Seasonal
Dismas Home joins us in November!
Dismas Home joins us on November 24 as our featured Community Partner!
As a nonprofit organization, the Dismas Home relies on the generosity of others to help their programs, which in turn helps those in our community.
Dismas Home is a residential treatment program with re-entry services for justice-involved women with substance use disorders. They provide residents with the time, space, and tools to heal and build a foundation for a successful life of long-term recovery in the community. They offer this opportunity to women who have the courage to change.
Dine at Firefly on Tuesday, November 24 to help this amazing organization that supports women in need in NH – Firefly will donate 10% of sales, alcoholic beverages excluded, for the entire day in support of Dismas Home’s underfunded programs.
If you would like to learn more about the Dismas Home and everything they do (or make a donation), please visit DismasHomeNH.org.
Should we collaborate with your nonprofit for our Community Partnership Series? Please email hello@fireflynh.com for more information!
Artists in Residence
Bruce Jones
Bruce Jones is a local artist from seacoast NH. His loose, bold, and unique paintings are on display in Firefly’s dining room known as the Art Room.
He learned the nuts and bolts of design and composition while attending the New England School of Art and Design in Boston, but he believes that his real education came from working with other professional artists. He was fortunate to travel and learn the art of plein air painting, which generates a lot of abstract qualities, lending itself to his natural expressive style.
He is a lifelong New Englander, and currently lives in Exeter, NH with his artist wife, Tracy, whose artwork is also on display in Firefly’s foyer.
Tracy R. Jones
Tracy was trained as an Art Educator at the Massachusetts College of Art where she had an emphasis in painting, and was influenced to examine, experience, and enjoy the process of creating while finding one’s own aesthetic.
Her large-scale assemblages and paintings explore the relationships between color and shapes while salvaging and utilizing oft-discarded materials and bold forms.
