Three Artists Featured in “Draw a Line,” the Latests Exhibit at Storefront Art Projects

By |

The following announcement was provided by Storefront Art Projects:

Storefront Art Projects presents: Draw a Line, featuring Lesley Cohen, Sand T Kalloch, Christine Kyle from Dec. 6-27, 2025. A reception Saturday, Dec. 6, 1-4 p.m.

Lines in many shades of gray that form evocative shapes, lines that seem to be a mile long, and lines of perspective incised in wonky clay boxes meet up in Draw a Line this December at Storefront Art Projects. 

Lesley Cohen uses charcoal and pastel to makelayered marks that join together to form a fragmented whole. 

Sand T Kalloch’s abstract series “A Mile Long” uses wax pastels, graphite, conte and ink to ruminate on the concept of speed, distance and time. Christine Kyle’s quirky 2-D lines on 3-D wall sculptures challenge assumptions about the drawn line and the sculptural edge.

OP-ED: Beyond Closed Doors: Understanding Domestic Violence in Our Community

By |

By Anahid Shahrik

In the wake of a recent tragedy in Watertown, the Armenian community finds itself grappling with a painful reality: Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate by neighborhood, income level or outward appearance. It exists behind long driveways in affluent suburbs just as readily as in apartment buildings where neighbors can hear through thin walls. And too often, it remains hidden until it’s too late. On Oct. 27, 2025, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Armenian Relief Society Cambridge “Shushi” Chapter and the Brahma Kumaris Meditation Center co-hosted a community awareness panel in Watertown, providing a safe space to address what is too often left unspoken — a conversation our community urgently needs.
