The following announcement was provided by the Mosesian Center for the Arts:

The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of the time when Armenian American artist ArshileGorky lived in Watertown. Gorky endured personal tragedies from fleeing his village during the Armenian genocide and later losing his mother at a young age. After arriving in America in 1920 he was able to pursue his passion for art and create work that reflected his traumatic past. Gorky’s biomorphic abstractions hold an important place in 20th century art. “Oceans are Getting Warmer” by Bill Flynn.(Contributed Photo)

WEEKEND FUN: Sci-Fi Movie, Children’s Theater, Interactive Art Workshop, Pint-Sized Yoga & More

By |

If I were you, I would start this weekend at the movies. Mickey 17 is playing at the Majestic 7, and it’s worth a trip. It’s a unique sci-fi story with a captivating plot. If you have children in tow, however, the Watertown Children’s Theatre musical, Finding Nemo, would be a fun alternative for a weekend theater show. On Saturday afternoon, the muralist and painter, Bren Bataclan, is teaching a hands-on art workshop at the library. Art is a great escape from the world’s troubles.
