Primavera: Spring Produce Italian-Style with Chef Claudia Catalano
2025-05-19 17:30 - 20:30 | LexMedia, 1001 Main Campus Drive, Lexington, M, 02421, United States
Join local chef and food writer Claudia Catalano for an Italian-inspired, springtime cooking demonstration. Participants will learn the techniques and recipes used to create simple dishes that combine seasonal produce with classic Italian flavors.
Using the best of New England’s early spring harvest, Claudia will guide you through proper produce selection, efficient knife skills, and professional tips that will up your cooking game. You will nibble on Italian snacks while learning how to make asparagus and pecorino fritters, a savory appetizer that her Sicilian grandmother often made. Next, we’ll get busy with gnocchi, the beloved Italian potato dumplings. Fresh herbs—some of the first produce to emerge after New England’s long, cold winter—will be transformed into a bright green sauce for the dumplings. Lastly, you’ll learn a special technique for making flakey pie dough. The buttery pastry will form the base of a sweet ricotta and rhubarb crostata.
Come hungry! Plenty of each dish will be prepared in advance so that everyone can enjoy a generous taste of Claudia’s cooking. You will leave with printed recipes, a ton of new kitchen knowledge, and hopefully some new friends!

Those stories are represented through the music immigrants brought with them, enriching our nation despite the challenges they faced. While the stories are as varied as was America’s attitude toward immigrants, these stories are important because all those who came to America looked for a new beginning and hope for the future — which has been America’s promise.

Asian American Artist Christina Chang Featured at Galaray House in April 2025
2025-04-04 18:00 - 20:00 | Galaray House, 1720 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, MA, 02420, United States
Lexington, MA- Galaray House is proud to present Christina Chang as its featured artist for April 2025. A celebrated Asian American artist, Chang is known for her bold, colorful abstract paintings and landscapes that immerse viewers in dynamic energy and movement.
A special Artist Reception will take place on First Friday, April 4, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 PM at Galaray House. This event offers a unique opportunity to meet the artist, explore her latest collection, and gain insight into her creative process.
Christina Chang: The Art of Light and Motion
Chang’s work spans oil paintings, reflecting her deep connection to color, texture, and expression. As a Boston-based Chinese-Italian American artist, Chang is celebrated for her contemporary oil paintings that transcend traditional artistic boundaries. Her art draws inspiration from personal experiences and cultural influences, creating immersive and evocative works that explore the interplay of saturated colors, light, and emotion. Through her striking landscapes and abstract pieces, she invites viewers to experience the dynamic energy and depth of her work.
The exhibition will be on view throughout April. For more details, visit Galaray House.
About the Artist
Christina Chang’s art is deeply rooted in her multicultural heritage, world travels, and life experiences. Her father, an architect from Shanghai, instilled in her an appreciation for spatial design, while her Italian-American mother, an interior designer and artist, shaped her understanding of form and detail.
Receiving formal art training at age 13, Chang went on to earn a BFA from Texas Christian University, where she was awarded the Nordon Fine Art Scholarship, and later completed a master’s degree at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). A formative period of study in Florence, Italy, further influenced her creative journey.
Chang creates bold, colorful paintings that explore energy, movement, and emotion, bridging the gap between abstraction and landscape. Her work invites viewers into immersive spaces of color and form, drawing inspiration from both personal experiences and the natural world.
In addition to her studio practice, Chang is a dedicated art educator, inspiring high school students and leading weekend workshops and artist retreats to empower others to explore their artistic voice. She also offers private lessons and coaching, helping fellow artists develop their skills and creative careers.
