Join us for a tour of our current exhibition Drug Addiction: Real People, Real Stories Massachusetts INTO LIGHT Project currently on display in the Beard & Weil Galleries.  This special tour is open to anyone.

In conjunction with Drug Addiction: Real People, Real Stories Massachusetts INTO LIGHT Project currently on display in the Beard & Weil Galleries, this special peer grief support group is open to anyone 18+ who has experienced the death of someone they care about due to substance use.

In connection with the exhibition Drug Addiction: Real People, Real Stories in the Beard + Weil Galleries, author/illustrator Jarrett Krosoczka will share his graphic novel, Hey, Kiddo, a profoundly important graphic memoir about growing up in a family grappling with addiction and finding the art that helps you survive.
Rowan will screen and discuss their work in documentary, narrative, and commercial. They will cover the ins and outs of making your first film, fundraising for your project, and how to get your start. Rowan will ask the students questions, and Leah will facilitate a discussion afterward. This is not to be missed if you are an aspiring filmmaker or visual artist. Ro has found ways to do both successfully. Bring your dinner and your friends!
