Cannes: Glamour and Beyond
Tuesday, Aug. 22, 1 p.m.
This live virtual tour is of Cannes, one of the most iconic destinations on the French Riviera. The tour will start at the top of a small hill, showing a breathtaking panoramic view of Cannes. Information will be shared about its history as a small fishermen’s village and how it gradually grew into the city of glamour as it’s known today. The tour will make its way through the old town of Cannes and see charming architecture, quaint boutiques and local food before moving on to the famous Croisette, a palm-lined boulevard that stretches along the shore. The tour will stroll the promenade on the way to the Festival Palace, the home of the world-famous Cannes Film Festival.

The Day After Yesterday: Portrait of Dementia Exhibit
Aug. 29-Sept. 29, at Hopkinton Center for the Arts
The Day After Yesterday is a powerful collection of portraits and personal stories that destigmatizes dementia and humanizes the millions of people living with the disease. It deftly combines narrative and portraiture, breaking the taboo around dementia, and replacing the fear, futility and despair that so often are associated with the disease with empathy, nuance and complexity. For details, visit hopartscenter.org.

One of life’s pleasures is a good book. Another is the time to read it. At this meeting, attendees can relax and bring something to drink, all while enjoying book reviews and socializing. The September book is “Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman.
