Join teachers from Wickham Works for four weeks of arts workshops tailored for mature adults, family members, and caregivers, welcoming individuals of all skill levels. These engaging sessions aim to ignite enthusiasm and active participation through music, art, and craft activities. Led by talented teaching artists, each session features a diverse range of hands-on activities. Choreographer and dance instructor Linda Mensch, Director of Movco Dance, along with musician and conductor David Dworkin, creator of Conductorcise, kick off the session with a dynamic 15-minute music and movement segment. Following a brief intermission, participants reconvene for an hour-long art or craft project guided by Jenny Torino, an artist and Registered Dietitian experienced in adult and developmental challenge programs, and Beth Laule, a seasoned artist, educator, and scenic craftsperson. All activities are adaptable for seated participation and cater to varying skill levels.

When renowned British botanist John Lindley wrote Ladies’ Botany in 1834, he did so to block women from, not welcome them into, the academic world of horticulture. Learn how women figured it out anyway and managed to contribute to science, influence public taste and advance their own craft. The Victorian artists featured range from rebels to spinsters, suffragettes to missionary wives and are highlighted with strikingly beautiful imagery and humor. Presented by Lesley Parness, Garde Historian and retired Superintendent of Horticultural Education at New Jersey’s Morris County Park Commission. Visit Lesley's website here!

In Honor of Women’s History Month: AWPL Classic Monday - The Little Foxes (1941) Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes. Little foxes have lived in all times, in all places. This family happened to live in the Deep South in the year 1900. William Wyler’s grim melodrama based on Lillian Hellman’s 1939 play; a chronicle of greed and hate in a ruthless family in the American South, it stars Bette Davis as Regina Giddens, clearly one of cinemas most cold, calculating and conniving woman. Not Rated: 1 hour 56 minutes.
