Freaky Friday.
2003. PG. 97 minutes.

Single mother Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her teenage daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) couldn't be more different, and it is driving them both insane. After receiving cryptic fortunes at a Chinese restaurant, the two wake up the next day to discover that they have somehow switched bodies. Unable to switch back, they are forced to masquerade as one another until a solution can be found. In the process, they develop a new sense of respect and understanding for one another.

The Art and Poetry Challenge, an annual Racial Unity Team event, showcases human connection through the arts. K-12 students and adults were invited to submit art or poetry based on the theme of “Belonging.” The exhibit examines the opposing concepts of belonging and exclusion as experienced in our world today. A broad diversity of NH residents presented their original works of art or poetry and competed for monetary awards given to the first, second, and third-place winners across five age categories.

Noted local artist, educator, and Director of Admissions for Recruitment and Access at UNH, Richard Haynes, worked with LGBTQIA+ youth, adults, and allies to collaboratively design a mural that was painted by the public at the Portsmouth Pride event at Strawbery Banke. This collaborative mural will be on exhibit at the Portsmouth Public Library from July 1 through July 30 in the lobby.
