Northfield Senior Center Plans Evening of Singing, Art and Chainsaws

The Northfield Senior Center is planning an extravaganza this Friday with paintings, carvings, a concert and a chainsaw demonstration.

The "Art-full Splash" will showcase improvements such as better lighting and stage equipment that the center has made in the last year-and-a-half through a $4,000  SEMAC Arts and Cultural Heritage grant, the Northfield News is reporting.

“It’s really supporting three major programs at the center,” the center's assistant director, Patsy Dew, told the paper. “Art, music and theater.”

The Art-full Splash will start at 7 p.m. at the senior center and feature local artists and a performance by the Seasoned Singers:

Now in their third season, the Seasoned Singers are no stranger to this kind of performance and the eight weeks of rehearsal needed to prepare, according to Donna May, the director of the Seasoned Singers. Each time around, the group chooses a different theme; this concert’s theme is “Music from the Heart.”
Three local artists — William See, Robert Oates and Patricia Oates--are featured in the center’s June gallery exhibition. The three artists featured this month are all self-taught.
