“Medfield Photovoice” student art project 3:30–4:30 pm, 1/22, MHS Library

From Krissy King, MPH, Substance Use Prevention Coordinator

Photovoice Gallery to Showcase Medfield High School Student Art and Wellness Project Public Walkthrough on January 22 at Medfield High School Library

Medfield, MA — Members of the public are invited to attend a gallery walkthrough of the Medfield Photovoice student art project on January 22 from 3:30–4:30 p.m. at the Medfield High School Library.

Through a variety of expressive media, including photo collages, triptych art, light painting, and digital art, Medfield High School students explored a series of prompts reflecting the positive and negative influences on their health and well-being. Each project is accompanied by student-written captions designed to inspire education, reflection, and community dialogue about the experiences and challenges facing Medfield youth.

Medfield Photovoice is a collaborative effort between the Medfield Cares About Prevention (MCAP) community coalition, the Bellforge Arts Center, and the Medfield High School Art Department. Originally developed in 1992 by Caroline C. Wang and Mary Ann Burris, the Photovoice model is a participatory health promotion strategy that empowers individuals to examine personal and community issues through the lens of photography. This project supports MCAP’s ongoing Action Plan to advance youth health and wellness in Medfield through education, empowerment, and community-driven change.

The reception will also feature spoken reflections from selected Medfield students, accompanied by live music from the Medfield Guitar Club.

MFi Legacy Fund Grantees Reported Back

From Leanne LaBelle of the Medfield Foundation –

Celebration of MFi Legacy Fund Grants

The 2024 Grant Recipients of the Medfield Foundation’s Legacy Fund celebrated with midyear reports at the Zullo Gallery on Thursday night, December 5th. 2024 Legacy Fund Grants were awarded to the Peak House Heritage Center for a Traveling Trunk exhibit, Medfield TV for Podcast Equipment and the Dwight Derby House for their East Parlor Project, honoring one of its extraordinary residents, Mary Derby.  

Director of the Gallery, Bill Pope, welcomed everyone to the Zullo, which received a Legacy Fund Grant itself in 2023 for the creation of an innovative Augmented Reality Exhibit. According to Pope, the exhibit is still hosted on the internet and can be seen around town with the app, Hoverlay. 

This year’s Legacy Grants have already made a big difference. The excitement was gushing from Wheelock’s 3rd grade teachers about their plans for the Traveling Trunk as a multidiscipline time capsule in their 3rd grade curriculum. 

And the energy for the Dwight Derby House has been transformed. Their East Parlor Project will honor Mary Derby, a single mother who ran a bonnet manufacturing business from her home while raising a son destined for greatness.

To paraphrase Rob Babson of the Peak House Heritage Center, he said, “Thanks to the grants from the MFi Legacy Fund, impressive talent has been brought to Medfield and ‘cross pollinated,’ amplifying and raising the quality of our offerings and excitement for our town.”

Stay tuned for news on Legacy Fund’s next “Call for Grant Applications.” To learn more, visit MedfieldFoundation.org

The MFi’s key fundraiser, the Angel Run 5K / Run / Walk is happening this Sunday, December 8th at 11:30am at the Medfield High School.  Come celebrate the season and support a great cause!

The Medfield Foundation is a volunteer run 501-(c)(3) nonprofit charitable corporation whose mission is to build community by supporting nonprofit initiatives, raising funds for those in need and distributing grants that positively impact Medfield.

The MFi Legacy Fund is a professionally managed, community-supported Endowment Fund empowering residents to make permanent gifts to improve the community and town of Medfield. Through a competitive “Pitch It” process, Medfield based non-profit initiatives or town agencies can apply for grants to benefit the town. To date, almost $100,000 in grants have been given away. Planned gifts to the MFi Legacy Fund are encouraged and will keep the granting going strong.
