SUMMARY:YOURS\, ISABELLA: a play by Ulrika Brand Open Rehearsal for Senior Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Drop into Wistariahurst Museum this spring to enjoy Yours\, Isabella\, the dramatic reading of a new play about museum founder Isabella Stewart Gardner written by Ulrika Brand. To be performed by professional actors and UMass Amherst theater students\, Yours\, Isabella focuses on the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner from 1887 to 1903\, beginning when she commissioned her portrait by John Singer Sargent and made her first major art purchases. The play also explores Gardner’s relationship with art advisor Bernard Berenson\, showcasing their friendship and Berenson’s self-invention. In an era when women were expected to focus on domestic roles\, Gardner defied norms by turning her home into a salon for artists and musicians\, and building a museum in Boston that remains a magnificent cultural attraction. \n“Ms. Brand’s play is a fascinating examination of the interplay between the passion for collecting and gender restrictions on women in the Gilded Age\,” comments Monika Schmitter\, Professor of Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “Based on historical letters by Isabella Stewart Gardner and her art advisors\, it vividly portrays the sometimes unsavory dealings that led to the establishment of one of the country’s most famous and unique house museums.” \nStephanie Carlson leads the cast as Isabella Stewart Gardner\, accompanied by Frank Aronson\, Carolyn Cooper\, Rebecca Hicks\, Michael Jay\, Kimberly Salditt Poulin\, Kitty Ryan\, and Cole Seitz. This event is free and open to the public\, supported by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nOn Thursday\, April 4 at 3 pm an Open Rehearsal welcomes seniors. If tickets sell out\, drop ins are welcome.

SUMMARY:Carlos Vega Fund 2024 Grant Announcement
DESCRIPTION:The Carlos Vega Fund is proud to bring the 2024 Grant Announcement event back to the Wistariahurst Museum\, home of the Carlos Vega Archives. \nThis year\, 13 organizations will be receiving funds between $400 and $2000 to support social justice work and events in the Greater Holyoke area. \nSince 2012\, the Carlos Vega Fund for Social Justice has awarded $66\,570 to 52 organizations in the Greater Holyoke area who are fighting for justice and building community. You can find a complete list of our grantees and more information about our Fund on our website: www.carlosvegafund.org. \nThe event in the beautiful music room at the Wistariahurst Museum will start at 3pm with the program starting promptly at 3:30pm. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. \nCarlos Vega was an ardent activist for civil rights\, community-building\, education\, healthcare\, and social justice in Holyoke. The donor-advised fund\, which is managed by the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts\, was started in 2010 to honor Carlos on his 60th birthday and to continue his 40-year legacy by awarding small grants to nonprofit organizations through an annual competitive process. \nThe mini-grants – which aim to address injustice\, oppression\, and poverty in the greater Holyoke area particularly for those who are marginalized by our society – fund initiatives that foster change and promote empowerment; self-help; and economic\, political\, and social justice. \nCurrent advisory board members\nCarey Baker\, Amber Black\, Iris Crespo\, Sylvia Galván\, Tom Hidalgo\, Courtney Joaquin\, Liz O’Dair\, Idali Torres\, Aaron Vega\, Debra Vega

SUMMARY:Girls Inc. of the Valley’s Teen Advocacy Board to Host Fundraising Event
DESCRIPTION:Girls Inc. of the Valley’s Teen Advocacy Board (TAB) will host a fundraising event at the end of the month to benefit Hope for Holyoke\, a local organization welcoming all people in recovery from substance use and those affected by substance use.

Substance abuse is their chosen cause as it affects an overwhelming amount of people in the community and there is not an abundance of resources for those impacted. Girls Inc. of the Valley aims to encourage all girls to seize opportunity for continuous learning\, personal growth\, and community support. Their mission aligns with that of Hope for Holyoke\, in providing the highest quality services and supporting the well-being of the population. With this fundraising event both organizations will make a positive impact on the lives of many. \nGirls Inc. of the Valley\n480 Hampden Street\, Holyoke\, MA\nParking for the event is located at 16 Linden Street\, Holyoke\, MA

SUMMARY:Healing Hooves Fundraiser - Come for a fun afternoon of live music\, raffles and food!
DESCRIPTION:Acts of Hesed Farm is a tax-exempt charitable organization dedicated to providing equine assisted therapy and equine assisted learning to underserved populations. Since its inception two and a half years ago\, Acts of Hesed has served over 100 individuals\, including veterans\, at-risk youth\, and elders. We have had two cohorts of students from middle schools in Holyoke attend an after-school program at our farm! \nThe profound impact of our work is evident in the stories of those we have helped\, and I believe sharing our mission with others amplifies our reach and support. \nWe are hosting our 2nd annual Healing Hooves fundraiser\, Saturday August 10th.  Live Music and lunch will be provided!  We are looking for corporate sponsorship to support our ongoing efforts\, gifts of any size help. The cost of your ticket\, $50 per person\, helps to cover the expenses associated with putting on this event but also care for our animals\, provide equine therapy sessions to those who cannot afford it and enable us to expand our reach and serve even more individuals in our community.  We hope to see you there!
