Thanks to Westwood Artists for contributing its news to Westwood Minute.
Westwood Artists are hosting their last two events of 2022. An intrepid group of artisans will be braving the fickle December weather on the lawn in front of the Senior Center from 11 AM until 3 PM on Saturday, December 10, followed by a pop-up shop at Décor and More on Saturday, December 17.
On December 10, newcomer Susan Brady will be bringing a selection of rubber-stamped note cards to her first event with this group. She will be joining photographer Karen Cagan, painter Maureen Obey, ceramicist Lisa WB Walker, potter Jane Wojick, and knitter/weaver Kathy Zola. All six of these artisans live and work in Westwood.
Reflecting back on the past year of events, Kathy Zola has seen an uptick in participants and attendance at these events. She says, “There is a growing appreciation of the existing arts community here in Westwood. We have such a range of talent and skills, and it is so good to see our friends and neighbors come out to support us.”
Westwood Artists is an informal organization of makers living in Westwood MA. Any artist or artisan residing in Westwood is encouraged to take part in the increasing number of events and projects hosted by this group. Join as an artist or patron to hear about shows, markets and development workshops in Westwood by emailing westwoodartists@gmail.com, by messaging them through their Facebook page @westwoodartists, or by checking their website www.westwoodartists.com.
Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny in the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
