“Greenfield welcomes a new performing space on Main Street this weekend. The LAVA Center, part black box theater, part art gallery, is opening with three days of activities to reflect the center’s community-oriented mission of providing opportunities for local artists to perform, display their work, and elevate their visibility. The center, found between TD Bank and the Pushkin Gallery, opens with the Farley String Band, from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday. The following day, there is an international family dance with Brattleboro International folk dance from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m, immediately followed by Kids Story time with author-educator Doug Selwyn. The rest of the weekend’s line up include an ensemble performance by Strings for Kids; a reception for a photography exhibit by Lindy Whiton, called “My Franklin County;” a “Bring Your Own” Performance à la open mic; a fashion show; a performance by the after-school group Musica Franklin on Sunday; a potluck starting 5 p.m. Sunday with a discussion and traditional Irish music. All events are free. 324 Main Street, Greenfield. — Luis Fieldman”
