Featuring artwork by members of the Montgomery Art Association\, the exhibition invites viewers to linger with moments illuminated and to see the familiar anew. Each piece in the show captures a unique encounter with light – where it touches\, transforms\, surprises\, or simply rests.

DESCRIPTION:Parenting is full of decisions — and somehow\, no two parents ever seem to make the same ones. This Day at the J program invites our community to come together\, disagree productively\, and maybe even find some common ground. \nWhile kids ages 7 and under enjoy an afternoon of fun and meaningful activities\, parents can choose their own adventure. Catch Theater J’s production of Eureka Day\, a sharp and wildly timely comedy about a progressive school board forced to confront a mumps outbreak and the question of what happens when facts become subjective and every solution divisive. Or skip the theater and join a candid group discussion about the pressure to follow the parenting herd when it comes to trends\, choices\, and unsolicited advice. Not feeling the conversation? Pull up a chair in the library\, pour yourself a glass of wine or seltzer\, grab a nosh\, and just enjoy the company of other parents who get it. \nThe afternoon ends the way the best things do — with the whole family back together\, sharing pizza and ushering out the week with Havdalah. However you spent your afternoon\, you’ll leave with a full stomach\, good company\, and proof that community doesn’t require consensus.
