Waterville Creates and partners will host First Friday events on Feb. 2 at multiple locations in Waterville.

The opening reception for “45,000 Quilt Project” is set for 5-7 p.m. in the Ticonic Gallery, 93 Main St. The project is a display that brings together the work of over 60 immigrant justice activists and artists.

An opening reception for Playscape: Contemporary Art from the Colby Museum’s Collection will take place from 5-7 p.m. at the Colby College Museum of Art , 5600 Mayflower Hill Drive. Inspired by the 2023-25 Colby College Center for the Arts and Humanities theme of play, and sourced from the Colby Museum’s collection, this exhibition invites you to consider the role of play in contemporary art. There will be hands-on games and snacks.
