July 11, 2020 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

The Center for the Arts in Natick (TCAN) has been doing its best to stay connected with patrons since shutting down its physical location in mid-March due to the pandemic. Virtual movie screenings, online concerts, and such have been offered.

But TCAN now is ready to welcome people back into its building at 14 Summer St., for four days of screening The Empire Strikes Back, Monday July 13-Thursday July 17. Tickets can be purchased online only at natickarts.org.

Tickets for these shows will be made available to TCAN members only. Only 25 seats are available per screening to keep everyone socially distanced.

TCAN has outlined what it’s doing to keep staff and patrons safe, including conducting contactless temperature checks, and what it expects from visitors to help it do so.

Blame COVID-19: Natick Days canceled for 2020

June 10, 2020 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

The town of Natick has announced that its annual Natick Days community event featuring big trucks, food, music and other fun has been nixed for 2020 due to the COVIDd-19 pandemic. It’s usually held in September.

Recreation & Parks Director Karen Partanen, who has already been the bearer of bad news about the fate of summer camps in town, spoke briefly at the Board of Selectmen meeting on Monday, June 8.

The cancellation was made “after lengthy discussion and pondering, and talking about all the unknowns and phasing,” she said.

TCAN annual meeting goes virtual on June 3

June 3, 2020 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

(Update: Meeting video embedded below)

The Center for the Arts in Natick (TCAN) invites members, donors, sponsors and patrons to its livestreamed annual meeting on June 3 at 7pm.

While TCAN’s in-person events have been scrapped of late due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the organization has been offering livestreamed concerts and films. It continues to schedule in-person events as well in hopes that the health crisis subsides.

At its annual meeting, TCAN leaders will  “reflect on the accomplishments of the previous year and share plans for the future.”

If they know the future, we’re all ears…
