SUMMARY:Newton Cemetery & Arboretum Presents Artist Talk with Kasey Kaufman
DESCRIPTION:Join Newton Cemetery & Arboretum Artist-in-Residence Kasey Kaufman for an artist talk on her ongoing Memory Quilt Project\, an evolving series of mixed-media works composed of intimate “memory tiles” built from fragments—images of nature\, place\, objects\, handwriting\, and absence—layered together the way memory itself is formed: imperfectly\, emotionally\, and over time. \nInspired by the cemetery’s history and landscape—and by stories shared by families remembering loved ones buried there—the work reflects themes of grief\, connection\, love\, and remembrance\, and considers what remains after loss. Kasey will share images from the project\, discuss her process and research\, and reflect on how personal and collective memory shape the pieces. \nBefore becoming a full-time artist\, Kaufman spent more than two decades as an award-winning television journalist at WBZ-TV. She now explores storytelling through paint\, texture\, and collage\, exhibits throughout the East Coast\, and is a member of the Copley Society of Art. \nParking is available in the parking lot next to the chapel.\nRegister in advance ~ Space is limited.\nDonations gratefully accepted! Suggested donation: $15 \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Spark Newton Presents Summer Family Concert – Studio Two Early Beatles Tribute Band
