The Milford Arts Council is holding its Summer Pop Up series for a second year.
Music, dance, exhibits and more will be offered every second Saturday from May through September at 11 a.m. The community is encouraged to bring their own lawn chair or simply come by various locations int eh city to see visual and performing art.
This program is free to the community, though the MAC will accept donations. The series lineup is as follows:
May 15: Dewpoint with musicians Elana Zabari, Donna Travis and Wendy Terenzio at the MAC’s Firehouse Gallery at 81 Naugatuck Ave.
June 12: A dance party with New York City dancer/choreographer Maria Cherniske and friends at the Walnut Beach Pier in Milford.
July 10: An outdoor art exhibit along the fence of Wasson Field on Constitution Drive in Milford with music by Kayte Devlin.
August 14: Standard Banana steel pan music and more on the Milford Green on Broad Street in the center of downtown.
Sept. 11: Classical guitar by the MAC’s New England Guitar Society at the Milford Historical Society, located at 34 High St.
“We started this program last year as a way to bring some community joy into an otherwise dark pandemic summer,” said MAC Executive Director Paige Miglio. “It was so successful and well-received that we decided to do it again. Part of our mission is to make the arts accessible to as many people as possible, so this is a great way for us to serve the community. We hope people will wake up on the weekend and start their day by soaking up the arts, nature, and the great outdoors.”
