From Save The Harbor/Save The Bay: On Wednesday, March 4, 2026, Save the Harbor/Save the Bay will be hosting an opening reception of “Bay State Without Beaches” – a multimedia exhibit of personal stories and artworks on how coastal climate change is affecting people and communities across Massachusetts at the Lynn Museum and Arts Center.

The exhibit is on view until May 23.    

 Through a generous grant through Mass Humanities’ Expand Massachusetts Stories Program, Save the Harbor gathered personal stories to highlight how lived experiences are just as important as scientific data when it comes to understanding climate change. The exhibit aimed to promote collective action for protecting the state’s natural resources. 

Metropolitan Beaches Commissioner Senator Brendan Crighton (D-Lynn) will be opening the reception with his remarks on the state’s climate resiliency goals. Lynn City Councilors and Board Members from the Lynn Water & Sewer Commission will also be in attendance. 

 A complete list of stories and artworks can be found on Save the Harbor’s website here. Learn more about Save the Harbor’s coastal climate resiliency work here.
