Small works
A small works exhibition at Kimball Jenkins will be held Nov. 6 to Jan. 14. SALON 2021 is an open exhibition exploring the diversity of studio practices, mediums, ways of thinking and working from a broad range of regional artists, and highlighting underrepresented artists. All mediums are welcome —sculpture, mixed media, painting, drawings, ceramics as long as it’s under 10 x 10 inches for 2-D work, or under 6 x 6 x 6 inches for 3-D work. The exhibition will be hung floor-to-ceiling, salon-style. Experimental and off-beat work is encouraged.
Capital region food program
The Capital Region Food Program (CRFP) is preparing for its 48th annual Holiday Food Basket Project (HFBP). As you may recall, the 2020 HFBP was adapted in response to COVID-19 with the goal of compliance of COVID protocols (social distancing, utilizing PPEs, overall commitment to peoples’ well-being), while still executing the project and servicing those in need. Given that decisions need to be made months in advance of the HFBP, along with the anticipation of resurgence and breakthrough cases, the CRFP board of trustees approved the implementation of the 2020 HFBP model for our 2021 Holiday Food Basket Project. The CRFP continues its commitment to helping reduce/alleviate hunger in the Greater Concord Area. The board and committees have been doing additional research and assessing current projects to identify enhancements, improvements or major overhauls to continue its ability to be impactful in our communities. With COVID, the opportunity to reassess how we operate, and why, has presented new possibilities. The organization will continue to explore these options in hope of sharing with more clarity in 2022.
