By flowing through hills\, villages\, and cities\, the river supports the lives of plants\, birds\, fishes\, and humans. \nWe get mesmerized by its beauty. A fisherman depends on it for livelihood\, while the poet and artist get inspired by its beauty and create! \nThe river gives refuge to the sick\, old\, tired\, socially unacceptable and retired\, by its soothing sound of rippling\, flowing water. \nBut as we use and enjoy the river\, we remain somewhat numb to the ways we abuse it. So who will give refuge to the river? \nFree and open to the public.

(www.stonebalancer.com) As creator of the YOU ARE LOVED Mural Project he works with organizations of all types including schools\, prisons\, shelters\, and government organizations. These collaborations create love-focused murals (like the one downstairs at Common Street Spiritual Center!) that bring together the power of art and community to support a warmer\, more loving society. (www.youarelovedmurals.com) \nAlex will speak about his nation-wide work with the YOU ARE LOVED Project as well as show pictures of the process. Beyond the paintng process Alex will share how bringing this message of love to all kinds of locations has created conversations and even saved lives. On exhibit in the sanctuary are 10 of Alex’s newest works. He will discuss how creating YOU ARE LOVED murals opened the door to creating new work\, revolutionizing his creative process. \nARTIST STATEMENT: \nFor most of my 30 years of art making my inclination has been to make representational art – pictures of things to tell a story or express a feeling.\nThe 10 works currently on display in the sanctuary represent a departure from that style. Having spent the last several years working on YOU ARE\nLOVED murals whose content is only the lines\, colors\, and contrasts of words and letters\, I have found myself much more interested in how to make\nsoulful\, heartfelt work that uses only formal elements – line\, color\, and contrast – to create beauty. \nThe earliest of these works (on the right wall) were created improvisationally. I created patterns of color on the individual papers and\nthen arranged them to create the larger final piece. Later I realized I could arrange the papers first and then\, still using the geometric patterns on each\npaper\, make a single image that would unify the piece. I began simply with the green and red rings and quickly moved to more complex images like the Floating Man. \nIn these 10 works you can see the development of my thinking from the earlier purely geometrical pieces on the right to the pieces on the left which\neach contain an image created by or event through the geometrical patterns.\nEnjoy!\nAlex Cook\, May 2023 \nAlex Cook is a public artist who had created over 220 murals in 20 statesaround the US and 4 countries.

We want to play music with YOU! \nIf you have a basic musical ability (play an instrument\, know your chords)\, We welcome you to bring your instrument; guitar\, bass\, drums\, keyboard\, ukelele\, voice\, and more – for a night of playing songs together. We’ll finish out the night with a jam. \nPoint of the event is to have fun and make music together. There is little expectation beyond that. \nFormat of the event:  we’ll play relatively easy songs which are 3-5 chords. We’ll have a list to choose from for this event\, and we’ll cast them on a screen / or have on poster-boards\, so everyone can see the chords and lyrics. We’ll draw numbers from a hat @ 7pm and that will be the order of those wanting to lead a song. If you just want to play\, then just play! \nGenres include but not limited to Rock\, Pop\, Folk\, Blues. Typically\, we’ll be mostly in 4/4 time to keep things simple. I’ll start off the 1st song to get us warmed up\, then we’ll take turns leading a song (optional if you desire to). \nNote: we’ll play mostly “clean” in terms of sound\, but some basic pedals / effects are permitted such as Wah\, Compressor\, Reverb\, Delay\, etc. Ear plugs will be available. \nAlso Note:  respectfulness of everyone’s ability level is expected\, kindness is appreciated. This is for fun\, and there is no expectation that the songs will sound like the original nor do we really desire for it to. \nKeep your alcohol and drugs and pets at home. \nWe’ll take a break about halfway through to socialize and munch on snacks. \nIf you have any questions\, you can reach me by email: MrDaveStewart@gmail.com \nHope to see you there! \n\nNatick Music Makers \n\n  \n*Free if you’re a member of Common St. Spiritual Center.  See this link if interested: https://commonstreet.org/membership/ URL:https://commonstreet.org/event/natick-music-makers/ CATEGORIES:Community,Cultural,Food,Music and Arts END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230518T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230518T160000 DTSTAMP:20260505T230539 CREATED:20221221T200631Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230428T155231Z UID:10006510-1684418400-1684425600@commonstreet.org SUMMARY:Tea\, Pray\, Knit DESCRIPTION:Join Diana\, Fran and Donese every other Thursday in the Meeting Room from 2-4 pm.  Bring along any handcraft you’d like to work on as we take time to enjoy one another’s company\, engage in thoughtful conversations and develop new relationships.  We can share thoughts about matters that affect us all such as: \n\nchildren’s education\,\nsafe neighborhoods\, and\nfood insecurity.\n\nWe can exchange prayers and positive thoughts and seek ways to contribute to those in need. \nYou are welcome to drop in when you can.  Children are also welcome with a parent or caregiver. \nOur next Thursday gatherings are May 4th and 18th and June 1st\, 15th\, and 29th. \nPlease email Donese @ donese.sylvester@gmail.com to RSVP or ask questions.
