1. Concord Museum Farm to Lectern Speakers Series: Brian Donahue: At 7 p.m. tonight at the Concord Museum, Brian Donahue, an environmental historian, farmer and collaborator on the “New England Good Food Vision 2060” will be speaking as part of the "Farm to Lectern" speakers series.

3. 3 Painters / 3 Visions Exhibition Opening Reception: At 7 p.m. tonight at the Concord Free Public Library, there's an opening reception for 3 Painters / 3 Visions, an exhibition of paintings by three local artists. According to an event description: "While Haroon Khimani's abstract acrylic media works seek the beauty to be found in collapsed structures and natural disasters, Susanah Howland's closely observed oil paintings reveal the shifting perceptions of a sense of place. Vicki Denby's ethereal "Portraits", drawn with black watercolor, are in a style reminiscent of intaglio printmaking."
