SUMMARY:AOH Irish Flag Raising
DESCRIPTION:The Ancient Order of Hibernians James A. Curran Division 1 and the Ladies Order of Hibernians Division 2 of Hampden/Hampshire Counties will celebrate Irish American Heritage Month with an Irish flag raising ceremony at Holyoke City Hall on Monday\, March 2\, at 10 a.m. at Holyoke City Hall. The public is invited to attend. \nHibernian President Joseph O’Connor will preside as Master of Ceremonies. St Patrick’s Parade President Jim Wildman\, Parade Grand Marshal Michael Moriarty\, Ladies Order of Hibernians President Mary Kate O’Connor\, President Sean Cahillane of the Irish Cultural Center of Western New England all plan to attend. Piper Matt O’Connor will play the pipes at the event and Sheila Moreau will sing the American and Irish Anthems. \nHolyoke Mayor Joshua A. Garcia and City officials will also attend. \nSome 31.5 million Americans claim Irish Ancestry. The colors of the symbolic Irish Flag represent Green for Roman Catholics and Nationalism\, Orange for the Protestant minority\, and the White in between the two colors as hope for lasting peace between the two. \nThe U.S. Congress designated March as Irish American Heritage Month in 1991 to recognize the contributions Irish Americans have made to the country. The Ancient Order of Hibernians was founded in New York City in 1836 and in 1880 in Holyoke.

SUMMARY:Karan Casey
DESCRIPTION:Karan Casey has been a force in Irish music for more than three decades. A masterful singer and storyteller\, she brings ballads\, love songs\, and powerful social-justice work into the present with clarity\, fire\, and heart. Her voice is unmistakable—tender\, commanding\, and rooted in tradition while always pushing into new territory. \nOver her expansive career\, she’s toured the world\, released eleven acclaimed albums\, and collaborated with artists ranging from James Taylor to Béla Fleck\, The Chieftains\, and Peggy Seeger. She’s also a founder of FairPlé\, the movement for gender equity in Irish traditional and folk music\, and continues to expand her artistry through theatre\, spoken word\, and original composition. \nHer latest album\, Nine Apples of Gold\, soared to No. 1 on the US Folk Radio charts and cemented her place as one of the most vital voices in contemporary folk. \nWe’re thrilled to welcome Karan Casey back to De la Luz on March 8. Karan was one of the first artists we had the honor to present when we first reopened in September\, 2024.  She returns just in time for St. Patrick’s season\, and we are so pleased to host her again. This show will be intimate\, moving\, and beautifully Irish.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "Liberty and Labor" Exhibit at Wistariahurst
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is celebrating the Fourth Annual Women’s History Month juried art showcase. This year\, the theme is women’s labor and community building efforts. An opening reception for this exhibit entitled Liberty and Labor will be held on March 10th\, 2026. \nLiberty and Labor includes the work of artists who identify as women or nonbinary. Historically\, Women’s labor has been undervalued and overlooked. Oftentimes\, the work women have done in areas such as homemaking\, community building\, and parenting\, has not even been viewed as work. Liberty and Labor highlights these efforts\, and others\, that showcase the hard work and dedication of women throughout history. From fiber art to painting\, and sculpture\, this exhibit includes a wide array of thought provoking pieces that connect with this theme. \nArtists featured in this exhibit include Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey\, and Nancy Myrdal Carroll . There are also several other artists who have been awarded honorable mentions and will display their work as well. \nThe opening reception of Liberty and labor will be held Tuesday\, March 10th\, from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. Wistariahurst is an artist-friendly space that encourages creativity and supports the growth of this region’s artists. Open Gallery Hours will be held from March 10th – April 7th on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm)\, which will also be free and open to the public. We hope that you stop by and explore Liberty and Labor. \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nEl Museo Wistariahurst celebra la cuarta edición anual de la exposición de arte con jurado del Mes de la Historia de la Mujer. Este año\, el tema es el trabajo de las mujeres y sus esfuerzos por construir comunidad. La recepción inaugural de esta exposición\, titulada «Libertad y trabajo»\, se celebrará el 10 de marzo de 2026. \n«Libertad y trabajo» incluye obras de artistas que se identifican como mujeres o no binarias. Históricamente\, el trabajo de las mujeres ha sido infravalorado y pasado por alto. A menudo\, el trabajo que las mujeres han realizado en ámbitos como las tareas domésticas\, la construcción de la comunidad y la crianza de los hijos ni siquiera se ha considerado trabajo. «Libertad y trabajo» destaca estos esfuerzos\, entre otros\, que muestran el arduo trabajo y la dedicación de las mujeres a lo largo de la historia. Desde arte textil hasta pintura y escultura\, esta exposición incluye una amplia gama de piezas que invitan a la reflexión y que conectan con este tema. \nEntre los artistas que participan en esta exposición se encuentran Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey y Nancy Myrdal Carroll. También hay otros artistas que han recibido menciones honoríficas y que también expondrán sus obras. \nLa recepción inaugural de Liberty and labor tendrá lugar el martes 10 de marzo\, de 4:30 a 6:30 p. m. Wistariahurst es un espacio acogedor para los artistas que fomenta la creatividad y apoya el crecimiento de los artistas de esta región. El horario de apertura de la galería será del 10 de marzo al 7 de abril\, los lunes (de 10:00 a 14:00) y los martes (de 16:30 a 18:30)\, y será gratuito y abierto al público. Esperamos que se acerque y explore «Libertad y trabajo». \nEste programa está financiado en parte por una subvención del Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, una agencia local que cuenta con el apoyo del Mass Cultural Council\, una agencia estatal.

SUMMARY:Holyoke in the Flood of 1936
DESCRIPTION:Ninety years ago\, in March of 1936\, the Connecticut River overtopped the Holyoke Dam by seventeen feet\, reaching a record discharge of 244\,000 cfs.  The B&M Railroad tracks became impassable\, and the city—then home to about 55\,000 residents—sustained serious damage.  Author and emergency management professional Josh Shanley will speak about this disaster at the Holyoke Public Library on March 14 at 1:00 PM.   This historical lecture will describe the causes of\, impact of\, and recovery from the flood of ’36\, with particular focus on Holyoke and South Hadley.  As floods know no boundaries\, his talk will place the event in both historical and regional context.  Shanley’s emergency management background also allows him to share his insights into the potential impact of future floods in this area. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Story of Elizabeth "MumBet" Freeman
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the story of Elizabeth “MumBet” Freeman during this performance by Hidden Women Stage Company. \nWistariahurst Museum is excited to announce an upcoming performance sharing the story of Elizabeth “MumBet” Freeman in celebration of Massachusetts’ 250th anniversary. This historical interpretation from Freeman’s perspective will highlight her experiences and contribution to Massachusetts history. This event will be held Sunday\, March 15th during Civic Learning Week. \nElizabeth “MumBet” Freeman was the first enslaved African American to file and win a freedom suit in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling\, in Freeman’s favor\, found slavery to be inconsistent with the 1789 Massachusetts State Constitution. Her suit\, Brom and Bett v. Ashley (1781)\, was cited in the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court appellate review of Quock Walker’s freedom suit. When the court upheld Walker’s freedom under the state’s constitution\, the ruling was considered to have implicitly ended slavery in Massachusetts. \nThis performance is being brought to Wistariahurst by Hidden Women Stage Company. Hidden Women helps historical sites tell the accurate and complete stories of the past\, ensuring all people’s narratives are represented and celebrated. Owner\, and Executive Artistic Director\, Tammy Denease\, is an accomplished Historian\, Artist\, and Storyteller passionate about amplifying the voices of those who have been overlooked by history. \nImmerse yourself in the story of Elizabeth “MumBet” Freeman and learn how she made history. Join Tammy Denease of Hidden Women Stage Company on Sunday\, March 15th\, 2026 from 1:00-2:00pm at Wistariahurst Museum. Tickets will be available on Wistariahurst’s Eventbrite page. Sliding scale admission is offered for this event\, with tickets ranging from $0 – $15.

Esta interpretación histórica desde la perspectiva de Freeman pondrá de relieve sus experiencias y su contribución a la historia de Massachusetts. El evento tendrá lugar el domingo 15 de marzo\, durante la Semana del Aprendizaje Cívico. \nElizabeth «MumBet» Freeman fue la primera afroamericana esclavizada en presentar y ganar una demanda por libertad en Massachusetts. La sentencia del Tribunal Supremo Judicial de Massachusetts\, a favor de Freeman\, consideró que la esclavitud era incompatible con la Constitución del Estado de Massachusetts de 1789. Su demanda\, Brom and Bett v. Ashley (1781)\, fue citada en la revisión de apelación del Tribunal Supremo Judicial de Massachusetts de la demanda por la libertad de Quock Walker. Cuando el tribunal confirmó la libertad de Walker en virtud de la constitución del estado\, se consideró que la sentencia había puesto fin implícitamente a la esclavitud en Massachusetts. \nEsta representación llega a Wistariahurst de la mano de la compañía Hidden Women Stage Company. Hidden Women ayuda a los lugares históricos a contar las historias del pasado de forma precisa y completa\, asegurándose de que se representen y celebren las narrativas de todas las personas. La propietaria y directora artística ejecutiva\, Tammy Denease\, es una consumada historiadora\, artista y narradora apasionada por amplificar las voces de aquellos que han sido ignorados por la historia. \nSumérgete en la historia de Elizabeth «MumBet» Freeman y descubre cómo hizo historia. Únete a Tammy Denease\, de Hidden Women Stage Company\, el domingo 15 de marzo de 2026\, de 13:00 a 14:00\, en el Museo Wistariahurst. Las entradas estarán disponibles en la página de Eventbrite de Wistariahurst. Se ofrece una entrada con escala móvil para este evento\, con precios que oscilan entre 0 y 15 dólares. \nEste programa está financiado en parte por una subvención del Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, una agencia local que cuenta con el apoyo del Mass Cultural Council\, una agencia estatal.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "Liberty and Labor" Exhibit at Wistariahurst

An opening reception for this exhibit entitled Liberty and Labor will be held on March 10th\, 2026. \nLiberty and Labor includes the work of artists who identify as women or nonbinary. Historically\, Women’s labor has been undervalued and overlooked. Oftentimes\, the work women have done in areas such as homemaking\, community building\, and parenting\, has not even been viewed as work.

From fiber art to painting\, and sculpture\, this exhibit includes a wide array of thought provoking pieces that connect with this theme. \nArtists featured in this exhibit include Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey\, and Nancy Myrdal Carroll .

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "Liberty and Labor" Exhibit at Wistariahurst
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is celebrating the Fourth Annual Women’s History Month juried art showcase. This year\, the theme is women’s labor and community building efforts. An opening reception for this exhibit entitled Liberty and Labor will be held on March 10th\, 2026. \nLiberty and Labor includes the work of artists who identify as women or nonbinary. Historically\, Women’s labor has been undervalued and overlooked. Oftentimes\, the work women have done in areas such as homemaking\, community building\, and parenting\, has not even been viewed as work. Liberty and Labor highlights these efforts\, and others\, that showcase the hard work and dedication of women throughout history. From fiber art to painting\, and sculpture\, this exhibit includes a wide array of thought provoking pieces that connect with this theme. \nArtists featured in this exhibit include Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey\, and Nancy Myrdal Carroll . There are also several other artists who have been awarded honorable mentions and will display their work as well. \nThe opening reception of Liberty and labor will be held Tuesday\, March 10th\, from 4:30 – 6:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Beginning Your Spiritual Journey
DESCRIPTION:Every spiritual path begins with a single step… but it is the foundation of those steps that determines how far you can go. Beginning Your Spiritual Journey is a twelve-week Live In-Person immersive course designed to give you the tools\, practices\, and wisdom to start safely\, clearly\, and with confidence. Over the span of three months\, you will learn how to ground and protect your energy\, clear your field\, and strengthen your spiritual awareness. Week by week\, you’ll discover how to work with the elements of Earth\, Water\, Fire\, and Air; awaken the chakras and understand their role in your wellbeing; and practice seeing auras\, connecting with guides\, and sensing energy in yourself and others. With every session\, you will experience your growth in real time\, noticing how much stronger\, steadier\, and more open your energy becomes. This is not theory alone. You will be given practical exercises: feeling and moving energy in your hands\, using breathwork to balance the elements\, learning to sense truth from falsehood\, practicing psychometry\, and even exploring the four directions and their sacred teachings. We will weave together grounding\, natural law\, compassion\, and spiritual hygiene so that your journey begins from a place of strength. By the end of the twelve weeks\, you will have a living road map to continue your path; one that includes protection practices\, a deeper understanding of your own aura and chakras\, connection with spirit guides\, and a foundation of natural law and compassion to guide you. This course is perfect for those at the beginning of their spiritual awakening\, as well as anyone who has explored before but longs for a stronger\, safer\, more heart-centered foundation. “Early Bird” Coupon Code upon checkout to save $25 if you sign up by Feb 28!

SUMMARY:Ladies First: House Classics Live
DESCRIPTION:Join Genuine Culture\, LLC for a high-energy\, live music celebration honoring the powerhouse women whose voices defined the golden era of house music. This electrifying concert experience will feature a live band led by Drummer extraordinaire Dwayne Keith and a lineup of dynamic female vocalists performing iconic dance floor anthems made famous by artists such as CeCe Peniston\, Robin S\, Crystal Waters\, Martha Wash\, Inner City\, Corona\, and Black Box. \nRooted in the cultural legacy of house music — a genre born from Black\, Latinx\, and LGBTQ+ communities in the 1980s — Ladies First highlights the art form’s deep connection to freedom\, empowerment\, inclusivity\, and self-expression. Through rhythm\, melody\, and movement\, house music has long been a celebration of life and community — a place where people come together to heal\, rejoice\, and feel seen. \nPresented in honor of Women’s History Month\, this event shines a light on the female vocalists who gave house music its soul. Their messages of love\, resilience\, and liberation continue to resonate across generations. Ladies First: House Classics Live will not only honor their artistic contributions but also invite audiences to experience the joy\, unity\, and spirit that make house music timeless. \nThis event is supported by the good folks at Holyoke Cultural Council

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: "Liberty and Labor" Exhibit at Wistariahurst
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is celebrating the Fourth Annual Women’s History Month juried art showcase. This year\, the theme is women’s labor and community building efforts. An opening reception for this exhibit entitled Liberty and Labor will be held on March 10th\, 2026. \nLiberty and Labor includes the work of artists who identify as women or nonbinary. Historically\, Women’s labor has been undervalued and overlooked. Oftentimes\, the work women have done in areas such as homemaking\, community building\, and parenting\, has not even been viewed as work. Liberty and Labor highlights these efforts\, and others\, that showcase the hard work and dedication of women throughout history. From fiber art to painting\, and sculpture\, this exhibit includes a wide array of thought provoking pieces that connect with this theme. \nArtists featured in this exhibit include Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey\, and Nancy Myrdal Carroll . There are also several other artists who have been awarded honorable mentions and will display their work as well. \nThe opening reception of Liberty and labor will be held Tuesday\, March 10th\, from 4:30 – 6:30 pm. Wistariahurst is an artist-friendly space that encourages creativity and supports the growth of this region’s artists. Open Gallery Hours will be held from March 10th – April 7th on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30pm-6:30pm)\, which will also be free and open to the public. We hope that you stop by and explore Liberty and Labor. \nThis program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nEl Museo Wistariahurst celebra la cuarta edición anual de la exposición de arte con jurado del Mes de la Historia de la Mujer. Este año\, el tema es el trabajo de las mujeres y sus esfuerzos por construir comunidad. La recepción inaugural de esta exposición\, titulada «Libertad y trabajo»\, se celebrará el 10 de marzo de 2026. \n«Libertad y trabajo» incluye obras de artistas que se identifican como mujeres o no binarias. Históricamente\, el trabajo de las mujeres ha sido infravalorado y pasado por alto. A menudo\, el trabajo que las mujeres han realizado en ámbitos como las tareas domésticas\, la construcción de la comunidad y la crianza de los hijos ni siquiera se ha considerado trabajo. «Libertad y trabajo» destaca estos esfuerzos\, entre otros\, que muestran el arduo trabajo y la dedicación de las mujeres a lo largo de la historia. Desde arte textil hasta pintura y escultura\, esta exposición incluye una amplia gama de piezas que invitan a la reflexión y que conectan con este tema. \nEntre los artistas que participan en esta exposición se encuentran Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey y Nancy Myrdal Carroll. También hay otros artistas que han recibido menciones honoríficas y que también expondrán sus obras. \nLa recepción inaugural de Liberty and labor tendrá lugar el martes 10 de marzo\, de 4:30 a 6:30 p. m. Wistariahurst es un espacio acogedor para los artistas que fomenta la creatividad y apoya el crecimiento de los artistas de esta región. El horario de apertura de la galería será del 10 de marzo al 7 de abril\, los lunes (de 10:00 a 14:00) y los martes (de 16:30 a 18:30)\, y será gratuito y abierto al público. Esperamos que se acerque y explore «Libertad y trabajo». \nEste programa está financiado en parte por una subvención del Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, una agencia local que cuenta con el apoyo del Mass Cultural Council\, una agencia estatal.

SUMMARY:Beginning Your Spiritual Journey
DESCRIPTION:Every spiritual path begins with a single step… but it is the foundation of those steps that determines how far you can go. Beginning Your Spiritual Journey is a twelve-week Live In-Person immersive course designed to give you the tools\, practices\, and wisdom to start safely\, clearly\, and with confidence. Over the span of three months\, you will learn how to ground and protect your energy\, clear your field\, and strengthen your spiritual awareness. Week by week\, you’ll discover how to work with the elements of Earth\, Water\, Fire\, and Air; awaken the chakras and understand their role in your wellbeing; and practice seeing auras\, connecting with guides\, and sensing energy in yourself and others. With every session\, you will experience your growth in real time\, noticing how much stronger\, steadier\, and more open your energy becomes. This is not theory alone. You will be given practical exercises: feeling and moving energy in your hands\, using breathwork to balance the elements\, learning to sense truth from falsehood\, practicing psychometry\, and even exploring the four directions and their sacred teachings. We will weave together grounding\, natural law\, compassion\, and spiritual hygiene so that your journey begins from a place of strength. By the end of the twelve weeks\, you will have a living road map to continue your path; one that includes protection practices\, a deeper understanding of your own aura and chakras\, connection with spirit guides\, and a foundation of natural law and compassion to guide you. This course is perfect for those at the beginning of their spiritual awakening\, as well as anyone who has explored before but longs for a stronger\, safer\, more heart-centered foundation. “Early Bird” Coupon Code upon checkout to save $25 if you sign up by Feb 28!

A menudo\, el trabajo que las mujeres han realizado en ámbitos como las tareas domésticas\, la construcción de la comunidad y la crianza de los hijos ni siquiera se ha considerado trabajo. «Libertad y trabajo» destaca estos esfuerzos\, entre otros\, que muestran el arduo trabajo y la dedicación de las mujeres a lo largo de la historia. Desde arte textil hasta pintura y escultura\, esta exposición incluye una amplia gama de piezas que invitan a la reflexión y que conectan con este tema. \nEntre los artistas que participan en esta exposición se encuentran Jankaleishka Burgos Cruz\, Amy Crawley\, Campbell Lackey y Nancy Myrdal Carroll. También hay otros artistas que han recibido menciones honoríficas y que también expondrán sus obras. \nLa recepción inaugural de Liberty and labor tendrá lugar el martes 10 de marzo\, de 4:30 a 6:30 p. m. Wistariahurst es un espacio acogedor para los artistas que fomenta la creatividad y apoya el crecimiento de los artistas de esta región. El horario de apertura de la galería será del 10 de marzo al 7 de abril\, los lunes (de 10:00 a 14:00) y los martes (de 16:30 a 18:30)\, y será gratuito y abierto al público. Esperamos que se acerque y explore «Libertad y trabajo». \nEste programa está financiado en parte por una subvención del Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, una agencia local que cuenta con el apoyo del Mass Cultural Council\, una agencia estatal.
