SUMMARY:LightHouse 10 Year Celebration
DESCRIPTION:For ten remarkable years\, LightHouse has stood as a beacon of hope\, innovation\, and possibility. We’ve reimagined educational pathways\, centered young people’s voices\, and created spaces where those who didn’t thrive in traditional systems could find belonging\, purpose\, and new routes to their futures. \nFor 10 years we’ve boldly offered a new way to school\, and we’re continuing to expand our vision to serve more. \nJoin us for our 10th Anniversary\, a celebration of our first decade and a rallying cry for the work ahead. The evening begins with an open house at 5PM where you can explore our campus and see what school looks like in our new facility. We then gather in De la Luz\, our performing arts venue\, at 6PM to enjoy light bites prepared with help from our very own culinary students. The program begins at 6:45 and culminates in a concert with Fabiola Méndez\, an Emmy-nominated composer known for her unique blend of genres\, including folk\, jazz\, and Afro-Caribbean influences. Much like the LightHouse community\, her music reflects a wide range of identities\, cultures\, and roots. \nThanks to our sponsors\, including Peoples Bank\, Bueno y Sano\, and Lumber Dog\, this event is free to attend. Guests will be asked to make a meaningful gift to support this work.

SUMMARY:Trip the Light Fantastic with William Cepeda
DESCRIPTION:LightHouse Holyoke\, an accredited middle and high school for self-directed learning\, announces a community-wide Open House celebration at its newly acquired campus\, the former Gateway City Arts complex at 92 Race Street. The event\, scheduled for Thursday\, November 14 from 5:00-8:00 PM\, will showcase the transformed 40\,000-square-foot facility and feature a free concert by Grammy-nominated Afro-Rican Jazz band leader\, William Cepeda. \nThe historic three-building complex\, which LightHouse purchased in July\, has already undergone extensive renovations\, with much more in the works. The campus features two performance venues – the intimate De la Luz Divine theater and the 500-person capacity De la Luz Soundstage – along with a commercial kitchen\, café\, and an 8\,000-sq-ft maker-space-to-be. \n“This facility offers an extraordinary opportunity to expand our vision of what school can be\,” says Catherine Gobron\, co-founder and executive director. “By integrating education with public spaces for arts\, music\, and making\, we’re creating opportunities for genuine connections across diverse communities\, breaking down traditional barriers between school and life\, and building a place where social justice and transformative learning happen naturally through daily interactions.” \nThrough the new De la Luz Technical Arts Institute\, LightHouse is now offering vocational tracks in sound and lighting engineering and live event production\, unprecedented at the high school level. A culinary arts track will launch in January 2025 in conjunction with the reopening of the onsite café\, while carpentry and metalworking programs are currently in development. \nThe Open House will include guided tours\, demonstrations\, and presentations about LightHouse’s innovative educational programs\, and The Carolyn Dufraine Trio will be showcasing in De la Luz Divine. The café will be open featuring local chef\, Neftalí Duran. The evening culminates with a free concert at 7:00 PM featuring William Cepeda\, a cultural icon of Puerto Rico known for pioneering Afro-Rican Jazz in the larger De la Luz Soundstage. \nThanks to generous sponsors including Bueno y Sano\, People’s Bank\, Lumber Dog\, Bresnahan Insurance\, and Greenfield Northampton Cooperative Bank\, both the Open House and concert are free to attend. While admission is complimentary\, donations are welcome to support LightHouse’s ongoing renovation and development efforts. To date\, the organization has raised $1.6M of their $3M goal for facility improvements.
