Spotlight On Winter Classes

*New* Photographing the Winter Landscape Workshop 

Instructor: Suzanne Révy

This workshop will meet over two Saturdays - the first session students will get an introduction to landscape photography before heading out for a winter walk and picture making somewhere in Concord. The following Saturday will consist of a short lecture on the history of photography, and we will critique pictures made during the previous week’s walk. Photography from this workshop may be submitted to the annual Earth Month gallery exhibition at The Umbrella!

Join our friends at the Multicultural Arts Center on January 13-16 for their upcoming show, Hear Her Sing Freedom!
This one woman show highlights the legacy of Coretta Scott King in the Civil Rights Movement. Scott King presented concerts to fund the movement, and was responsible for the salaries of many of the men employed at the SCLC. 

In Hear Her Sing for Freedom, visitors will have the chance to experience what it might have been like to witness Coretta Scott King perform a Freedom Concert.
