On February 17, 2024, The United Arc was proud to present our first annual Arc-A-Palooza, a concert benefiting The United Arc and the Individuals we serve, at the Shea Theater in Turners Falls, MA.

With a fantastic lineup, this inaugural event exceeded our expectations in turn out! The Shea Theater’s stage was graced by the debut performance of Alex Casavant, and performances by T.J and the Peepers, Hyfy, Bordertown, and John Waynelovich!

This event was sponsored by Greenfield Savings Bank, Greenfield Cooperative Bank and Renfrew Real Estate – we sincerely appreciate all their continued support!

This event was created as a fundraiser to further strengthen our ability to support our mission of supporting individuals within our community to achieve the universal goals of inclusion, choice, and independence, and also to have fun while achieving these goals.

The United Arc is excited to add Arc-a-Palooza to our list of annual events!

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
