Hey friends—Laura Louise here! I’m thrilled to invite you to Articulture 2025. It’s a two‑day celebration of art, books, music, and community magic. This event takes place under one roof at Amelia Park Arena (21 South Broad Street, Westfield, MA). Whether you’re looking for a fun date night, a family outing, or just an afternoon lost in creativity, we’ve got you covered. Best part? Admission is always FREE, so bring everyone you love and let’s make some memories together.

🎨 Opening Night Reception

Friday, May 2 • 6:00 PM–9:00 PM

Kick off your weekend by joining me in the front lobby for an evening of first looks and festive bites.

• Sip & Savor
  • Grab a beer, glass of wine, or sparkling seltzer (available for purchase from Tribeca Gastro Bar & Grill).
  • Indulge in complimentary hors d’oeuvres and desserts whipped up by students from Westfield Technical Academy’s Culinary Arts program—served with pride by the National Honor Society.
• Explore Before the Crowd
  • 75 local and regional artists and authors will have their 10′ × 10′ booths open for browsing. Think vivid paintings, sculptures, mixed‑media creations—and signed children’s books straight from the author’s table.
• Live Music Vibes
  • Strolling musicians will drift through the space, setting a mellow soundtrack that’s perfect for discovery and conversation.

I can’t wait to greet you with a smile (and maybe a storytime book recommendation!). Come in comfy shoes, bring a friend, and let’s toast to the start of something wonderful.

🌟 Articulture Westfield – Day Two Celebration

Saturday, May 3 • 10:00 AM–5:00 PM

If Friday was the warm‑up, Saturday is the full showcase. Here’s what you won’t want to miss:

• Art + Book Show
  Wander among 75+ exhibit spaces featuring painting, collage, clay, photography, digital art, and more. Local and regional poets, writers, and children’s authors will be on hand with signed copies of their latest works—perfect for an early Mother’s Day surprise (May 11 is right around the corner!).
• Graffiti Board
  Find it in the main lobby: your blank canvas for doodles, messages, or a splash of color. No pressure—just pure, playful creativity.
• Live Music On the Run
  Keep an ear out for roaming musicians whose gentle melodies will turn every aisle into a mini concert.
• Artworks Westfield Scholarship Raffle
  Feeling lucky? Enter our raffle for a chance to win an original piece while supporting art scholarships for local students.

I’ll be there all day—book in hand, ready to gush over favorite pieces, share storytime tips, or help you pick out that perfect gift. So rally your family, grab your walking shoes, and I’ll see you under the arena lights for two days of pure creative joy! ❤️
