The Weston Historical Society produced a 40-page color catalogue, pictured above, in conjunction with the exhibition Artists Look at Weston: Works from the Collection of the Weston Historical Society. The catalogue was sent free to Society members. Join today or click here to order a copy.
The exhibition occupied the gallery and community room at the Weston Public Library during the month of March.

The Weston Historical Society is pleased to announce the launch of our new children's website, produced as a final Practicum by students at the Boston University Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) in Waltham. The society would like to thank the students who contributed their time, artistic talent, and digital skills to the creation of this imaginative site, particularly Joanna Matuck, who drew the map and illustrations, Sam Hardenburgh, who played a primary role in the site's creation, and Ana Mekerian. Weston Historical Society board members Pam Bator and Pam Fox provided content and direction. Pam Bator brought to the project her experience as a teacher and Social Studies Curriculum Coordinator for Weston elementary schools.
The historical society's exhibition Artists Look at Weston: Works from the Collection of the Weston Historical Society was a great success. Below are photos of the exhbiit, opening reception, and Evening with the Artists program. Many thanks to the exhibition committee (Pam Fox, Rebekah Gardiner, Lisa Greenberg, and Mary Gregory) for their work researching and producing the catalogue and hanging the show.
