SUMMARY:2nd Shift Concert: Winterpills
DESCRIPTION:Formed in the fog of the timeline around the fall of the Twin Towers\, the death of Elliott Smith\, the peak influence of Pitchfork and the dawn of the iPod\, the members of Winterpills met and began making music in the old-fashioned winter of 2003 in the shambolic Northampton\, Massachusetts\, music scene. They gleefully stumbled upon their sound: Flora Reed and Philip Price’s harmonies and “heartrending” songwriting (so says No Depression)\, Dennis Crommett’s tender shoegaze guitar\, Dave Hower’s unclassifiable drumming\, and later on Max Germer’s moonlit bass feel. “Winterpills gradually builds elegant arrangements… While the gathered instruments offer some solace\, the songs stay haunted\,“ wrote Jon Pareles in the New York Times. \nWinterpills opening our 2026 spring season will be a musical blessing of the best kind.

SUMMARY:Mill Talk: How to Fuel an Industrial Revolution—Coal and the Energy Economy of Boston\, 1820-1970
DESCRIPTION:Coal was the main fuel for industry\, utilities and domestic life in metropolitan Boston between roughly 1820 and 1970\, including the core years of the Industrial Revolutions. During this period\, coal accounted for the majority of Boston’s energy supply and provided energy to Boston’s homes\, factories\, foundries\, power plants\, shipyards and other operations. Coal also fed the city’s multiple gasworks\, which provided street lighting and domestic and industrial fuel\, and supplied power to both the water and sewage pumping stations. This heavy reliance on coal also created significant quality of life issues for Boston residents and resulted in one of the nation’s first smoke abatement laws. \nThomas Speight has twenty years’ experience in the environmental field as a consultant and regulator. He is a Massachusetts Licensed Site Professional and a Certified Hazardous Materials Manager and a member of the Society for Industrial Archaeology. He is a coauthor of “Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation: A Case Study” with Allen W. Hatheway. \nFree to the public but registration required.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Judy Chicago [Virtual Program]
DESCRIPTION:The Rose Art Museum is honored to host Judy Chicago for a special conversation with Catherine Morris\, Senior Curator for the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. Together\, they will explore Chicago’s groundbreaking “Birth Project” (1980–1985)\, a series that reimagines childbirth as a powerful\, sacred\, and creative act. Produced in collaboration with more than 150 needleworkers across the United States\, the project brought women’s collective labor and historically marginalized craft practices into the realm of monumental art. The discussion will focus in particular on “Birth Trinity” (1982–1984)\, a work from the series currently on view in “Fabricated Imaginaries: Crafting Art” at the Rose Art Museum. This conversation will also situate the “Birth Project” within the broader arc of Chicago’s career. \nThis program is free and open to all. Register for the event via Zoom Webinar.
