Voice
Jaffrey Civic Center, Jaffrey, NH

VOICE by Jill Fischman
The Jaffrey Civic Center is pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition VOICE by Jill Fischman. The show will run in the Civic Center’s Auditorium Gallery from April 2 until April 25. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, April 5th from 5 – 7 pm, with light refreshments. Please join us at the opening reception to observe Fischman’s work, gain insight into her creativity and process, and enjoy the beginning of spring!
After five decades as a professional artist, this exhibition represents both culmination and emergence. Working primarily in abstract and abstract expressionistic styles, Jill has long channeled personal trauma into intuitive expressions of emotion on canvas.
Each piece serves as a visual diary entry—raw, unflinching, and authentic. The works trace a journey from darkness toward light, documenting the artist’s process of transformation through color, texture, and form.
The Jaffrey Civic Center is located at 40 Main Street in Jaffrey, NH, and is open 12:00 to 5:00pm, on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturdays. For more information, head to their website: www.jaffreyciviccenter.com.
Interested to know more about artist Jill Fischman or her art? Please visit her website.

Impressions of Ethiopia: Kaethe Hostetter in Concert
Friday April 18, 7pm
Montague Common Hall, 34 Main St, Montague Center, MA
Suggested donation $20
No one turned away for lack of funds
Get tickets
On the evening of Friday April 18, acclaimed NYC-based violinist and composer Kaethe Hostetter will present a concert at the Montague Common Hall in Montague Center. She brings her new project "Impressions of Ethiopia", a collection of musical vignettes for 5-string violin and electronics, sourcing from her 11 years living in Addis Ababa. Hostetter transports you to the bustling streets of the East African metropolis, evoking the crackling sounds of a saxophone blaring out of a barbershop radio, a shepherd's flute melody turned dub reggae, the fervent dancing on packed dirt floors of a rural honey-wine bar, and the funky big band psychedelic sounds of Ethiopia's "Golden Era".
The solo multimedia project uses electronics and loops, storytelling, and video projection to share a personal journey and be a door to a world that is now undergoing serious ethnic conflict.
www.kaethehostetter.com/
Kaethe Hostetter is an American violinist, composer, and bandleader, who's been deeply invested in exploring, preserving, and expanding Ethiopian traditional sounds for over 15 years. A founding member of critically-acclaimed Debo Band, Kaethe relocated to Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, immersing herself in the country's deep musical culture. In her 11 years there, she founded a music school, and started a new band, QWANQWA; which brought together some of the most accomplished players in Addis Ababa’s music scene. QWANQWA has recorded 3 albums and made several international tours. During the COVID lockdown, she relocated to her hometown of Santa Cruz, CA, to quarantine with her family. While there Kaethe released QWANAQA's third album, and recorded a solo album of Ethiopian-inspired violin compositions, as well as two other albums in collaboration with other artists. She now lives in New York City.
Local band O Ksenos will play an opening set. Members Jesse Bay (oud, guitar, percussion, vocals), Heather Kuhn (vocals), Clarissa Lyons (clarinet), and Rafe Wolman (violin, guitar) play traditional Greek folk music, dances, and rembetika.
The concert will be held on the evening of Friday April 18 from 7-9:30pm, at the Montague Common Hall, 34 Main St, Montague Center, MA. Suggested donation is $20, with nobody turned away for lack of funds. Tickets and more information at www.weathervane-arts.org. Contact Jesse Bay at (510) 387-0765 or weathervane.community.arts@gmail.com.

Handmade Books Volume III
Creative Connections, Ashburnham, MA
| | |
Instructor - Joan Sinatra Hathaway
Date: Saturday April 19, 2025, 1-5PM
Location: Creative Connections (2nd Floor Main Street Gallery), 56 Main St, Ashburnham, MA
Throughout history each culture has made books with available materials. Humans have used clay, bark, leather, and papyrus to preserve their laws, their stories, their music and their poetry. In contemporary culture, book art has become a popular way to create original hand-made books for individual expression. This new method of art making is inspired by the form and function of books. In this workshop participants will learn to make three different book structures using their own creative designs: a miniature book using small scraps of paper, a Japanese stab binding book, and a hand-sewn book using Coptic stitching with a collaged cover. If you’ve taken Mrs. Hathaway's book making class before, these book forms are different and will build on the skills learned in the previous class (previous class enrollment is not a prerequisite). All materials will be provided.

Make Art at Main Street Studios
Fitchburg, MA
| |
Do you get inspired by fellow artists? Would the company of other creatives motivate you to work on an idea or abandoned project?
Come to Main Street Studios on Tuesday evenings. We have plenty of work space for you to set up with your writing, painting, knitting, etc.
We will socialize for a half hour-ish and then have a quiet hour or two to do the work. If you are inclined to share at the end of the evening - or the end of the summer, you are welcome to do so. But that is not required.
Main Street Studios has coffee/tea/water and maybe a few snacks. There are also options for delivery if you want to order dinner.
The point of this evening is to have fun and employ a little gentle peer pressure to kick aside those creative blocks. If you have any questions, send us a message or leave a comment in the event. You can also email studios@fitchburgculturalalliance.org.
