Building Community Roots
2025-07-01 - 2025-07-19 | The Studios at Lynn Museum & Arts Center (LynnArts) & The Neal Rantoul Vault Theatre, 25 Exchange Street, Lynn, MA, 01901, United States
At the heart of the Galleries At LynnArts’ latest community art project stands a powerful symbol: the Banyan Tree. But what makes this tree so special? Across cultures and generations, the Banyan Tree has carried deep meaning—and it’s the perfect inspiration for a collaborative creation rooted in connection, care, and growth.
In many parts of the world—especially India and Southeast Asia—the Banyan Tree is more than just a tree.

In Hinduism, it represents immortality, spiritual wisdom, and divine shelter, often linked to gods like Vishnu and Shiva.

In Buddhism, it’s connected to the Bodhi Tree, under which the Buddha found enlightenment. It stands for resilience and inner peace.

In local villages, it’s a natural meeting place—serving as a center for community and storytelling.

The Banyan Tree is unique in how it grows: from a single seed, it sends down aerial roots that become trunks, creating a network of support.
This makes it a powerful metaphor for:

Interconnection – each root and branch supports the whole

Community strength – many parts forming a unified structure

Legacy – standing tall through generations, holding memory and history

Why the Banyan Tree for Our Project?
Our paper Banyan Tree is built just like its real-life counterpart—from many individual contributions. Each piece you add is a root, a leaf, a branch in our growing collective story.
It symbolizes:

Healing and hope

Cultural diversity

Shared creativity

Together, we’re building more than a tree. We’re growing a living work of art that reflects who we are—stronger together.
When can I stop by?

Reading Frederick Douglass Together 2025

This year’s Frederick Douglass Reading, hosted by the North Shore Juneteenth Association and sponsored by Mass Humanities, Thursday July 3rd at Frederick Douglass Park will begin at 11am with the unveiling of a new Frederick Douglass wayfinding sign.
The sign’s design and text were the result of a multiyear collaboration between Barbara Buls of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Tom Dalton, author of Frederick Douglass, the Lynn Years, Doneeca Thurston-Chaves, Executive Director of the Lynn Museum, and Wendy Joseph, Curator of the Grand Army of the Republic Hall & Museum.
Sincere thanks to State Senator Brendan Creighton, whose initiative helped launch the partnership between the DCR and local Lynn historians. We anticipate participation from representatives of the City of Lynn Mayor’s office and members of our State Delegation—so there will be some ceremonial remarks as well.

What Is The Community Service Agency?
The Community Service Agency (CSA) is a community -based organization whose function is to facilitate access and coordination of care for youth with serious emotional disturbance who require or are already utilizing multiple services or child serving systems (e.g. child welfare, special education, juvenile justice, mental health).
The CSA uses the Wraparound process as a way to improve the lives of children with complex needs and their families. It is not a program or a service and is open to members with a Mass Health Behavioral Health insurance component. The key characteristics of the Wraparound process are that a plan is developed by a family -centered team, is individualized based on the strengths and culture of the child and their family, and is needs -based rather than service –driven.

What Is The Systems Of Care Committee?
Community Service Agency (CSA) and the Systems of Care Meeting (SOC) covers cities and towns in the Greater Lynn area: Lynn, Lynnfield, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott.
The Systems of Care Committee is intended to support the Community Service Agency’s efforts in their local geographic area to establish and sustain collaborative partnerships among families, parent/family organizations, traditional and non – traditional service providers, community organizations, state agencies, faith – based groups, local schools, Mass Health and its contracted Managed Care Entities (MCEs), and other community stakeholders. The local Systems of Care Committee ensures that the Care Coordination of the Community Service Agency is in sync with other service delivery systems, with state agency services, and with informal helpers and community resources.
The Systems of Care Committee meets monthly to coordinate and integrate family voice into current community resources, to identify additional supports, and work together to offer a variety of choices to families without always having to recruit agency providers. At this time, we have over 500 members in our SOC email group that is distributed via constant contact twice a month. Please email Kyra at kdrescher@jri.org if you would like to be added.

Who Can Become A Member?
Membership in the local Systems of Care Committee is open to the public and should include, but is not limited to:

All are welcome to join UUCGL for some Drumagic!
It is a way to express yourself. You will leave the afternoon feeling inspired and relaxed. Our drum circle is open to hand drummers over the age of 16. Beginners (with drums) are always welcome. We jam to West African and Haitian-inspired rhythms on djembes, ashikos, dunduns, congas, dumbeks, and makeshift hand drums. Please no snare drums, kit drums, or bucket and stick drums.
If you do not own a drum or are unable to borrow one from a friend, flat-bottomed, rounded-edge water cooler jugs and flat-bottomed, rounded edge (not sharp edge) Rubbermaid-type wastebaskets work fine as makeshift drums.
Never drummed before? No Problem. We will show you the way. Come out and plan to have an afternoon of spiritual awakening, fun, and meeting wonderful people. Oh, and if you like to dance, drum rhythms are great to move to as well.
Cost: Volunteer donation of $5 to $10 suggested. We usually meet on the second Sunday of each month.
Please note: for security reasons the doors will be locked promptly at 1:35pm, so make sure to be on time!

Tuesday Artists' Group Pop Up at GALA
2025-07-16 12:00 - 17:00, 2025-07-17 12:00 - 17:00, 2025-07-18 12:00 - 17:00, 2025-07-19 12:00 - 17:00, 2025-07-20 12:00 - 17:00 | The Studios at Lynn Museum & Arts Center (LynnArts) & The Neal Rantoul Vault Theatre, 25 Exchange Street, Lynn, MA, 01901, United States
The Galleries at LynnArts are currently hosting an engaging and exuberant exhibition by the Tuesday Artists Group, a newly-formed collective whose first show is a bold testament to what can blossom when artists are given space, support, and shared purpose. On view through July 20th, the pop-up show features a compelling range of experimental and collaborative works created over the past six months in weekly sessions and museum visits.
What’s immediately striking is the breadth and variety of artistic approaches represented. From meticulous realism to expressive abstraction, this show resists stylistic uniformity—and in doing so, underscores the rich, layered possibilities of group-based artmaking. One of the unifying threads, however, is the use of vibrant and enchanting color. Across mediums and techniques, color becomes a language of joy, reflection, and play.
A standout moment within the show is a wall devoted to a shared theme: boats. Each artist has interpreted this motif in their own voice, resulting in a fascinating dialogue of perspectives. Some render boats with precision and quietude, anchored in realism; others dissolve the forms into abstraction, allowing gesture and palette to evoke motion, memory, or metaphor. The juxtaposition is both delightful and revealing, showcasing the unique vision each artist brings to a common starting point.
The group’s collaborative spirit culminates in a silent auction to be held during the artist reception on Friday, July 18th, from 4:30 to 7 PM. Works created throughout the group’s journey will be available at accessible price points—an excellent opportunity for collectors and supporters to take home original art while investing directly in the group’s future. Proceeds will help fund much-needed art supplies, ensuring this dynamic and inclusive group can continue its meaningful work.
In a time when community-centered, grassroots art spaces are more vital than ever, the Tuesday Artists Group offers a fresh, inspiring model. Their debut show is not just an exhibition—it’s a celebration of process, experimentation, and collective creativity. Don’t miss it.
