole and I am ten.  I have been taking pictures with an iPhone for about  three years. I’ve taken way over 100 pictures and I hope to sell them some day so I can be a pro. I especially like to take pictures of water.  My dream is to take a picture of a waterfall at sunset in L.A. 

​Zoe Arthur, Visual Artist​

My name is Zoe Arthur and I am 9 years old. I started doing art when I was about 3 years old and I have loved it ever since. My first art experience was on Christmas when I turned 3 years old. My grandmother bought me an art kit. I loved it so much and would use it whenever my mother said I could.  I have taken a couple of art classes at the Brookline Arts Center. At my school we have something called Art Equinox. It is kind of like a holiday that lasts for 2 days. During Arts Equinox we do only art stuff. Each year there is a different theme.  It includes drawing, painting, origami, music, dancing and much more. It’s very fun! My favorite type of art is Kawii drawing. I also love encaustics. I love art!
