6 PM reception | 7 PM interview

Don't miss the chance to hear from local artist and activist Robin Joyce Miller, who will be interviewed by CAI's Mindy Todd at this special event kicking off this year's Black History Month celebrating African Americans and the Arts, sponsored in part by the Woods Hole Diversity Initiative (woodsholediversity.org/bhm2024).

Miller will showcase her art and discuss her latest series, "America To Me," exploring themes of freedom and democracy. Her journey from educator to accomplished artist is truly inspiring. Learn about her significant contributions, including her work with the Cotuit Center for the Arts and her impactful Black Lives Matter series. 

Miller joined the CCftA board in May 2023, embarking on a mission to enhance representation across the organization, from the board to the stage, to mirror the diversity of the Cape Cod community. She also serves as a resident artist and volunteer at Zion Union Heritage Museum in Hyannis, MA.

Skylark in Concert

Grammy-nominated Skylark, “the cream of the American crop” (BBC Radio 3), is a premier vocal ensemble of leading American vocal soloists, chamber musicians, and music educators. Skylark’s dramatic performances have been described as “gripping” (The Times of London), “exquisite...thrilling” (Gramophone Magazine), and “awe-inspiring” (Boston Music Intelligencer). With “some of Boston’s best singers” (Boston Globe), the voices of Skylark “can sway you softly into calm and then all but throw you across the room with sheer harmonic force” (Thought Catalog).

WOODS HOLE DIVERSITY INITIATIVE

In 2004, the leaders of six Woods Hole science institutions signed a memorandum committing their institutions to work together to attract and retain a more diverse workforce. That memorandum established the Woods Hole Scientific Community Diversity Initiative. The initiative in turn established a diversity advisory committee (DAC) to make recommendations as to how the institutions can make the village a more diverse, more inclusive community. Falmouth Academy is proud to be an associate member of the DAC. Click here for information on DAC initiatives and events.
