SUMMARY:Trash Transformed: A Binational Perspective on Art and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:The “Trash to Art” initiative\, a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) project between Salem State University in the United States and Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico\, exemplifies the transformative power of global shared learning.

By aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals #12 (Sustainable Consumption and Production) and #13 (Climate Action)\, “Trash to Art” challenges participants to critically examine their consumption patterns and the environmental impact of human activities. \nThis exhibition takes place in Salem State’s Winfisky Gallery\, located in the Ellison Campus Center\, 1 Meier Drive. The gallery is open from 10 am to 4 pm\, Monday through Friday. \nAdditional exhibition events on April 10 include an Artist Talk from 12:30-1:30 pm\, followed by an Artist Reception.

SUMMARY:Bonsai Workshop at Old Planters Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Beginner workshops are perfect for you to grab your friends\, grab a drink and come make tiny trees! We’re bringing the awesome art of bonsai out of the hedged in gardens and into the streets! Or at least into your favorite bars/breweries/pubs. Bonsai Bar is a night of fun you don’t want to miss. Learn the fundamental skills and techniques behind the art of bonsai while enjoying a night out with friends! Our teachers will introduce core concepts and guide your experience as you pot\, prune\, and design your very own bonsai tree! Our Guarantee: These tiny trees are so hardy we guarantee you can keep yours alive\, or we’ll replace it. \nThis workshop will be hosted at Old Planters Brewery. Our goal has always been to be firmly rooted in our community with everything we do. Whether it’s collaborating with other local businesses in our area (FRANK / Crave / Wandering Soul/ Fat Tuna Charters/ Half Baked) or giving back to the place that has given us so much (Beverly Hospital/HarborLight community partners) . \nThis idea of community rings true in our taproom as well. Our space has become a meeting place to hear local musicians\, enjoy local artists\, and get a taste of various foods in the Beverly area . It’s also a space where we would like ALL members of our community to feel welcome and accepted. For many\, craft breweries can sometimes feel exclusive and intimidating for those that don’t consider themselves “beer nerds” and this is a notion we will always work hard to dispel. We believe beer should be fun/accepting and our goal is to always have a variety of beers that speak to a wide audience. \nUnder 21 policy: Please contact Old Planters Brewery for details regarding underage entry \nFor more about Bonsai Bar and what to expect at our classes\, visit our website at: https://bonsaibar.com/products/old-planters-brewery \nHappens on the following Dates:\nApr 15\, 2025\, 7:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: EDT\nMay 20\, 2025\, 7:00pm to 9:00pm Timezone: EDT
