My weekend suggestions for this first week of April includes two exhibits to go see. The one at the Mosesian, Art and Healing is a mixed media show that will be there until May 1. Check out the mostly cardboard piece in the photo below. The library has a new exhibit of fiber art called Farm to Form, which is a collaboration between Gore Place and fibre artists. Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of America at the Mount Auburn Cemetery with a literary historian who will talk about how authors in the 1800s turned the American Revolution into our national legend. Enjoy some fine Persian cuisine at a new restaurant from the team behind a long-time Watertown favorite dining destination. Get your weekend started by singing your favorite tunes at Mighty Squirrel.
