Natick

Natick Artists Open Studios (NAOS) is a two-day event, Oct. 15 and 16, with over 70 artists participating throughout town. Related events include a free painting event on the Natick Common, which was held in September, group shows with the artists and more.
The Bacon Free Library (BFL) will have the work of artists who have created a special exhibit, up for a year, starting Sept. 26. Several of the artists have created new work for this exhibit and two of the artists have generously offered their work to be auctioned off later to support the BFL.

Unlike other preschools, a local nursery school in Natick boasts a historic location and structure, a large old barn, for children to learn and explore.
“The facility is unique and homey, very non-institutional, and the play yard is amazing,” Daphne Damplo, director of the Wellesley Cooperative Nursery School (WCNS), said. “We started as a rented space in Wellesley, but the school moved in 1947 to its current space, a big old barn, in Natick. “The space was initially rented, but the school has had exclusive use of the building since the 1970s.”
