SUMMARY:'ReFrame' — Sculpture at the Old Schwamb Mill
DESCRIPTION:“ReFrame” brings together the work of Adria Arch\, Olivia Baldwin\, Tory Fair\, Anna Kristina Göransson\, and Kate Holcomb Hale\, five artists with deep ties to Arlington whose practices share a restless relationship with sculptural convention. Shown in the Mill’s historic upper rooms\, close to the spaces where frames were crafted by hand\, the work spills across walls and floors\, refusing the categories that would hold it still. \nEach artist will display large-scale pieces alongside smaller works for sale\, with proceeds supporting The Old Schwamb Mill.\nThe exhibition runs September 12 to November 14\, with an opening reception on Saturday\, September 26\, 2–3:30 p.m.\, a panel discussion on Saturday\, October 24\, 2–3 p.m.\, and a closing reception on Saturday\, November 14. \nThe Old Schwamb Mill is normally open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for guided tours of the Mill and art gallery viewing.

SUMMARY:Café Meet and Mingle: Bi+ community edition
DESCRIPTION:Hoping to connect with other bi+ people over coffee and conversation? Join Friends Beyond Boston–Waltham Social (20s–40s) for a relaxed and friendly coffee social in Waltham. Whether you’re looking to meet new people\, build meaningful friendships\, or simply spend some time with others who understand the bi+ experience\, this is a welcoming space to connect. \nThis edition of our popular series is for anyone who identifies under the bi+ umbrella\, including bisexual\, pansexual\, fluid\, queer-identified\, unlabeled\, questioning\, and anyone who experiences attraction to more than one gender (M-spec identities). Whether you’re out and proud\, quietly exploring\, or still figuring things out\, you’re welcome here. Show up as you are. This event is about warmth\, belonging\, and meeting others who truly understand the bi+ experience. \nPlease support the café by making a purchase\, as we are using their space. \nBecause bi-erasure and biphobia are common issues in broader queer spaces\, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy for bi-erasing or biphobic comments\, to help keep this a safe and supportive environment for everyone. This is in line with our group’s general respect and inclusion guidelines. \nPlease note: This is an event for members of this community group who RSVP in advance. For safety and group flow\, walk-ins and guests not on the RSVP list cannot join. We love meeting new people\, just be sure to RSVP ahead of time so we know you’re coming.

SUMMARY:Close Looking: Jenna Gribbon and the Erotics of Play
DESCRIPTION:Spend an hour in the galleries with Brandeis Professor Brian Horton for a close look at intimacy\, play\, and desire in Jenna Gribbon: Entwined. \nFocusing on works including Night swimming wrestlers (2018) and 3AM Haircut (2018)\, Horton will consider the thin line between homosocial play and eroticism in Gribbon’s paintings\, and the ways friendship\, attraction\, performance\, and spectatorship overlap within a single image. Through an informal\, discussion-based session in the exhibition space\, participants will explore how Gribbon invites viewers into scenes that feel at once private and shared\, and how those shifting boundaries shape the experience of looking.
