The ArtWalk Committee invites artists and creatives to participate in yet another community project to celebrate art in our town.  

This project provides 4 x 4 in. wooden poles to be painted in bright colors and grouped together for an installation at the Visitors Center and other prominent locations in town beginning March 15 - April 30, 2021.

Interested artists do not need to be professionals to participate - we encourage community and student artists. Artists should use bright colors and bold designs that can be seen from a distance and waterproof paint to withstand the elements.

Plain wooden poles will be available for pick up Monday, February 15th onwards, while supplies last. For more information and how to pick up a pole, and cost, please email lexartwalk@gmail.com or call the MCA office at 781-862-6040.

LexArt proudly hosts the 25th Annual Regional High School Show featuring artwork from the following high schools: Bedford, Burlington, Minuteman Tech, Waltham and Winchester. Student art will be on display in the newly renovated Molly Harding Nye Gallery space. The exhibit will also be available for viewing on our website.

Free and open to the public.

What are the commitments in your life that have shaped you? Remember the quote from our hymnal, Singing the Living Tradition: “It behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshiping we are becoming.” Worship service led by our Minister, Rev. Anne Mason.

Did you know that of the 30 million tons of plastic waste generated in the US in 2009, only 7% was recovered for recycling? And now China doesn’t take our used plastics! FPLex’s Climate Action Team (CAT) invites you to a short program on the harmfulness of plastics in our environment. We will watch a short video and learn what we can do as stewards of our planet, stewards of Lexington. Joyce Greif, a Lexington resident and activist, will offer her thoughts on the dangers of plastics. Come be a part of this growing movement.

Sunday, March 7, 2021 @ 11:45 AM – 12:30 PM (After Worship Service)
Limited spots… REGISTER for the event!

The Climate Action Team wishes to share important information with you about why we must look at the dangers of plastic in the environment. Come learn what action plan you could take that will make a difference to the air we breathe, the water we drink and to our basic reliance on the health of the planet.

Did you know?

•     Humans eat the equivalent of one credit card's worth of plastic every week.
•     We breathe in the plastics from our clothes driers. Clothing is made from an average of 60% plastic synthetic fabrics.
•     Plastics are found in ocean animals, including plankton.
•     17.6 billion tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean each year [one garbage truck's worth every minute.]

The good news is the number of legislative issues that are addressing this on the state and federal level. New ways are being discovered to reuse plastics. There are many groups in Mass. coming together to work on solutions. Come on Sunday and be part of these efforts.

Join Meg Newhouse for an experiential presentation, “A Legacy Perspective for Tumultuous Times.” She will ground participants in the basics of her book Legacies of the Heart and suggest how a legacy perspective can help us navigate these challenging times – by presenting opportunities for personal reflection, spiritual growth, and creating satisfying and valuable legacies. Participants will be invited to share and brainstorm ideas in breakout groups, as well as given an opportunity to continue the work via future ZOOM gatherings.

Rooted in Hindu mythology, Holi celebrates the triumph of good over evil, the arrival of spring, the passing of winter, the beginning of a good harvest season, and the blossoming of love. The first evening is known as Holika Dahan (burning of demon Holika). The second day is to play, laugh, forgive, let bygones be bygones and rejoice in relationships.
