Expect some traffic and parking issues near Dunning Elementary School, as the second annual Dunning Dash 5K/fun run takes place this morning.
Below are my editor's picks for things to do today, Saturday, April 12.
- Dunning Dash: The Second Annual Dunning Dash takes place this morning. The 5K road race to benefit Dunning Elementary School will happen rain or shine. Same day registration is allowed an begins at 8 a.m. at the school.

- Beyond The Garden Reception: Framingham artist Nan Hass Feldman's has a new, one-woman show at Fountain Street Fine Art. Tonight from 5 to 7 p.m., there is a reception with the artist. The gallery is open today and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Inspiration for her paintings comes from the artist’s recent experiences on the Greek island of Skopelos and in the jungle area of Boca de Tomatlan, Mexico. Her paintings evoke a child-like joy, and yet a more sophisticated appreciation of the possibilities of seeing a subject endlessly – through vibrant color, pattern, texture, and imagination. Feldman’s paintings, whether oil, acrylic, or mixed media, are stylized, yet recognizable, and vibrantly colorful. Often intricate, playful, enlivening and upbeat, her work focuses on the subjects of interiors and landscapes. Feldman has had countless solo exhibitions throughout her distinguished career. Her work is in numerous corporate and university collections, as well as in the collections of the Danforth Museum and in private collections in France, England, Italy, Spain, Japan, and Sweden. She teaches at Danforth Art and the Worcester Art Museum, as well as in Europe and Mexico, and paints in her studio at Fenway Studios in Boston.
