NEW AT THE ROSE The Rose Art Museum will hold an opening reception on Wednesday, Feb. 15, from 5 to 8 p.m. to pay tribute to three new exhibits that officially open the following day. They are “Fred Eversley: Black, White, Gray,’’ showcasing one artist’s four decades of work using sculpture to explore materials, light, and the optical qualities of shapes and colors; “King Solomon’s Mines,’’ in which artist Tommy Hartung uses the legend of King Solomon in an installation of new sculptures, video, and photographs; and “Reflections,’’ artist Louise Nevelson’s first retrospective. Each exhibition runs through June 11. The Rose Art Museum is located on the Brandeis University campus at 415 South St., Waltham. For exhibit hours and more information, call 781-736-2000 or go to www.brandeis.edu/rose.

A SCULPTOR’S EVOLUTION Students in a museum practicum course at Regis College had the rare opportunity this past semester to work with West Newton artist Nancy Schön, best known for the “Make Way for Ducklings’’ sculpture in Boston, to curate an exhibit of Schön’s work. After creating a catalog and writing labels, the students installed the exhibition, titled “Metamorphosis,’’ which is open to the public now through April 24 in the Carney Gallery in the Fine Arts Center at Regis College, 235 Wellesley St., Weston. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment by calling 781-768- 7034.

REFUGEES ON FILM The Belmont Public Library, Belmont World Film, Beth El Temple Center, and First Church of Belmont Unitarian Universalist present the third in their series on the global refugee crisis with a screening of “All of Me’’ by first-time Mexican filmmaker Arturo González Villaseñor. It’s a chronicle of a group of women who stand by the train tracks near the Mexican town of La Patrona waiting to help freight trains full of undocumented Latin American immigrants that pass by. Representatives from the International Institute of New England and the Refugee & Immigrant Assistance Center will speak after the film. The screening takes place on Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Belmont Public Library, 336 Concord Ave., Belmont.

Pepper’’ era and “Abbey Road.’’ Tickets are $35 to $63 for adults; discounts apply for youth and seniors.
