Thinking about solar for your Boston home or property? The City of Boston invites you to participate in this educational workshop!

We will explain the fundamentals of solar power generation, how net metering connects your panels to the local grid, and how solar energy can contribute to lowering your monthly energy costs!

Learn more about the City's new Solar Loan Pilot Program here.

You can bring your own military issued fabric, though all materials for the workshop will be provided. Take home a handmade sheet of paper, created through this group process. Participants can attend one or both days. Drew will give an overview of the program, and then we'll sit down and make paper together!

COMBAT PAPER® transforms military uniforms into handmade paper. A uniform worn through military service carries with it stories and experiences that are in the woven threads. Creating paper and artwork from these fibers carries these same qualities. We have found that all of us are connected to the military. When these connections are discovered and shared it can open a deeper understanding between people and expand our collective beliefs about military service and war.

24 participants max, registration required. Non-registered visitors may observe the workshop.

Ensemble Altera, one of today’s most compelling professional chamber choirs, presents the world premiere of Declarations, a major new choral work by Piers Connor Kennedy.

Spanning 75 minutes without intermission, Declarations is a bold and deeply human meditation on the Declaration of Independence—its creation, ideals, contradictions, and ongoing legacy. Drawing on a rich tapestry of texts, from Thomas Jefferson and Langston Hughes, to contemporary voices including Tracy K. Smith, dg nanouk okpik, and William Ashford, among others, the work refracts 250 years of history through a modern, emotionally powerful lens.
