Immersive exhibition features live music, dance‑painting, glow‑in‑the‑dark watercolor workshop

The Somerville Museum is thrilled to present Kaleidoscope: Reflecting the Moment, a groundbreaking, immersive, multi-sensory exhibition by multidisciplinary artist and curator Flor Delgadillo. Open now through August 23, 2025 at the Somerville Museum Kaleidoscope explores themes of home, community, memory, and transformation—using light, sound, and collective experience to deepen our connection to each other and to place. 

“Kaleidoscope: Reflecting the Moment invites the audience into a space where light transforms, sound evokes memory, and art becomes a shared moment of pause and creation,” says Delgadillo.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the Museum will host three dynamic public programs—each a unique, interactive complement to Delgadillo’s vision.

The Voice in Motion: Painting & Performance

Date: Thursday, July 31, 2025 · Time: 7:00 – 8:30 PM
Description: An interactive dance-and-painting performance, where audience-submitted words become real-time visual expression as Delgadillo moves and paints live. This innovative fusion of language, movement, and art embodies Kaleidoscope’s exploration of community-generated creativity 
Admission: $10 for non-members; free for Museum members and youth under 12

 The Glow Within: Meditative Self-Portraits in Watercolor

Date: Saturday, August 2, 2025 · Time: 10:00 – 11:00 AM
