    Home Sweet Home

WINDHAM — On September 13th, the Main Street Community Center will unveil a special art  installation, "Wendy’s Legacy: Paying it Forward," celebrating the life and impact of  Wendy Filowitz, a beloved educator and passionate advocate for children. This  installation will coincide with the opening of the "This Must Be the Place" art show, in  partnership with the Windham Arts Alliance, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. 

The opening event will include refreshments and live country and fiddle tune music by  Running the River, setting the stage for a lively and meaningful celebration. The  "Wendy’s Legacy" installation will feature a selection of artwork from Wendy’s personal  collection, curated over a lifetime of dedication to the arts and her community. These  pieces, generously donated by her family, will be displayed in the center, with all  proceeds from their sale benefiting local children's programs. 

"We are honored to present Wendy’s curated collection in such a meaningful way," said  Sadhbh Lavery at the Main Street Community Center. "Wendy’s love for art and her  commitment to enriching the lives of children are at the heart of this exhibit. By  supporting this installation, we continue her mission to give every child the opportunity  to thrive through creativity and education." 

The artworks selected for "Wendy’s Legacy" align with the theme of "This Must Be the  Place", which explores ideas of connection, community, and belonging. As part of this  ongoing tribute, the "Wendy’s Legacy" wall will continue to feature art that complements  the themes of future shows at the center. 

The "Wendy’s Legacy: Paying it Forward" installation will be on display throughout the  upcoming season, with all sales proceeds benefiting children's programs at the Main  Street Community Center. The community is invited to experience this unique collection,  celebrate Wendy’s lasting impact, and support the next generation of young artists.
