In this is creative collaboration; acrylic painter Gleckler and monoprint artist Woolner share their views of Portugal reflecting by their unique artistic perspectives.

As a tribute to the exhibit and the show, jazz singer Lisa Maxwell will perform the title song, BOTH SIDES NOW! — Inspired by the Joni Mitchell classic, "It's life's illusions we recall…" Ms. Maxwell will also perform a number of tunes from her show at The Metropolitan Room and her recent albums.

"Bethel teachers are not only educating students, but when society lets kids down, it’sRead More teachers who step in to fill the gap." Explain to me how an average salary of $60,000 per year for working 183 days during that year and an EXTREMELY generous retirement package (compared to the 240 a year the rest of us have to work) considered "society letting them down"?
