Tickets cost $12 at the door. For information, visit www.pphmuseum.org.
“Camera Materna: Revealing the Artist Behind the Nurturer,” an exhibit of photography by local and regional artists who are connected by their dual roles of artist and mother, will be on view through July 31 at Barnes Gallery at Leverett Crafts & Arts, 13 Montague Road in Leverett. There will be a reception Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m.
The exhibit was conceived by Susan Valentine, the Barnes Gallery director, and features photography by Sara Acton of Hadley, Sara Lechner of South Hadley and Maren Vigeland of Leverett, as well as by Kate Hunter of Greenfield, Shelley Lawrence Kirkwood of Stonington, Connecticut, and Trish Crapo of Leyden.

“The Car Man,” a dance production by Matthew Bourne, will be shown on screen in HD Sunday at 1 p.m. at Amherst Cinema, 28 Amity St., Amherst.
Performed by Bourne’s dance company, New Adventures, the award-winning production is loosely based on Bizet’s opera “Carmen.” The familiar 19th-century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960s America, where dreams and passions of a small town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger.
Tickets cost $18. To reserve, visit www.amherstcinema.org. $9 tickets are available for students, with ID, at the box office only.
