In celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary in November 2022, Vicki & Chuck Heidorn chose GALA as the recipient for charitable contributions. Through the Evite portal, guests contributed $200 to GALA!

Thanks for thinking of GALA and congratulations on making it to this milestone anniversary! Chuck, the artist, is one of the original founders of GALA, a former president of GALA, and a current board member. Vicki, the wordsmith who loves being grandma to 7 grandchildren ages 2 to 12, supports the arts and artists of all description. Choral singing with Salisbury Singers of Worcester is their musical outlet, and they hope some of you will attend one of the concerts this year. Chuck and Vicki are proprietors and picture framers at Surroundings Gallery & Custom Framing in Gardner.

Through a partnership with the world’s largest museum complex, the Friends of the Great Falls Discovery Center proudly host Crossroads: Changes in Rural America, a traveling exhibit produced by the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street program in partnership with Mass Humanities. In 1900, about 40% of Americans lived in rural areas. By 2010, less than 18% of the U.S. population lived in rural areas. In just over a century, economic and social changes led to massive growth of America’s urban areas. Yet, less than 10% of the U.S. landmass is considered urban. Many Americans assume that rural communities are endangered and hanging on by a thread, but that perception is far from true in many areas.

The exhibit offers small towns a chance to look at their own paths to highlight the changes that affected their fortunes over the past century. It includes local exhibits on Franklin County and related programming throughout the county. For detailed descriptions of Crossroads programming see: greatfallsdiscoverycenter.org/crossroads.

The exhibition is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress. Crossroads: Change in Rural America has been made possible in Turners Falls at the Great Falls Discovery Center by Mass Humanities, Big Y, Greenfield Savings Bank and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Local sponsors include the Friends of the Great Falls Discovery Center, DCR, Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association, RiverCulture, Montague Public Libraries, and New England Public Media.

An easy-paced, 1 to 2-mile guided walk, along the Canalside Rail Trail or downtown Turners Falls, geared for seniors, but open to all ages. Join others seeking fresh air and exercise. A DCR Park Interpreter highlights local history, weaving in topics from the Crossroads: Change in Rural America exhibit. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather and sturdy boots. Meet at the main entrance.

Be the first to see the Smithsonian Exhibit, Crossroads: Change in Rural America in the Great Hall. Get the scoop on how rural America has changed since 1900. The Board of the Friends Group, expert hosts of the monthly Great Falls Coffeehouse, will provide coffee and refreshments for this big day.

New England Public Media’s Valley Voices team presents storytellers featuring local points of view on contemporary Franklin County life, the most rural mainland in Massachusetts.

The Shea Theater Arts Center is located at 71 Avenue A, Turners Falls.

Visit the Museum of Our Industrial Heritage, Newell Snow Factory, at 2 Mead Street in Greenfield to find out what industries were created throughout Franklin County, before, during and after industrialization of the Turners Falls canal. Learn how much industrial activity there once was along the streams and rivers in some of our now-quiet towns and villages and how that activity related to the larger industries in our region. Presenters: Jim Terapane, President, Museum of Our Industrial Heritage, joined by a Great Falls Discovery Center park interpreter.

Why is there a canal in Turners Falls? Think flatboats, cutlery, and turbines! During our February School Vacation Week open hours, visit with Department of Conservation and Recreation park interpreters to explore the three reasons for the canal, including a few glimpses of life here before the canal was built. Learn how the canal has changed over 200 + years at this interactive display, at the Center’s welcome desk.

Visit the Museum of Our Industrial Heritage, Newell Snow Factory, at 2 Mead Street in Greenfield to join silversmith Steve Smithers as he explores the story of the first tradesmen/artisans who came to Greenfield and the surrounding towns in the late 18th century, which eventually led to the emergence of the great metal industries of our region. Steve will also discuss and demonstrate the tools and techniques of these early makers. Then, get your hands on some locally made tools as long-time museum volunteer Marc Fournier leads a hands-on tool clinic and explores the history of the area’s tool making companies.

Soup, quiz night, and a community conversation all in one! Enjoy a soup dinner and join your neighbors in a dialog about food, farms, and food insecurity. Free, at the Montague Common Hall at 34 Main Street in Montague Center. Registration required. See greatfallsdiscoverycenter.org/food-for-thought for registration details as they become available.

Visit downtown Turners Falls along Avenue A and 3rd Streets to see the village’s ever changing downtown through reproduced images from the Montague Historical Society Archive on display in storefront windows of restaurants and retail stores.

View images at participating restaurants and retail stores in downtown Turners Falls including: LOOT, Breakdown Records, The Shea Theater, The Rendezvous, Responsive Classrooms, Buckingham Rabbits Vintage, The Five Eyed Fox, Loot, Swanson’s Fabrics, Turners Falls Pizza, Great Falls Harvest, Upper Bend, and Rist Insurance.

In the Great Falls Discovery Center’s Hallway Gallery, near the habitat dioramas, the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association (PVMA) presents reproductions of historic maps, illustrations, photographs, and paintings exploring perspectives of the image makers. How are our rural places represented in the media? Maps, illustrations, photographs, and paintings were the media of the past. Like today, the makers of these images and documents had viewpoints—both visual and attitudinal—that carried influence. Whose perspectives are we seeing? Whose viewpoints are missing?

Until February 25th

After painting individually for several years, a group of women watercolor artists joined together to form Water Works in 2017. They have displayed their paintings in Keene, Swanzey and Jaffrey. Their most recent show was in October at Whitcomb Hall in West Swanzey. Each artist has her own style and they were delighted to be invited to Jaffrey Civic Center to display some of their smaller works. The artists in the show include:Barbara A. Berntsen, Jessica Bigaj, Rebecca Bresnahan Haskins, Sherry Huntley, Carol Swenson Jue, Chris Justice, Lynne Keating, Amy Owens, Judy Perry, & Sharon H. Stone.

The exhibit will be on display until February 25, during the center’s open hours Wednesday-Friday 12pm-5pm and Saturdays 10am-2pm. In case of inclement weather, check the website and social media for event status.

The Jaffrey Civic Center will host, “Inspired by Jaffrey: A Town of History, Natural Beauty, and Culture.” The exhibit is scheduled in collaboration with the Jaffrey 250th Committee in honor of the town’s 250th celebration. All works included in the show will be inspired by or include Jaffrey in some way. The exhibit was open to all interested artists and works in both 2 and 3 dimensions were accepted. Rebecca Fredrickson, Executive Director of the Jaffrey Civic Center is organizing the exhibit.

“We have received some incredible artwork for this exhibit! Over 20 talented local artists contributed to the show. I am thrilled to be able to be a part of this yearlong celebration of the town and its history! What better way to honor the beauty of this community than through the arts? I am looking forward to see the works of art that are inspired by this amazing town.”

Steve Pelkey of the Jaffrey 250th Organizing Committee shares his thoughts on the show:

“The Jaffrey 250th celebration would not be complete without the artistic vision that is reflective in our historic Jaffrey Civic Center. We are thrilled the Civic Center is hosting an art exhibit to feature our towns 250th anniversary and look forward to viewing all the amazing artwork.”

The exhibit will be on display at the Jaffrey Civic Center through February 25.
