Fresh Pond Reservation means so much to so many of us. Whether you come here to hear the tinkle of ice against the shore, the call of returning birds, or the squeal of children sledding in Kingsley Park, you may have been inspired to make a note in a journal, write a poem or song; or take a photo or make a drawing. We are calling people of ALL AGES and CREATIVE CAPACITIES to share your Reflections on Fresh Pond at an open mic. All mediums welcome –paint, print, a note scribbled on a napkin, photography, poems, a child’s drawing, or performance of song or dance. Please come prepared to share for a few minutes. This is a carry in/carry out ephemeral event designed to use multiple intelligences to appreciate the Reservation and the many ways it is experienced. 

If you don’t have something already made to share, come and make something during the first 15 minutes of our time together. Paper, crayons and markers will be available. We’ll have some prompts to help get you going. 

Would appreciate presenters registering in advance with jrogers@cambridgema.gov or 617 349-4793, with a sentence or two describing your creative work(s). Start the sentence with “I was moved to make (my art) when I experienced (____) at Fresh Pond”, and go on from there. Come share your heartfelt experiences with others who are really touched when they walk the Pond and share the wonderment.
