SUMMARY:Glen David Andrews at De la Luz Soundstage
DESCRIPTION:Cafe opens for dinner at 6:00. Show begins at 7:00. \nJoin us for a Mardi Gras celebration where New Orleans brass meets culinary magic\, featuring the electrifying “Treme Prince” himself\, Glen David Andrews. Experience a vibrant evening where the raw\, soulful energy of traditional jazz intertwines with a curated menu inspired by Louisiana’s rich culinary heritage. Each bite—from spicy gumbo to crispy shrimp po’ boy—will be perfectly orchestrated to complement the band’s brass-powered rhythms\, creating an unforgettable celebration for Mardi Gras. \nGlen David Andrews\, a native son and a beloved musician of New Orleans\, is a warrior for cultural preservation at a time when indigenous traditions are being threatened in the city. \nHis commanding voice and fierce trombone sound – both a powerful\, emotional\, and resonant blend of smoothness and grit – as well as his disarmingly honest manner provide a musical experience that never fails to meet the moment. \nGlen’s music is packed with beauty\, hard-earned truths\, compassion\, humor\, anger\, joy\, and – most of all – hope. \nGlen comes from a storied and extended family of musicians. He was born in New Orleans’ historic Tremé neighborhood\, which many consider to be the oldest Black community in the United States. Transfixed by the magic and mystery of the city’s second-line parades\, Andrews and his older brother\, Derrick Tabb of the Rebirth Brass Band\, along with their younger cousin Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews\, learned the history of the brass band tradition firsthand from iconic figures like Tuba Fats.

SUMMARY:Open Gallery Hours: "Colors of Grief\," A Rick's Place Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Rick’s Place Honors Children’s Grief Awareness Month with “Colors of Grief”\, an art exhibit showcasing poignant artwork created by both youth and adult participants from Rick’s Place. \nRick’s Place\, a beacon of support for children\, teens\, and families navigating grief\, is proud to present a special gallery exhibit at the historic Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Titled “Colors of Grief\,” artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate\, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief. \nRick’s Place aims to have this event serve a dual purpose: raising greater awareness about the profound impact of death\, grief\, and loss on youth and families\, and providing a platform for individuals to tell their stories through creative expression. With over 5\,000 children in Hampden County experiencing the loss of a parent or sibling\, Rick’s Place\, a non-profit organization\, extends its helping hand to youth between the ages of 5 and 18\, along with their caregivers\, who have confronted death. Peer support programs\, both on-site and in local schools\, help youth feel supported\, understood\, and less alone in their grief. \nWe cordially invite you to join us in celebrating these talented artists as they generously share their personal grief stories as we work towards broadening awareness of the profound impact that grief has on the lives of youth and their families.

SUMMARY:Open Gallery Hours: "Colors of Grief\," A Rick's Place Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Rick’s Place Honors Children’s Grief Awareness Month with “Colors of Grief”\, an art exhibit showcasing poignant artwork created by both youth and adult participants from Rick’s Place. \nRick’s Place\, a beacon of support for children\, teens\, and families navigating grief\, is proud to present a special gallery exhibit at the historic Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Titled “Colors of Grief\,” artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate\, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief. \nRick’s Place aims to have this event serve a dual purpose: raising greater awareness about the profound impact of death\, grief\, and loss on youth and families\, and providing a platform for individuals to tell their stories through creative expression. With over 5\,000 children in Hampden County experiencing the loss of a parent or sibling\, Rick’s Place\, a non-profit organization\, extends its helping hand to youth between the ages of 5 and 18\, along with their caregivers\, who have confronted death. Peer support programs\, both on-site and in local schools\, help youth feel supported\, understood\, and less alone in their grief. \nWe cordially invite you to join us in celebrating these talented artists as they generously share their personal grief stories as we work towards broadening awareness of the profound impact that grief has on the lives of youth and their families. The Colors of Grief exhibit will be on display throughout February on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30-6:30pm). To encourage everyone to see this touching exhibit\, both the opening reception and gallery hours are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Children's Wartime Adventure Novels – An online book talk with local author Jacqueline T. Lynch
DESCRIPTION:Jacqueline Lynch’s new book explores how WWII children’s literature—particularly adventure novels aimed at teens and young adolescents—shaped the world views of these readers\, readers who would later become members of the ‘Silent Generation\,’ known for their conformity and strong work ethic. In Lynch’s view\, how fictional nurses (Cherry Ames and Ann Bartlett) and young aviators (Dave Dawson and Stan Wilson) navigated wartime challenges served as entertainment\, information\, and indoctrination for those old enough to know about the war\, but too young to participate. \nRegister for the Zoom event  \nMs. Lynch will be joining us on Zoom. \nJacqueline T. Lynch is the author of many novels and works of non-fiction. She is also an award-winning playwright and the author of numerous published articles and works of short fiction. She previously appeared at the Library in 2017 to talk about her book\, Comedy and Tragedy on the Mountain: 70 Years of Summer Theatre on Mt. Tom\, Holyoke\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Winter Birds in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a passion for birds? Interested in learning more about them? Join us at Wistariahurst on February 26th for the event “Winter Birds in Massachusetts!” Staff from Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary will provide two seasonal programs on birds\, both to be held at Wistariahurst in Holyoke. Join us inside the museum as Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary gives an indoor presentation on the wintering birds of our area and how to identify them. Learn about the different types of bird feeders\, what to put in them\, and when to put out food. We will also discuss community science projects and what you can do to help birds thrive. After the indoor presentation\, guests can enjoy a quick walk outside to practice identifying the birds they learned about during the session. This program is a great way for people to learn how to identify backyard birds and indulge in a new winter activity! \nThe first program\, to be held in February\, will introduce participants to birds\, with a focus on both those found in winter and those found in Holyoke. The second program\, held in September will introduce participants to how to bird by ear or identify bird sounds. Both programs will start indoors\, with a PowerPoint\, and weather dependent\, go outdoors for the last hour to practice what was learned. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Cultural Council\, a local agency that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. Winter Birds in Massachusetts is free and open to the public\, so don’t let this opportunity fly over your head! Join us on February 26th\, 2025 from 2pm-4pm!

The Colors of Grief exhibit will be on display throughout February on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30-6:30pm).

SUMMARY:Open Gallery Hours: "Colors of Grief\," A Rick's Place Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Rick’s Place Honors Children’s Grief Awareness Month with “Colors of Grief”\, an art exhibit showcasing poignant artwork created by both youth and adult participants from Rick’s Place. \nRick’s Place\, a beacon of support for children\, teens\, and families navigating grief\, is proud to present a special gallery exhibit at the historic Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Titled “Colors of Grief\,” artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate\, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief. \nRick’s Place aims to have this event serve a dual purpose: raising greater awareness about the profound impact of death\, grief\, and loss on youth and families\, and providing a platform for individuals to tell their stories through creative expression. With over 5\,000 children in Hampden County experiencing the loss of a parent or sibling\, Rick’s Place\, a non-profit organization\, extends its helping hand to youth between the ages of 5 and 18\, along with their caregivers\, who have confronted death. Peer support programs\, both on-site and in local schools\, help youth feel supported\, understood\, and less alone in their grief. \nWe cordially invite you to join us in celebrating these talented artists as they generously share their personal grief stories as we work towards broadening awareness of the profound impact that grief has on the lives of youth and their families. The Colors of Grief exhibit will be on display throughout February on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30-6:30pm). To encourage everyone to see this touching exhibit\, both the opening reception and gallery hours are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Reception: Absurd Appetites by Sheryl Anaya
DESCRIPTION:ABSURD APPETITES (TABLES FOR TWO)\nJanuary 21 – March 13\, 2025 \nAbsurd Appetites distorts the norms of a typical dining experience. Considering the deconstruction and consumption of the body\, absurd actions surprise and set the tone for the examination of our roles within gendered labor\, sexuality\, and domestic space. Humor tempers the seriousness of these topics to avoid confrontation at the dinner table. \nSheryl Anaya is a queer Puerto Rican artist and educator based in Fort Worth\, Texas. She received a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art with an emphasis in Sculpture from Texas Christian University in 2023 and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Texas Woman’s University in 2013. Sheryl’s work examines identity and empathy through the universality of the human experience\, intimate relationships\, and nostalgia\, whether humorous or gut-wrenching. \nJoin us to celebrate the opening of Absurd Appetites with an opening reception including refreshments and an artist talk by Anaya.

You can view MATRIA by Michelle Falcón Fontánez on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm) from January 13th through March 25th\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Paw & Play - New Exhibit Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Children’s Museum at Holyoke is pleased to announce the completion of our newest exhibit\, The Paw & Play! Join us for our grand opening as we celebrate with FREE Museum Admission\, guided activities\, local organizations\, and a visit from Love on a Leash therapy dogs! \nThis exhibit is a holistic approach to public safety through a helping lens with the help of our furry friends\, the working dogs! Looking at K9 Dogs\, Service Dogs\, Search and Rescue Dogs\, Herding Dogs\, and Therapy Dogs we learn how these canines help their human companions and the community at large. The exhibit itself is modeled after a training agility course\, comparing and contrasting human vs. canine abilities with active play pieces and educational wall texts graphics\, in Spanish and English. \nPlay pieces include a ‘Canine Climb’ rock wall\, jump test\, climbing rope with foam pit\, balance beam\, and small movable equipment to allow the option of guided activities. \nThis installation was designed and executed entirely in-house with illustration and graphic design done by local artist Sam Lou and printing done around the corner at The Print Shop by Holyoke Art – it’s a 100% local effort. From painting\, to building\, to installing wall graphics\, it was all done by hand! \nWhen? November 23rd \n10:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Free Admission! \n12:00 AM – 4:00 PM – Regular Museum Admission \nWhere? 444 Dwight Street\, Holyoke\, MA 01040! \nTabling organizations\, refreshments\, and visiting therapy dogs will be upstairs in our picnic area and guided activities and crafts will be run downstairs on the Museum floor in and out of the new exhibit!
