The Last Waltz

March 22 and 23, 7:30PM

The Last Waltz was an iconic night in Rock and Roll history featuring some of the time's best talent: Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison and more came together with 'The Band' to create a successful celebration of the group's catalogue, memorializing their last concert. The night was captured as the first rock-doc by Martin Scorsese and has lived on for 45+ years as one of the best Rock and Roll films ever made. Join 'The Zajac Brothers Band' and their special guests for 2 nights as they bring you back to these wonderful songs, paying homage to The Band.

Rick and Lorraine Haynes: CROSS POLLINATION

March 23 through April 20

Opening reception March 23, 3:00 to 5:00PM

Free and open to the public!

As explorers of unknown aesthetic territories, artists Ric Haynes and Lorraine Gentile Haynes work independently, each creating their own art in adjoining areas within their shared home studio in Mashpee. They have each found that artistic energy and a non-intentional osmosis occur from regularly seeing the development of each other's work. A color combination seen in one of Ric's paintings may later show up in one of Lorraine's textile pieces, or a design pattern from one of Lorraine's quilts at some point may appear in one of Ric's paintings. The two artists have always shared artistic discourse but being in a shared studio creates an atmosphere of opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas, colors, shapes and forms.

Cape Cod CAN: Outside the Lines

March 23 through April 20

Opening reception March 23, 3:00 to 5:00PM

Free and open to the public!

To color ‘outside the lines' is a phrase that means to behave in a creative or unconventional way, to break the rules. The artists of the Cape Cod Collaborative Arts Network have done just that! Outside the Lines artists have been challenged in a variety of classes over the past year to explore new techniques, let go of conventional thinking and give themselves the freedom to experiment with their art and see where it may lead. The result is a collection of work from artists of all abilities from across Cape Cod and the South Shore that pushes the boundaries of expression and was created without limitations.
