Three new exhibitions are on view at 3S Artspace and we cannot wait to be there on November 8 with our ARTiculate play reading of Continuity by Pulitzer prize-winning Bess Wohl. Hear the play. See the art. Talk about it.

Together, a shared focus in the Main Gallery emerges in a dialogue on how we act, how we endure, and how our choices ripple through ourselves, others, and the planet. Visitors will move from intimate observation to bold visual narratives to luminous, contemplative installations, experiencing a rich spectrum of human stories.

🔹 74 Days // Vesna Jovanovic’s gouache and acrylic pen works are a contemplative series of daily works on paper made during the pandemic lockdown of 2020. 3sarts.org/74-days
🔹 New Aftermaths // Inspired by his 1980-90s comic book collection, Kenneth Millington presents graphic and highly saturated paintings and drawings explore archetypes of entropy and turbulence to map the tumult of our times. 3sarts.org/new-aftermaths
🔹 Light Shadow, and Memory: Humans, War, and Nature // Chenlin Cai's work explores how images emerge and transform through perception, material, and time, bringing Western and Eastern visual languages into dialogue to reshape how we see and understand the relationship between humans and their environment.

Thanks so much to The Sleepless Critic. Another good day to look back on Iphigenia in Aulis! 🩵🌬️

The war cannot end unless it begins. A prophecy, an atrocious act and a man blinded by victory. Stakes and superstitions run high in the Great Trojan War on an exceptional beach…at an unfathomable …

We had a really wonderful week back in August with the Dunbarton Children's Theater creating a performance based on Where the Wild Things Are.

And we're very excited to begin a new project today created a performance based on the story Stone Soup with another amazing group of students.

Thanks to The Concord Monitor for highlighting this work!

For years, the second floor of the Dunbarton Town Hall sat empty, a stretch of old wooden floors and tall ceilings waiting for a purpose. Now it’s a space that echoes with the voices of children rehearsing lines, running scenes, and bringing the space to life for the first time in years. Natalie P...
