Outdoor screening of Ponyo at Wellesley College’s Davis Museum, July 27

by Leave a Comment

One of the great pleasures of summer in Wellesley is the Wellesley College Davis Museum‘s family-friendly Outdoor Summer Film series. Picture you and your family, outside on the Davis Plaza on a warm summer evening in a relaxed atmosphere where nobody raises and eyebrow if the little ones get antsy. Sounds like summer heaven to me.  Included in the festivities will be art activities, tours of the galleries, and extended museum hours. There’s free popcorn for the kids, and free beer for parents, so there’s just no way you can go wrong here.

  • Museum open until 7 p.m.
  • Art activities from 7-8 p.m.
  • Screenings start at 8 p.m.

Thursday, July 27, Ponyo — During a forbidden excursion to see the surface world, a goldfish princess encounters a human boy named Sosuke, who gives her the name Ponyo. Ponyo longs to become human, and as her friendship with Sosuke grows, she becomes more humanlike.

Artist Kira Seamon will be sharing a unique perspective on Wellesley’s trees in a new photography exhibit (“Stained Glass Sky”) coming to the Wellesley Free Library lobby gallery in August.  And for a sneak peek at Seamon’s work, you can check out her exhibit at the Arts on the Green event coming to Elm Bank Reservation on July 27.

Seamon, who is also a dancer and choreographer, says her work at the library will take the form of 24 framed photos, but she’s also using her images for a unique clothing line that she plans to model herself during both the Arts on the Green event and library gallery opening.
