Art @ Tilton: Intro to Museum of Leo’s Art (MOLA)
Drawings & Paintings by Leo. All proceeds from the sale of Leo's artwork support the autism community. Leo, a youth artist with an autism diagnosis, enjoys creating seasonal scenes, vehicles of all kinds, animals, and various landscapes. While drawing is his first love, Leo is very creative at using shapes and other materials, morphing them into various objects. A resident of Dedham, Leo strives to progress each day to live his best life. During the pandemic, art was one of Leo's primary activities. Through his artwork, he remembered the many things he loved but couldn't do because of social distancing. He used artwork during physical therapy sessions that became virtual during the pandemic-working on balance while he created themed, chalkboard drawing. Artwork was a source of happiness and self-regulation during such an unsettling time when Leo's school and supporting therapies were halted. Find MOLA on Instagram
Art @ Tilton: Ceramics by Griffin
Biography: Griffin Mariani is 14 years old and a 9th grader at Eaglebrook School. He lives in Montague, with his parents, brother Gavin, and Golden Retriever named Bozeman. Griffin enjoys taking art classes, travelling with his family, and is an avid hockey player. Artist Statement: I’ve taken many art classes as electives at school, including 2D Art, stone carving and stained glass, but ceramics has really resonated with me. I like working in this medium because I get to be creative and make something I can both admire and use in everyday life. My teacher Jaye Pope has been my guide and inspiration. I create pieces through hand building, coil techniques and throwing on the wheel. Each piece is hand glazed and fired in a kiln. I learn something new with every piece I create and continue to perfect my techniques. My favorite pieces combine hand thrown pots with pieces of stained glass on the bottom. The way the glass melts on the bottom always leaves a cool effect.

Third Thursday Book Discussion: Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
We will meet inside the children's room after closing with masks on, chairs spaced apart, and windows cracked open. A New York Times Bestseller • A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick! Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, TIME, The A.V. Club, Buzzfeed, and PopSugar “I can’t believe how good this book is.... It’s wholly original. It’s also perfect.... Wilson writes with such a light touch.... The brilliance of the novel that it distracts you with these weirdo characters and mesmerizing and funny sentences and then hits you in a way you didn’t see coming. You’re laughing so hard you don’t even realize that you’ve suddenly caught fire.” —Taffy Brodesser-Akner, author of Fleishman is in Trouble, New York Times Book Review From the New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang, a moving and uproarious novel about a woman who finds meaning in her life when she begins caring for two children with a remarkable ability. Lillian and Madison were unlikely roommates and yet inseparable friends at their elite boarding school. But then Lillian had to leave the school unexpectedly in the wake of a scandal and they’ve barely spoken since. Until now, when Lillian gets a letter from Madison pleading for her help. Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: the twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way. Lillian is convinced Madison is pulling her leg, but it’s the truth. Thinking of her dead-end life at home, the life that has consistently disappointed her, Lillian figures she has nothing to lose. Over the course of one humid, demanding summer, Lillian and the twins learn to trust each other—and stay cool—while also staying out of the way of Madison’s buttoned-up politician husband. Surprised by her own ingenuity yet unused to the intense feelings of protectiveness she feels for them, Lillian ultimately begins to accept that she needs these strange children as much as they need her—urgently and fiercely. Couldn’t this be the start of the amazing life she’d always hoped for? With white-hot wit and a big, tender heart, Kevin Wilson has written his best book yet—a most unusual story of parental love. Books available though Tilton and CWMARS.
