Welcome to the Harvard Arts Festival! Our four-day annual celebration — produced by the Office for the Arts — shines a spotlight on the vibrant, year-round creativity that fills Harvard’s stages, studios, galleries, classrooms and public spaces. It’s a festival of artmaking and the story of our community: who we are, where we live and how we come together with joy through the arts.
Open to community members of all ages, the festival features more than 150 arts events of every kind, most of them free. Select festival events, including the Performance Fair<https://calendar.college.harvard.edu/performancefair>, will be livestreamed at HarvardArts on YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/harvardarts> so families, friends, alums and fans around the world can be a part of the experience.

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this newsletter!

As a member of our international community, you are an invaluable part of a continuing story of science research in Woods Hole which began in 1888 (WHOI in 1930) by scientists who left their distant homes to live and work here. Without you continuing to build upon this expression of leadership and discovery, Woods Hole as an international center for scientific excellence and education would be a very different place.

Need help navigating things in your new home?

Even for those of us from here, living in New England can sometimes be complex.
We can assist you with your questions
and finding helpful resources within the community:
