On Sunday …

No Farmers, No Food: You can support local farmers and the homeless at Beauty & the Bath today, by purchasing the "No Farmers, No Food," calendar, which raises money for Santa's Elves, a 501c3 non-profit organization that works with chefs, local businesses, and farmers to feed the Rhode Island homeless. The farmers, famous for putting food on the table, will be available for additional photo opportunities as well. Cider and refreshments will be served. From 1 to 4 p.m.

Our Little Picture Show: The Wickford Art Association gallery’s The Little Picture Show runs to Dec. 18 at their gallery at 36 Beach St. All the artwork in this exhibit is 8" x 10" or under and priced to sell.
