“A Stitch in Time,” an exhibit of collage and textile work by Kathy Greenwood, will be on view through July 31 at the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum at 130 River Drive in Hadley.
The objects and images that populate the work allude to stories, relationships and observations of daily living. The ephemera of home — heirlooms, implements and cast-offs — can invoke personal memories as well as conjecture about the lives of others.
Greenwood received a master’s degree in textiles from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her work has been featured in group and solo exhibits regionally and nationally.
Music at Porter-Phelps
The museum opens its “Wednesday Folk Traditions” series for the season with a performance Wednesday by the Tim Eriksen Trio, a hardcore Americana group focused on transforming American folk music tradition with modern interpretations of old ballads, love songs and dance tunes.
Eriksen combines vocals with instrumental accompaniment on electric guitar, banjo, fiddle and bajo sexto — 12-string Mexican acoustic bass. He has performed on “A Prairie Home Companion” and at the Academy Awards broadcast, and contributed to the soundtrack of films such as “Behold the Earth,” “Chrystal” and “Cold Mountain.”
He will be joined for the performance by Zoe Darrow and Peter Irvine.
The performance will take place in the Sunken Garden at the museum. Admission costs $12; $2 for children 16 and under.
Picknickers are welcome on the museum grounds, beginning at 5 p.m.

“Casablanca” will be shown Sunday at 2 p.m. and Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Amherst Cinema, 28 Amity St. in Amherst, as part of the theater’s “Ingrid Bergman Retrospective.”
In Morocco during the early days of World War II, Czech resistance leader Victor Laszlo’s (Paul Henreid) only hope for escape is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who risks his neck for no one — especially Laszlo and his wife (Bergman), Rick’s ex-lover who broke his heart. The film also stars Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Rated PG.
“Once,” a film chosen as an audience favorite at the cinema, returns for a showing Wednesday at 7 p.m. as part of the theater’s 10th-anniversary celebration.
“Once” is the story of a busker (Glen Hansard) who meets a young Eastern European pianist (Marketa Irglova) on the streets of Dublin, Ireland. The two become friends and collaborators, and though each is in the midst of a troubled relationship, they also become potential lovers.
Rate R.
Regular admission for both films. To reserve, visit amherstcinema.org.
