Submit your event/s here. Note that we limit event listings mainly to free or inexpensive public events in Wellesley, such as talks, films, theatre productions, concerts, etc. This is not a place for businesses to promote themselves, their classes, etc. Please don’t submit events that run for weeks and weeks. We approve event listings before they go live, typically within 24 hours.
No business sales, trunk shows, etc. (those would be paid advertisements). Please go easy on the ALL CAPS, exclamation points!!!!, etc.
We also appreciate any contributions to support our independent journalism venture.

EXHIBIT: In Search of the Black Fantastic
DATE: Opens Sept. 3. Runs through Oct. 14

LOCATION: Jewett Art Gallery, Wellesley College
COST: Free
DESCRIPTION: “In Search of the Black Fantastic” is an exhibition of work by Massachusetts-based artist Karmimadeebora McMillan. “The Black Fantastic,” a term coined by curator and writer Ekow Eshun, is “less a genre or a movement than a way of seeing, shared by artists who grapple with the legacy of slavery and the inequities of racialized contemporary society by conjuring new narratives of Black possibility.” In McMillan’s art, boundaries between dichotomies assumed to be essential are erased: the lines between alive/inanimate, real/unreal, logical/magical, history/myth become blurry and unimportant.
