The Lydia Fair is an outreach event sponsored by the Greater Boston Vineyard. With a massive lineup of artists, ranging from photographers to poets and printmakers, Lydia Fair is a must-attend. Started in 2001 as an outlet for women to express their creativity, the Lyida Fair now showcases artwork of all sorts in an effort to raise money and awareness for many different organizations. You can check out more on the history of the Lydia Fair from their site here.
This event takes place at their Cambridge site, 170 Rindge Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02140.
This year, they’re raising money for two organizations: www.love146.org and www.rebuildafrica.org.
The benefit takes place on Saturday evening, April 25, featuring an original theatrical show entitled The Hour, at 6 and 8:30. The gallery is open 12-5 on both Saturday and Sunday, April 26, and we will be showing the documentary, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, about the civil war in Liberia, on Sunday afternoon.
