With spring (we hope!) just around the corner, a new month of performances, exhibitions, and arts education programming begins at Mosesian Arts. From theater, music, and comedy to new exhibitions and arts education, from returning favorites to new partnerships, there’s plenty of variety—plus brave storytellers, historic women, dastardly descendants, and socially active artivists —in this season’s programming! Come see, learn, and experience it all at Mosesian Arts!

HEART TRUTH | MARCH 4

Boston's DEAFinitely, Inc. and national storytelling nonprofit This is My Brave join forces to present Heart Truth - Mental Health Stories from the Deaf Community. This is the first ever show featuring over a dozen Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing storytellers who will share personal stories of mental illness and recovery to break down stigma, uncover access barriers in the mental health system, and celebrate the resilience of the Deaf community. They'll share their stories using American Sign Language, art, and dance, with voice interpretation. Don't miss this groundbreaking event!

 Other performances coming later this month include Disney’s Descendants (March 17-19), I Give You My Home: The World Premiere of a Film by Guerilla Opera (March 24), and TRANScendent: A Ms. Adventure in Comedy (March 25).

GET TICKETS TO ALL SHOWS!

Registration has begun for a spring term of arts education programs with over two dozen offerings in performing and visual arts classes for children, teens, and adults.

Registration for Summer Stages & Studios is also open! Summer programming at Mosesian Arts fosters an engaging, welcoming, and creative community where students in grades K-12 can explore new art forms, focus on specific interests, learn from professional teaching artists, and make connections with other participants in a variety of weekly programs grouped by age and arts discipline.

Plan to join us on May 24 for our 2023 Annual Benefit and Mosesian Awards. Themed Moving Forward, this will be a celebration of Mosesian Arts’ strides toward becoming a regional destination for the performing and visual arts.

 Honorees of the evening’s Mosesian Awards will be internationally acclaimed Sayat Nova Dance Company, moving culture forward throughout the world, and Barbara Epstein, who as first President of the Board of Directors helped put the wheels in motion for an arts center at the Arsenal.

CALLS FOR ART!

In connection with our Annual Benefit, Moving Forward, we invite artists to submit work for our upcoming exhibition, Flow: Art Inspired by Movement and Sound. Cultures around the world often effortlessly combine music and dance with visual arts in the form of costumes, masks, or head adornments. Artists may also be inspired in a more direct way by movement and music. Examples range from Matisse’s jazz series to photographs and drawings of dancers to more abstract representations of sound and movement. Artworks of all media including video and sound pieces may be submitted.

Registration is also open for the Third Annual YardArt, a community-wide celebration of creativity and fun in front yards, porches and windows all over Watertown. All residents, families, organizations, clubs, classes, artists, and businesses are invited to create something to be viewed from the street or sidewalk!

 Our current exhibition, From the Heart, with Newton Art Association is on display through March 10. Also plan to join us on Thursday, March 30 for the opening reception for Printmaking and Social Engagement plus Art in a Silent City, showing the work of Mount Auburn Cemetery Artists in Residence.

 For all of the latest events, schedules, and tickets, visit us online at MosesianArts.org! With so much to see, learn and experience at Mosesian Arts, we hope to see you soon!
