Call to action for anyone who supports the arts in Somerville!
There have been some rapid and unexpected changes in the arts ecosystem in Somerville at the city level. The Mayor has mentioned a "new direction" for the Somerville Arts Council, but details have yet to be shared.
This is an important moment for everyone who cares about the arts in Somerville - whether you live here or not! - to come together and advocate for transparency, open dialogue, and community involvement in how our city engages with and supports the arts moving forward.
Link in bio for the full backstory, email-writing toolkit, and petition. Your action right now will make a difference!
1) Most important and time-sensitive: Write/email your letter to Mayor Wilson & City Council *this weekend*
2) Add your signature to the petition.
3) Invite your networks to participate and speak up.
Somerville is a special place for the arts *because* of the artists who live and work here, and because of the long-standing support and partnership of the Somerville Arts Council. Help us make sure the new Mayor understands that the arts community must continue to be included in the conversation, and that we are here to partner with him moving forward.
Join @lisabellapole *this Saturday* for workshops on Loops & Chains and Aerial Pole!
💫 Aerial Pole + Hand/Foot Loop
12:30 - 2pm
💫 Loops & Chains Excite Me!
4pm - 5:30pm
There are just a couple of spots left in each workshop - grab your spot now at the sign-up link in our bio!

At Esh, we stand in solidarity with our community and neighbors in the fight for compassion and humanity for all. While we are keeping our doors open to our community today and our pre-paid programming is running, we encourage you to refrain from making purchases or direct your money to small, locally-owned businesses during today's general economic strike.

Workshop announcement! Join @aerial_rings for a workshop on Tightwire and Walking Pipe on Saturday November 22nd at 3:45pm.
Put more slide into your walks, leaps, and lunges in Sliding Into Tightwire! In this workshop we will explore what it means to connect our feet to the apparatus for longer periods of time, and open up more possibilities for our movement on the wire or pipe.
Students should be confident in a forward and backward walk on the wire and/OR pipe. They should have a stable lunge and be working on turns. This workshop is open to students ages 15 and up.

Amy @red_ruffed_lemur is joining the team as a straps instructor for the early morning straps folks! You can join her for Straps 201 on Tuesday mornings during Fall Session II, and watch out for even more AM straps classes with Amy soon!
