2025-06-21 12:00 - 17:00 | The Art Complex Museum, 189 Alden Street, Duxbury, 02332, United States
Midsommar Arts Festival 2025
Saturday, June 21, 2025

Free Admission
We’re taking a page from the museum’s history and are celebrating the Summer Solstice this year, with a Swedish twist.
Ture Bengtz, family friend of museum co-founders Carl and Edith Weyerhaeuser, and the museum’s first Director, was of Swedish heritage. The Weyerhaeusers visited Sweden with Bengtz in 1961, and while there, participated in a Midsommar event, a tradition of celebrating the longest day of the year. When the Art Complex opened in 1971, Bengtz hosted a similar celebration here in Duxbury, featuring a maypole painted blue and yellow, which are the colors of the flag of Sweden.
We are featuring that same maypole in our festival! This family-friendly event is suitable for all ages and all are welcome.
Entertainment
Maypole Dancing with Patty Loring
12:30, 1:30, 2:30, 3:30 and 4:30
Learn traditional dances that weave the colorful ribbons around the pole.
BIG NAZO
BIG NAZO, a troupe of puppet-creatures and musicians, will entertain visitors around the museum campus throughout the day.
Food
Cap’n Mike’s Tiki Truck features summer family favorites, such as smash burgers, hot dogs, lobster rolls, and shaved ice.
Gather Cafe Gourmet Ice Cream from Providence will bring an ice cream cart featuring a variety of flavors.
Vendors

Chalk Artist
While Artist Lauren DeWitt creates a chalk mural, visitors are invited to create their own chalk art outside the museum’s studio.

A Different Vision 2.0
Registration Begins
May 21, 2025
A Different Vision returns to Plymouth Center for the Arts in a newly imagined way. Artists and audiences alike are encouraged to see, hear, touch, smell, interact with and even manipulate the art.
While a Different Vision began as a show specifically for the visually impaired, the show for 2025 endeavors to expand how all viewers experience art through exploration beyond traditional viewing. The experience will challenge the notion that sight is essential for creating and enjoying exceptional art, while also emphasizing touch as a fundamental part of our daily lives and overall sensual experience.

Laura Harvey "Heat Wave"
2025-07-01 00:00 - 2025-08-31 23:59 | Duxbury Free Library, 77 Alden Street, Duxbury, MA, 02231, United States
The Helen Bumpus Gallery presents
Laura Harvey’s “Heat Wave”

Artist Statement
As a mixed media artist, I create intricately layered collages on a variety of substrates: from canvas and traditional birch panels to hollow-core doors. To intuitively create each piece, I draw from an ever-evolving collection of media and vintage ephemera, building layers using paint, papers (found, purchased and hand painted), acrylic mediums, graphite, photo transfers and more. I derive a storyteller’s satisfaction watching each piece evolve during the creative process – from the initial blur of an idea to a completed visual.

Imperfect by Christine Marohn at South Shore Conservatory
2025-07-01 08:00 - 2025-09-28 17:00 | South Shore Conservatory, 1 Conservatory Dr, Hingham, MA, United States
SSAC presents “imperfect”, a solo show of Christine Marohn’s glorious work. On view at the South Shore Conservatory, July 1st through September 28th.

Artist Statement
My painting is a reflection of my efforts to make something beautiful from a chaotic, confusing and often insecure 30 years as a military wife and stay at home mother.
I use words layered with translucent color to symbolize the calls I have always heard to return to art; the imposed self-criticism for letting painting go for so long; the insecurity I feel returning to it.I want the viewer to see a beautiful painting but continue to look deeper – to really see how my work is composed through courses of words, color and personal autobiography.
My life has had many layers – many good, colorful layers and experiences that has made me into who I am today, an artist returning to herself.
About the artist
Christine is an artist working in her chosen home of Duxbury, Massachusetts. She is a life-long artist with a degree in graphic design and illustration who enjoys using her classical training to create paintings that push color and illuminate the subconscious. Christine considers herself one of the lucky ones – among her greatest joys is the love for her husband, EJ, her grown and accomplished daughters Meaghan and Lauren as well as her delightful Havanese, Pippa.
