Welcome to OUR home.” &nbsp; This exhibition is made possible in part by support from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.arlingtonhumanrights.org/">Arlington Human Rights Commission</a>&nbsp;and the<a href="https://artsarlington.org/acac-grants-committee/">&nbsp;Grants Committee of the Arlington Commission for Arts and Culture</a>.&nbsp;Welcome Home&nbsp;is presented as part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.visitarlingtonma.org/arlington-250/">Arlington250: Untold Stories of Menotomy</a>&nbsp;Celebration happening through 2026 throughout Arlington, MA.
