The 5C Film and Media Studies Undergraduate Conference is a one day conference designed to build community among students studying film and media on each of the five campuses, to give our most engaged students an opportunity to hone their presentation skills, and to allow them to share insights from their work with a wider audience. Although there is a formal structure, the conference is focused on providing a friendly, supportive atmosphere for sharing ideas and meeting colleagues across the Five Colleges.

Join us every Saturday 9:30AM to 1:30PM from now through April 25th in the Wilton Mall food court!

Shop from 50+ local vendors while you listen to live music.

Make the Saratoga Farmers’ Market part of your weekly shopping plan. Come visit the market — We are the Saturday Place to Be!

A bar hanging from two ropes, but 20 feet in the air (don’t worry… there’s a net!) The flyer, holding the bar, jumps from a platform, swings through the air with the option for tricks and poses. Progressions include releasing and re-catching the bar, and being caught by a "catcher" on a second trapeze spaced perfectly across from it. Flyers fall into a net below, dismount, and get ready to fly all over again! NECCA offers drop-in classes for various circus classes throughout the session. Students can reserve their spot ahead of time on our website or show up 15 minutes early to class to register in person. (Note: we cannot guarantee space in the class if you do not pre-register.) Age 7 and up.

Break and paint your own bowl with gold using the ancient Japanese technique of Kintsugi.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. If a bowl is broken, rather than discarding the pieces, the fragments are put back, and the cracks are adorned with gold. There are no attempts to hide the damage, instead, it is highlighted. The practice has come to represent the idea that beauty can be found in imperfection. The breakage is an opportunity and applying this kind of thinking to instances of failure in our own lives can be helpful.

Join Shaker Heritage Society and hvkintsugi in this crowd favorite! This workshop will be led by local Art Therapist Tara DeLuca.

During the workshop you will connect with your bowl, break it, confront the damage and take ownership of the pieces that remain by glueing them back together.

The bowl will be changed forever, just as each person is through their own personal experiences.

This is a calming, shared experience. It is an excellent way to participate in self care.

“Instead of masking the flaws, a Japanese way of seeing things is that by highlighting the cracks, the piece becomes stronger, more beautiful, and easier to use.”

All materials are included!

You may bring one piece of broken pottery to use in the workshop, but we ask that you participate in the breaking and painting of the supplied bowl.
