Wachlin’s portfolio documents the changes in Maine potato barns in Aroostook County. He represents older\, often broken down\, structur es through silver gelatin prints on distressed\, hand-made paper\, while the modern barns are revealed to us in color\, on aluminum. Alan Vlach s photographs stem from his travels down back roads searching for remn ants of a past that is rapidly disappearing in the midst of factory farm ing\, strip malls and fast food restaurants. The images depict subjects including Southern storefronts\, decaying houses\, and abandoned Midwest ern farm buildings. Vlach uses modern technology to capture the images\, but prints them using the historic processes of salted paper and pallad ium. Together these bodies of work present physical reminders of fading traditions and changing industries.\n\nAbout the Artists\n\nAl Wachlin J r. is a fine art photographer based in Philadelphia. He first became int erested in photography while attending Northeastern University. This int erest continued and grew after transferring to Temple University where h e studied finance. He is not just an artist\, but also an organizer. In 2001 he co-founded the Light Room\, a non-profit darkroom\, with the mis sion of promoting photography in Philadelphia through community outreach \, public exhibitions\, and darkroom facilities. He has coordinated stud io tours and help to host artist exhibitions including two regional phot ography competitions. In the past fourteen years he has been a part of n umerous group and solo shows.\n\nAlan Vlach is a fine art photographer w ith a deep commitment to the traditional darkroom while fully embracing new technologies. He works extensively with digital enlarged negatives a nd historical processes as well as digital printmaking. In 1999 he began a formal study of the medium with George DeWolfe. Since then\, he has a ttended workshops with Marilyn Bridges\, George Tice\, Tillman Crane\, B renton Hamilton\, Sean Kernan\, Mark Nelson\, Josephine Sacabo\, Paul Ta ylor and Lewis Kemper. In 2004 – 2005 he attended the Certificate Prog ram at Rockport College. In 2006 he began capturing images digitally\, w orking in Photoshop to create enlarged negatives and positives for use i n historical processes including platinum/palladium\, kallitype\, salted paper\, cyanotype and\, most recently\, photopolymer gravure. He has be en teaching at the Maine Media Workshops since September 2007. Alan resi des in Trenton and Portland\, Maine.

Likewise\, the danc ers this evening will share with you their hearts.\n\nProfessional belly dancers Amani Jabril of Atlanta\, Rosa Noreen\,\nJosephina Gasca\, Adir a\, and Vivian Vice of Maine\, and Sahina of\nWestern Massachusetts will each bring their special styles to the\nstage.\n\nSpecial guests Origin s Folkloric Troupe of Boston will open the show with Egyptian folkloric dances.\n\nOkbari Middle Eastern Ensemble will be playing music from the Egyptian Golden Era in the form of a takht ensemble--the ultimate in Ar abic music.

When an older sibling offers up a jar of glowing firefli es\, or a grandmother puts a Winter Berry on your tongue\, we are in a c olloquial\, familiar manner opening the door to the larger world outside . The photographs from Natural Findings explore the curiosity and awe of our early grasp of nature\; a paper wasp nest that appears dropped from Mars\, the frog egg masse that on close inspect\, possible through a ph otograph\, becomes a gelatinous scoop of stars\, a constellation of blac k dots\, soon to be tadpoles. My pictures delve into that personal momen t when our fascination\, at what has been collected and contained in tha t jar\, box\, or bag is visualized on film. The photographs become both the shared means of a longer examination and the conduit of our own priv ate recollection of nature.The collections and process are in the realm of both science and curiosity. These moments of photographs are made slo wly and carefully with an 8x10 view camera.\n\nAbout the Artist\n\nChery le St. Onge was born in Worcester MA. She grew up on college campuses as the only child of a physics professor and a painter. She received an M. F.A. from Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. Her photographs have b een widely exhibited\, most notably at Princeton University\, University of Rhode Island\, Massachusetts College of Art\, Rick Wester Fine Arts and an American Institute of Architects traveling exhibition. She has re ceived numerous awards and residences including a 2009 John Simon Guggen heim Fellowship\, a Critical Mass Finalist Exhibition Award\, Polaroid M aterials Artist Support Grant and MIT graduate Fellowship. Her photograp hs are held in several private and public collections\; the University o f New Mexico Art Museum\, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts\, the Cassilha us Collection and the Guggenheim Foundation. She has been on the faculty at Clark University\, Maine College of Art and The University of New Ha mpshire.

Clark’s presentation comme nts on the current paradigm shifts that are changing the face of this 15 \,000-year-old art form almost beyond recognition.\n\nClark is the prize winning author of over 70 books on ceramics\, was the leading dealer of ceramics in the late 20th century and today is founder and Chief Editor of CFile Weekly\, the field’s most edgy\, expanded and sophisticated publication. It covers the futurist edge\, the point at which the medium is always fluxing\, edge between today and tomorrow.\n\nLooking at 30 o f the world’s most adventurous players in the new ceramic landscape— artists\, designers\, and architects. Clark’s talk raises several key questions about the hybridization of design and studio pottery as the in evitable future. Whether ceramics will lose its identity and history giv en the fine art world’s absorption of ceramics as the hot “new” ma terial for sculpture? And finally whether we should think of ceramics mo re as an idea and not a material or final product.\n\nWhile some questio ns cannot be fully answered they can definitively be explored. Following the lecture\, please join Garth Clark and others in a roundtable discus sion in the ICA at MECA\, 1-2 pm.

Her one woman band explores the fo rmat of looping vocals and guitar riffs\, specifically writing for the s um of her moving parts: loopers\, drums\, vocals and stringed instrument s. Within the constraints of that technology\, a stacked and ambient vib e emerges\, underpinning Kristen’s ability to be acoustically brooding one moment\, explosive and epic the next. The show always promises to b e a deliciously fun night of music\, highlighting the musical growth Kri sten has experienced over an adventurous couple of years\, interacting w ith diverse audiences across the country and around the world.

In 1866 it survived The Great Fire when fi reman and member William Wilberforce Ruby saved it by covering it in wet blankets courtesy of spring running through the building’s basement. The Abyssinian Meeting House functioned as a cultural center and a leadi ng contributor to The Underground Railroad. After years of vacancy\, thi s cultural center was almost lost again in the 1970’s when it was slat ed for demolition by the city. Deborah Cummings Khadraoui rediscovered t his important cultural center and catalyzed its restoration. As the thir d oldest African American meeting house in the country\, The Abyssinian Meeting House is an important American cultural landmark.\n\nJoin us for a night of live stories around the theme "Still Standing".

" -Relix\n"[Soule Monde is] an MMW-esque brand of groove-rock that shows off the incredible skills Lawton and Paczkowski possess." - Scott Berns tein/Jambase\n\nSoule Monde is avant funk erupting from the syncopated m inds of power drummer Russ Lawton and B3 wizard Ray Paczkowski. An ideal union of swagger and raw talent\, the pair is cemented into an indestru ctible pocket\, where bold improv\, loose set lists\, and incredible mus icianship drive their groove-rock train into unknown territories. It's f luid funk crafted for the dance floor\, abetted by an extensive grasp of jazz fundamentals.\n\nPaczkowski has an intrepid knowledge of the Hammo nd B3\, playing it as fearlessly as Han Solo flies the Millennium Falcon through an asteroid field\, while his left hand lays down bass lines on the clavinet with the ferocity of the meanest four-string\, soul-cat.\n \nLawton is constantly responding to his partner’s attacks – pushing the groove deeper while holding the pocket like he’s handcuffed to th e snare. Don’t expect the beat to drop with Soule Monde\, and at the s ame time don’t expect to get stuck in one groove. Quite simply\, this is the jazz-duo your parents warned you about.\n\nMembers of Soule Monde have appeared at Bonnaroo\, Austin City Limits\, on Saturday Night Live \, David Letterman\, Jay Leno\, Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Fallon\, and hav e shared the stage with Carlos Santana\, Rolling Stones\, Trey Anastasio \, Dave Matthews\, Victor Wooten\, Mike Gordon\, Viperhouse + Strangefol k.\n\nGhosts of Jupiter: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofjupiter\n\nGho sts of Jupiter takes on a new direction with a revamped line-up and thei r second independent full length release: The Great Bright Horses\, due out in April of 2016. Formed in 2011 and led by singer/composer and mult i-instrumentalist Nate Wilson (keyboards\,guitar\,flute and vocals)\, Gh osts of Jupiter achieved regional success with their self-titled debut r elease\, at which time they appeared alongside Blue Öyster Cult\, moe.\ , Robert Randalph and the family band\, the Buffalo Killers and Dead Mea dow.\n\nWhile their early efforts drew comparisons to Cream and Black Sa bbath\, The New England based quintet’s latest evolution harnesses the experimental flute-prog of Traffic and King Crimson\, the exploratory e lements of Meddle-era Pink Floyd\, and the modern psychedelia of Tame Im pala\, Midlake\, and Dungen. Self-recorded in various remote locations b y the band’s bassist and engineer Tom Lada\, the record features the b and’s newest addition Jason Cohen (Ryan Montbleau Band) alongside drum mer and percussionist Thomas Arey (J. Geils Band) and guitarist Adam Ter rell (Assembly of Dust).

An Organ Recital DESCRIPTION:It’s not often audiences are invited to experience the vas t and intense sounds of the pipe organ while viewing an exotic troupe of belly dancers. But that’s exactly what organist Mark Rossnagel and ch oreographer Heather Powers had in mind when they developed the repertoir e and choreography for Everyone Dance! According to Rossnagel and Powers \, “Everyone Dance! is a wonderful opportunity for attendees to step o utside the box and experience something completely different and unexpec ted.”\n\nOn April 15th at 7:30 p.m. Rossnagel will treat the audience to seven renowned organ pieces spanning five centuries\, including Bach s Fugue in G Major\, BWV 541\, Calvin Hampton’s Those Americans\, Di etrich Buxtehude’s Ciaccona in E Minor\, Hampton’s At the Ballet\, J an Pieterzoon Sweelinck’s Ballo del Granduca\, Hampton’s Everyone Da nce\, and Bach’s Passacaglia in C Minor\, BWV 582. According to Rossna gel the repertoire for the recital was chosen to dispel the notion of th e organ being a dark\, somber instrument. "Most people associate the sou nd of the organ with church\, with religion\, with all things serious. B ut it does have a lighter side!”\n\nThree of the music selections will feature Heather Powers and The Echo Impressions\, a dance troupe featur ing 8 local performers. Powers collaborated closely with Rossnagel to en sure the choreography brought out and enhanced the nuances of each organ piece. She hopes the audience “will go on a visual ride that mirrors the dramatic and emotional feel of the organ.”\n\nAbout the performers :\nMark Rossnagel came to Maine three years ago from his hometown of Sta ten Island\, New York\, to earn a master's degree in piano performance f rom the University of Southern Maine. In addition to continuing his stud ies there with Laura Kargul\, he is now on faculty as class piano instru ctor\, and enjoys working with piano students of all ages and levels. He currently serves as Music Director of First Parish where he explores ma ny different genres of music with the choir and special guest musicians from across the state and beyond.\n\nHeather Powers is a devoted belly dance performer who recently joined the management team at Bright Star W orld Dance\, Maine's only dance studio focusing in belly dance. Her styl e is heavily influenced by her experience as a visual artist and her des ire to create a transformative experience by filling space with strong\, clean\, graceful movements that captivates audiences.\n\nTickets for Ev eryone Dance! can be purchased at the door the evening of the performanc e: $10 general admission\, $5 seniors and students. Proceeds will be sha red with a local charity.

Cassius Clay won the first bout in Miami Beach in February 19 64\, when Liston refused to come out for the seventh round. The second f ight took place in Lewiston\, Maine\, fifteen months later in May 1965. Halfway through the first round\, Ali countered a left from Liston with a fast right\, knocking Liston down. He did not get up. Ali’s right wa s so fast many spectators never even saw it. It was quickly dubbed the P hantom Punch and rumors began to swirl that Liston had thrown the fight. Many who believed Liston--a brutal fighter who picked up boxing in pris on--had also thrown the first fight the year before in Miami were now vi ndicated.\n\nJournalist and sports historian Rob Sneddon takes a fresh l ook at the infamous Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston fight of May 25\, 1965\, w hich ended in chaos at a high school hockey rink in Lewiston\, Maine. Sn eddon digs deep into the fight’s background and delivers new perspecti ve on boxing promotion in the 1960s\; on Ali’s rapid rise and Liston s sudden fall\; on how the bout ended up in Lewiston--and\, of course\, on Ali’s phantom punch. That single lightning-quick blow triggered a complex chain reaction of events that few people understood\, either the n or now.\n\nFree for MHS Members\; $5 general admission.

The family narrative entrusted to her--"a well-polished artifact\, an heirloom that had been carefully pre served"--began among the Yoruba in West Africa and continued with her ow n long lifetime. In 1983\, folklorist Jane Beck began to interview Turne r\, then one hundred years old and still relating four generations of or al history. Beck uses Turner's storytelling to build the Turner family s aga\, using at its foundation the oft-repeated touchstone stories at the heart of their experiences: the abduction into slavery of Turner’s Af rican ancestors\; Daisy's father learning to read\; his return as a sold ier to his former plantation to kill the overseer\; Daisy's childhood st and against racism\; and her family's life in Vermont. Beck weaves in hi storical research and offers a folklorist's perspective on oral history and the hazards and uses of memory.\n\nJoin us to hear firsthand from Be ck the origins and inner-workings of documenting this moving family hist ory.\n\nFree for MHS Members and faculty\, staff\, and students of USM\; $5 general admission.

In a career that spans over fifty years\, a well-respected now retired professor who taught at the Maine College of Art\, he continues to strive for dynamis m and unity in his work.\n\nEd says about the work\, "There is reference to ongoing themes\, groups of works or series that\, for the most part\ , go back many years. Titles such as Bathers or Window Still Lives I can trace back to the 1960's. The Swimmers are a recent project from memori es of my 6 am swims that have been a discipline for over 50 years. I mak e a distinction between subject and object\, the latter is much more imp ortant to me as it is an aesthetic concern that involves the quality of the painting (the object)."\n\nDouglas received his BFA from the Rhode I sland School of Design and his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. His work can be seen not only in the permanent collection of the Portla nd Museum of Art\, but also in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts\, the Ci ncinnati Art Museum\, and the San Francisco Art Institute Art Bank.\n\nE d's work is collected both nationally and internationally.

While sipping on their favorite brews at Rising Tide Br ewing Company in Portland audience members will discover the connections between the art of brewing and the art of playing the music of Bach. Ju st as many brewers follow a recipe that was used hundreds of years ago\, Steuart's approach to playing Bach also looks back on old “recipes” and methods of playing. The program of Bach’s Cello Suites will be in terlaced with short explanations of Steuart’s historical\, interpretiv e approach along with comments from the brewery on the historical brewin g method of each beer. Each of the three suites will be paired with one of Rising Tide’s own brews.\n\nThe concert is part of a project called Music in Familiar Spaces\, a yearlong tour of the US bringing the highe st level of classical music performance to homes\, churches\, cafés\, b ars\, or any place where community already exists. One of the aims of th e Music in Familiar Spaces tour is to make classical music accessible to a wide and varied audience. This will be accomplished not only by perfo rming in familiar\, comfortable and untraditional spaces\, but by design ing programs that invite the audience to experience the music in a new a nd engaging way. The audience will also be asked to name-their-own-ticke t-price\, paying what they can afford and what they deem the concert is worth (beer is sold separately). Music in Familiar Spaces was started by Steuart with his wife Michelle and the couple have been on tour since O ctober 2015\, living and traveling full-time in a 1959 FAN trailer.\n\nA bout Steuart\n\nQuickly establishing himself as one of the leading early /new music performers of his generation\, Steuart Pincombe can regularly be heard in concert as a soloist and chamber musician in a variety of v enues and festivals across North America and Europe. Steuart enjoys an a ctive career designing creative programs and being involved in innovativ e collaborations with leading ensembles and performers. Highlights of St euart's recent concert season include being a featured soloist with Soli stenensemble Kaleidoskop (DE)\, radio and festival appearances with Ense mble Ausonia (BE)\, performing with Holland Baroque Society (NL) for Kin g Willem Alexander of The Netherlands\, appearing as soloist at the Amst erdam Cello Bienalle\, and launching the first season of Oerknal! (a con temporary music collective which Steuart co-founded). His concert 'Bach& amp\;Beer' was selected by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as one of the 'Top 10 Classical Events of 2014' (USA) and a concert in which he appeared a s soloist with Rene Schiffer and Apollo's Fire was numbered in London's '5 Best Classical Music Moments of 2014' according to The Telegraph (UK) .\n\nSteuart is a member of the cello and chamber music faculty at the C redo Chamber Music Festival in Ohio\, co-director of the baroque program of the Crescendo Institute in Hungary\, and has held residencies at var ious institutions and conservatories in the US. Steuart received a BM in modern cello and a MM in viola da gamba and baroque cello from the Ober lin Conservatory of Music.

Fro m playing fiddle in an old-time band\, to performing and recording with pop artists\, to playing in a Middle Eastern takht\, all four members of the quartet make a life of creatively pushing the limits. They share a belief that their instruments\, experiences\, and training allow them to cross the musical\, artistic\, and even social boundaries associated wi th different genres. Together as a string quartet\, Amarantos seeks to s how that this ensemble of two violins\, a viola and a cello can be timel ess and borderless.\n\nWith this foundation\, Amarantos draws from the t raditional classical canon but also from other musical genres. Violist\, arranger\, and composer Bryan Brash has adapted and continues to adapt many works\, from tangos\, to jazz\, to pop songs\, for the quartet. The group also seeks to bring their music out of the traditional concert ha ll and into venues where classical string players can reach new audience s. Though some might see it as innovative or progressive\, this decision is partially motivated by the origins of chamber music and the string q uartet\, when performances were often held in smaller venues where perfo rmer and spectator could be close and even interactive. So\, while you c an experience Amarantos Quartet’s music in a more traditional concert format\, you can also catch them playing more casually in environments s uch as a cocktail bar or a house-concert.\n\nSince coming together in Po rtland\, Maine in 2013\, the group has performed with pop artist Halsey on The TonightShow with Jimmy Fallon\; on Sofar Sounds Maine on their ow n\, and again as guests of artist Sara Hallie Richardson\; at the TEDxDi rigo Mavericks and Misfits\; on The Cold River Radio Show\; at The Leura Hill Eastman Performing Arts Center\; and also regularly throughout Mai ne and the greater Portland area on their own and in collaboration with many other artists.

He’d been writing music in private for years\, but it was 2001’s Tig er Tom Dixon’s Blues — a debut album that bridged the gap between be tween folk and Americana — that officially introduced him as a singer/ songwriter\, kick starting one of the more acclaimed careers in modern-d ay roots music. Since then\, he’s focused on a different kind of const ruction: building a catalog of songs that spin stories of hard work\, he artache and the human condition.\n\nOn Fortune\, he turns his focus inwa rd\, using himself — not the people around him — as the album’s ma in character. It’s his seventh solo release\, written and recorded aft er years of heavy touring. Looking to make a record that could serve as a raw\, authentic document of his live show\, Picott recorded Fortune qu ickly\, cutting six songs during his first day in the studio and finishi ng the entire album within a week and a half.\n\n“I wanted to make a r ecord where we captured performances\, as opposed to imitating performan ces\,” says Picott\, who grew up in rural New England before relocatin g to Nashville. “Technology makes it so easy to do an imitation of wha t your best performance would sound like\, but that’s not a real perfo rmance. That’s just what you would want yourself to sound like. I didn ’t want to do that. For better or worse\, Fortune is what I actually s ound like.”\n\nMusicians like Slaid Cleaves\, Ray Wylie Hubbard\, and Fred Eaglesmith would claim it’s for the better. All three have record ed Picott’s songs\, showing their support for a self-sufficient songwr iter who plays most of his shows alone\, relying on his voice and acoust ic guitar to pack a punch. Fortune gave him a chance to put together a s mall band\, though\, with Will Kimbrough (Steve Earle\, Guy Clark) handl ing the electric guitar parts and producer Neilson Hubbard (The Apache R elay\, Matthew Ryan) doubling as the group’s drummer. With Lex Price j oining in on bass\, the group kept things as real and raw as possible. T hey just plugged in and played.\n\n“A lot of these songs explore a sen se of chance\, of what might happen with your life\,” Picott says. “ Jeremiah” is the story of a soldier who doesn’t home from Iraq\, “ Uncle John” is a wry look at family dysfunction\, and “Alicia” is a naked telling of a romantic break. The songs come from his life\, and the details tell a vivid story. “There’s a sense of luck\, and how t hings might unfold for someone. I thought that calling it Fortune would put a positive spin on that idea of chance and circumstance. It helps wr ap up the feeling that runs through the record.”\n\nhttp://rodpicott.c om/ URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:51207abe-ec79-430d-80c3-de9c370de539 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160813 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Many Mothers Maine Music Festival DESCRIPTION:Many Mothers Maine Music Festival\nJuly 16th to July 17th at Caswell Farm\, 120 Whitney Rd in Gray\, Maine\n\nFeaturing:\n\nThe Heat ed\nMonique Barrett\nZeile August\nJenny Van West\nClara Junken\nMark Ti pton\nMeghan Yates\nSorcha Cribben ­ Merrill\nKate Schrock\nMaia Sharp\ n\n“A love letter\, secret rendezvous\, and peaceful throw down for th e singer – songwriter\, and\ncomposer…”\n\nGates and parking open at 9:30 AM on Saturday July 16th\, music will begin at 11am.

Sebastian Bach DESCRIPTION:On August 5th at 7 pm\, classical guitar music returns to St . Lawrence Arts in Portland with From Tragedy to Transcendence: The Six Suites for Cello Solo by J. Sebastian Bach performed by Steven Hancoff.\ n\nSteven Hancoff first heard the music of the ‘Cello Suites back in t he 1980’s and fell in love\, with not just the music\, but also the st ory which accompanied the music\; a story which Bach has used to create the music which weaves and entrances\, as fresh today as it was when fir st written back in 1720. That the music survived at all was nothing shor t of a miracle. That it has been transcribed into modern format or mere suitable for acoustic guitar\, thus reintroducing it to a wider audience \, is indeed something very special\, rare and beautiful.\n\nAs he was a sked about his current Bach transcription\, Steven Hancoff shared\n\n“ When I was first smitten with the desire to transcribe and record the Si x Suites for Cello Solos\, the entire idea was to transform each of the 36 movements – six pieces of music in each of six suites – into musi c for the guitar. I had fallen in love with the music back in the 1980 s\, and as I was approaching my 60th birthday\, the timing felt right. That is to say\, it was now or never!”\n\nElaborating on transcription Steven noted\n\n“Transcription is not merely the transferring of note s from one instrument to another. Transcription here is the art of creat ing a piece of guitar music out of a piece of cello music. One of the ce ntral issues that was necessary to confront was this: cello is a one-not e-at-a-time instrument – you can’t play separate\, concurrent melodi c lines and you can’t play chords. In short\, this means a cello soloi st can play melody but not harmony.\n\nA guitar\, on the other hand\, is idiomatically suited\, or even designed\, for the musician to do all th ese things. So\, transcription here ultimately means harmonizing the Bac h Cello Suites.Every day I practiced two suites – twelve pieces of mus ic – by Johann Sebastian Bach. Normally\, when a musician is working o n a piece of music\, he memorizes it\, both mentally and muscularly. Thi s practice was essentially different in that I had to struggle to not me morize because\, whenever a new harmonic idea occurred to me\, I kept on changing the transcriptions. And of course\, the more I practiced the S uites\, the more intimate I became with them\, and so the more ideas cam e my way.\n\nEarly on\, it dawned on me that familiarizing myself with t he life of this man might deepen my understanding of who he was\, and th at understanding would serve me to better organize the music.

Master stone-cutte r Bartlett Adams memorialized the tragedy and triumph of the region in n early 2\,000 gravestones. The book examines the artistry of the headston es that mark the resting places of three generations of the same family who all went down with the schooner Charles\, and reveals the grief that Adams poured into the stones for his own three children. Through deep a nd original research\, author and guide Ron Romano narrates the early hi story of southern Maine and one man's legacy\, carved in stone.\n\nA nat ive of Portland\, Ron Romano leads the cemetery walking tours program fo r Spirits Alive\, the Friends of Eastern Cemetery. He is active in stone conservation and enjoys researching "subterranean residents" and graves tones. He has found 1\,750 gravestones at 133 Maine cemeteries that were produced in the Bartlett Adams stone-cutting shop between 1800 and 1828 . Ron has presented his original research on the life and work of Adams locally and nationally at a series of well-received lectures.\n\nBook si gnings and cemetery tour sessions will be conducted at 10:00AM\, noon\, and 2:00PM.

In his n ew book\, Forever Yours\, Bar Harbor\, Earl Brechlin transports readers back in time to the Golden Age of Acadia\, Mount Desert Island\, and Bar Harbor\, when the Rockefellers strolled the streets and carriage roads were actually used for carriages. These antique postcards were once coll ected and treasured\, kept as mementoes and displayed for guests. While digital photography has replaced the postcard as the preferred way to sh are vacation memories\, readers will enjoy traveling through time with r egistered Maine guide and author Earl Brechlin. Alongside each image\, B rechlin provides illuminating details\, tidbits of Maine lore\, and info rmation about how modern day Mount Desert Island compares with the sceni c postcard.\n\nEarl Brechlin is an author\, journalist\, and registered Maine Guide who lives in Bar Harbor. Born in Connecticut\, Brechlin retu rned to Maine to live after high school\, or in his words\, “as soon a s I could.” For more than 35 years\, Brechlin has been exploring the M aine wilderness\, taking photographs\, and gathering material for his ar ticles and books. He is the author of four Maine and New England history books based on antique postcards\, as well as field guides to Maine and Mount Desert Island. The editor of the MDI Islander\, he knows the fore sts and mountains of his beloved island like the back of his hand. His p hotographs and articles have appeared in Newsweek\, The New York Times\, Down East Magazine\, The Maine Sportsman\, and in various Appalachian M ountain Club books and magazines.\n\nFree for MHS Members\; $5 general a dmission.\nRegister today!

Her little wo men (Petite Femmes) tell the story of her life. Placed in fantasy worlds of lush greenery\, that can appear in every possible color\, les petite femmes are accompanied by at least one animal which usually depicts the male. Toucans pop their heads from tree tops and bushes. Tiny little bu gs and critters with hairlike legs appear for those taking a closer look . It is a fantasy treasure hunt of whimsical details.\n\nChabert’s oil paintings take approximately one month to complete. When she begins her creativity is in full motion. What is in her heart or on her mind becom es the subject that pours out on canvas with great detail. All is from h er imagination\, even down to the design of the clothing and folds that drape the curves of her women. She retreats to the solitude of her studi o to “design” her next composition. In the weeks that follow with br ushes that have few hairs\, she begins to develop and bring vibrant colo r to her imaginary worlds. By studying her works in order\, one could re ad the story of her life.\n\nRoux &\; Cyr International Fine Art Gall ery is truly\nUniting the World Through Art.\n\nOur Studio Exhibit\, al so opening on October 7\, is a real treat this month. Amanda Edwards bri ngs us colorful mosaics that have been tediously created with joy and lo ve. “Glass allows me to take a thousand little pieces of color and tur n them into a flowing representation of my very active imagination.” E dwards has many public mosaics\, including Boston Children’s Hospital\ , Maine’s Children’s Hospital and Ronald McDonald House in Maine and Ohio.\n\nPlease join us for these two wonderful exhibits along with wor ks of 25 artists from 10 different countries.

SEED: The Untold Story will prem iere on Friday September 16\, at the Patriot Nickelodeon Cinemas in Port land\, Maine.\n\nFollowing the success of their earlier films\, QUEEN OF THE SUN: What Are The Bees Telling Us? and THE REAL DIRT ON FARMER JOHN \, the award-winning documentary SEED: The Untold Story completes a tril ogy of films that uncovers the invisible connections between our food an d the natural world.\n\nFew things on Earth are as miraculous and vital as seeds\, worshipped and treasured since the dawn of humankind. SEED: T he Untold Story follows passionate seed keepers\, including Maine local seed-saver\, Will Bonsall\, protecting our 12\,000 year-old food legacy. In the last century\, 94% of our seed varieties have disappeared. A cad re of ten agrichemical companies (including Syngenta\, Bayer\, and Monsa nto) now controls more than two-thirds of the global seed market\, reapi ng unprecedented profits. Genetically modified crops (GMOs) engineered i n their sterile laboratories dominate farmers’ fields and dinner table s in the United States and countries around the world.\nFor eons\, cultu res around the world have believed seeds to be our birthright: a covenan t with the earth shared by all and passed down across generations. But t oday\, our seeds are increasingly private property held in corporate han ds. Farmers\, scientists\, lawyers\, and indigenous seed keepers fight a David and Goliath battle to defend the future of our food. These reluct ant heroes rekindle a lost connection to our most treasured resource and revive a culture connected to seeds.\n\nThe story of our seeds is a def ining story of our time. Caught between the runaway juggernaut of indust rial agriculture and the ecological\, cultural\, and spiritual destructi on in its wake\, seeds offer us a profound chance to restore mutual harm ony between people and planet. They are the eternal promise of an abunda nt new world waiting to be born.\n\nSEED: The Untold Story features Vand ana Shiva\, Dr. Jane Goodall\, Andrew Kimbrell\, Winona Laduke and Raj P atel. SEED is Executive Produced by Marisa Tomei\, Marc Turtletaub (Litt le Miss Sunshine) and Phil Fairclough (Grizzly Man\, Cave of Forgotten D reams). The film won the Discovery Channel ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD at Sheffi eld Doc/Fest in England\, GRAND JURY PRIZE at the Nashville Film Festiva l\, BEST IN FESTIVAL at the Princeton Environmental Film Festival\, and the GREEN PLANET AWARD at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.\ n\nTaggart\, Jon\, and their non-profit organization\, Collective Eye Fi lms\, are dedicated to building community-based social change movements around their films. SEED is launching in theaters around the country in partnership with organizations in each city. Each theatrical opening is not only a film screening\, but a community event featuring local organi zations who engage audiences to make a difference in their community.\n\ nVisit SEEDtheMovie.com for the trailer and more information.

His ope ning reception is Thursday\, October 6th from 5-8pm. His artist talk wil l be held at Greenhut on October 22nd starting at 1pm.\n\nThe Nature of Things is Joel Babb's first solo exhibition at Greenhut Galleries. Babb began painting the Maine coast in 1975\, during construction of his hous e and studio in Sumner\, Maine. After discovering Mount Desert\, he woul d visit the island in all seasons\, painting that coastline as well. But eventually\, Babb lost his zest for painting the storied coast of Maine \, feeling it had been depicted so frequently it was no longer possible for him to see it as it really is. So\, for a time\, he stopped\, though he did continue painting nature in the woods and brooks nearby.\n\nFor the past several years\, Babb has returned to Acadia\, finding new inspi ration in the epic confrontation of sea\, granite\, pine\, and clouds. H e states\, "It is as if the Maine woods were being ground away to the fo undations by this meeting with the sea. When the water is calm\, the sho reline is still evocative of storms of unimaginable scale. I love the ar chitectonic structure of the rocks\, and the opposing movement of the wa ter as if resentful of the rigidity\, the sway of light and atmosphere o ver everything."\n\n"The Lucretian vision of eternal forces and elements interacting comes to life for me in Mount Desert\, in the geology\, the weather\, and especially the action of the sea with the land. I've visi ted Acadia the day after a hurricane passed through and climbed Cadillac Mountain the day after an ice storm in February. Once on a foggy mornin g\, I startled a deer herd on Ocean Drive\, and when I stopped at my spo t to continue a painting\, long spider webs across the road told me I wa s the first to pass that way. No matter how many visit Acadia\, nature i s still the impressive narrative."\n\nBabb is equally known for his urba n views. In his book\, Nature &\; Culture: The Art of Joel Babb\, Car l Little writes\, "He divides his time between country and city\, contin uing to explore both places even as he builds on his repertoire of subje cts. . . .For Babb\, realism represents a philosophy of art. As such\, h e says\, the realist painter is constantly discovering 'new understandin gs new realizations' of the mysteries of existence. 'Realism as a philos ophy\,' he muses 'suggests that a small corner of the universe\, when ri ghtly observed\, may open up universal laws in action.' A modern day Tho reau."\n\nJoel Babb is a graduate of Princeton and the Boston Museum Sch ool\, where he taught for several years. He has also taught at Tufts and Harvard universities.\nHis paintings have been exhibited in many museum s and galleries throughout the Northeast and are in numerous prestigious corporate collections and in several museums\, including the Fogg Museu m of Harvard University and the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln\, MA.

In her ethereal black and w hite photographs\, Elizabeth uses landscape imagery including open space s\, fleeting\, tranquil moments\, and broken rays of light\, as not a do cumentation of place but rather a vehicle to transport the viewer and in duce particular states of mind. Howard will exhibit a new body of work t hat replicates elements of paintings by Kazimir Malevich\, Russian artis t known for founding the Suprematist movement about 100 years ago\, a mo vement that championed abstraction and pure artistic feeling over repres entation. As with Malevich’s work\, the pieces are primarily black and white geometric abstractions but in reinterpreting these pieces Howard incorporates found material including records\, record covers\, speaker grill cloth and carpet padding.

The show will be up from November 3rd to the 26th.\n\nMarga ret Lawrence finds inspiration in images gathered from a variety of sour ces. Nature\, personal experience\, and a reflective\, internalized resp onse to her physical environment inform her tranquil and textured dreams capes\, which seem to exist at the horizon between the personal and the universal.\n\nIn Lawrence's own words\,"My paintings are developed by re moving paint as much as by applying it. Through this layering\, the give and take of paint\, an image that was inspired by a specific place tran sforms into a sense of place." This approach yields a rich and varied su rface with deceptively complex color and texture. Both the effect achiev ed and Lawrence's process itself are evocative of dream formation\, wher ein specific personal memories undergo a similar cycle of abrasion and a ccretion before they wash up in our dreams. Stripped of literal meaning but enriched with latent content\, they exist in the symbolic realm\, ju st beyond the grasp of language\, where boundaries soften and binaries d issolve....\n\nAbout the new work:\n"These recent paintings are a furthe r exploration of the interplay between water\, land and sky. Grounded in the constancy of the daily cycles of the sun and tide\, I am drawn to c olors and textures at various times of day or year that tap a sense of w onder."\n\nAfter a nursing career\, Lawrence decided to pursue a long-ha rbored interest in art\, eventually earning a BFA at Maine College of Ar t. In 2015\, she was commissioned to create four large paintings for the Augusta Judicial Center's permanent collection. In recent years she has participated in an artist residency at the International School of Pain ting and Drawing and Sculpture in Umbria\, Italy. Her work is in many pr ivate and corporate collections in Canada\, Great Britain\, and througho ut the U.S. Margaret has been represented by Greenhut since 1997.\n\nGre enhut Galleries\n146 Middle Street\nPortland\, Maine 04101\ninfo@greenhu tgalleries.com\n207-772-2693 URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:222a1b79-ca79-47f2-8b88-5de7b6af68bb STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161103 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Conversation with USM Visting Artist Gina Adams DESCRIPTION:Broken Treaty Quilts: an Activist Approach to Art\n\nJoin us for a conversation with the artist at the sight of her exhibition on vi ew until December 9th.\n\nGina Adams’ cross-media\, hybrid artwork is exhibited extensively throughout the US and Europe and resides in many p ublic and private collections. The internationally renowned art critic L ucy Lippard wrote in her introduction for the debut of this quilt series at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art: “Although she is half Euro- American\, Gina Adams’ art is primarily inspired by and deeply committ ed to the memory of her White Earth Ojibwa grandfather. The Native North American history of forced assimilation\, along with the intimate proce ss of making\, drives her project of making quilts excerpting broken tre aties from each of the US states.” This 2015 exhibition gave Adams’ Broken Treaty Quilts prominent recognition in the contemporary art world . Three of the four quilts on display at USM are new. One references a t reaty between the Passamaquoddy and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts\, addressing the region now known as the State of Maine.

Jenna Lotti is a pop soul singer-songwriter from Boston\, MA. Originally writing poetry for self-medication\, Lotti began penning open book lyrics at the age of 15. Singing only to herself and close friends eventually she was convinced to attend a local open mic in Boston. After nervously singing an origina l song to an iPod recording\, she was met with very positive response fr om the small crowd which led to further musical experimentation.\n\nOver the next few years she incessantly wrote tunes\, learned to play the gu itar and started recording YouTube videos (in her bathroom). Drawing fro m her childhood musical influences in pop\, blues\, soul and big band Lo tti’s music is a soulful distillation that flirts with both her stirri ng and sweet sides. After countless open mic’s and years on YouTube sh e started booking small shows around Boston.\n\nAs her shows grew larger \, so did her band and her collection of original songs. In 2013 she cre ated a successful kick-starter campaign which led to the creation of her debut album “Tunnel Vision”. The 9 song LP propelled her career int o the next stage showcasing her songwriting and musical capabilities. Tu nes such as “Red Line Love” (w/ accompanying music video)\, “Stran gers” and “Medicine” drew wide acclaim by fans and local media.\n\ n“From the opening riff to the closing stab\, the new EP “Bad Habits ” from Jenna Lotti delivers. The Boston singer/songwriter showcases an evolving maturity in both songwriting and vocals on her second release\ , and the production is tight throughout. From fun\, blues-tinged sass t o serious harmonies – reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles – these 5 songs\, laced with memorable hooks\, serve as a marker Jenna is throwing down to the world: “I am here. You must listen.” And those who do\, are in for a treat.” -Matt Reid MIX 104.1\n\n“It’s exciti ng when a young and gifted singer chooses to record a single that pays t ribute to our blues and jazz heritage\, yet could still sound at home on a pop radio playlist. Lotti unloosens her soul in “Bad Habits” rath er than relying on the studio gimmicks that numb so much of today’s ch art-topping music.” – Carter Alan WZLX\n\nJenna received the nod for Limelight Magazine’s 2015 ‘Female Vocalist of the Year’ and was n ominated for “Female Performer of the Year” in 2016 by The New Engla nd Music Awards.This recognition was punctuated by invitations to open f or national acts such as Hunter Hayes and Buddy Guy. Lotti is getting re ady to release her sophomore EP this October.\n\nYou can watch Jenna’s newest video “Drive” on her Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com /watch?v=FQBrnljjSbU\n\nFor more on Jenna Lotti and her music visit her site http://www.jennalotti.com/ URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:82509f95-f7af-40a2-a4e7-d1fad1259ee5 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20161113 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Intro to Oil Painting DESCRIPTION:Open registration: Now until November 1.\n\nIntro to Oil Pai nting Class: Class starts Tuesday November 1 from 5:30-8:30.

Join us for a sex fueled creative evening of performance by Kelly Nesbitt followed by a panel discussion and Q&\;A on the topic of sexuality led by 'SEX OF SELF' sex educator s Dana Fadel and Kellie Ryan. Ultimately\, the best activism around sexu ality may be to offer a space that makes all experiences normal and acce ptable and gives them a voice.\n\nPerformance artist Kelly Nesbitt retur ns to Portland and will kick off the evening with her new comedic charac ter Dr. Tallulah\, running 20 minutes in length. She will also join in o n the closing panel discussion and Q&\;A.\n\nDr. Tallulah is a fiery Shamanic Healer\, Sexual Activist\, Vision Quest Guide\, Intuitive\, Zen Cosmetologist\, Motivational Speaker\, Cognitive Revolutionary\, Dyslex ia Advocate\, Om Coach and recent transplant from Ireland to the U.S.A. Imagine a metaphysical cross between Archie Bunker\, Dr Ruth\, Carol Bur nett\, Shirley Valentine\, Edith Bouvier Beale\, and Maria Bamford on st eroids with a wee bit of Viagra and you're closer to understanding who D r Tallulah is.\n\nDr Tallulah's new piece is hysterical\, totally origin al\, and tells her personal story of a spiritual awakening\, a journey t hrough time\, from the womb\, to a mid-life revelation. There's self dis covery\, cosmic sexology\, rekindling of her dreams\, unexpected love\, and the unveiling of her hearts deepest desires. This story follows a he ro's journey\, taps into the zeitgeist of a New Age baby boomer generati on\, and walks the line between satire and the performer's (Nesbitt's) o wn vulnerability in her quest for love\, intimacy\, fear of being alone\ , and dying alone. It's semi-autobiographical\, a combination of pratfal l and seriousness\, uses pathos and audience participation as Dr Tallula h has been known to give Zen therapeutic haircuts to unsuspecting audien ce members. It has been described at brilliant\, poignant\, grotesque\, hilarious\, sexy hot\, poetic\, imaginative\, absurd\, and genius. She w on't just make you laugh\, she'll make to sigh\, and possibly cry.\n\nSE X OF SELF is comprised of two local sex educators Dana Fadel &\; Kell ie Ryan who lead workshops and retreats that help create community that supports each other in information\, guidance\, care\, and acceptance ar ound sexuality. They will close out the evening with a panel discussion on the subject of sexuality\, share some of the work they do\, close wit h a Q&\;A. Dr Tallulah will join in on the panel discussion too. That 's three sexual activists taking the stage!\n\n*Photo of Dr. Tallulah in the red sweater credit goes to Lloyd Lemmermann\n\n*Photo of Dana Fadel and Kellie Ryan credit goes to Kelly Nesbitt\n\nQuestions please contac t: Kelly Nesbitt\n\nTHANK YOU!!!

Books will be available for sale and signing at the event by She rmans Bookstore.\n\nFreedom Over Me brings to life eleven slaves Bryan f irst encountered in an 1828 slave document he bought at a local Maine au ction over a decade ago. The original bill of sale listed the eleven ind ividuals only by name and price—along with other goods from a southern estate—livestock\, household goods\, farming equipment. With brush an d pen\, Bryan assigned the people faces\, histories\, skills\, talents\, relationships\, hopes and dreams. He described the effort of creating t heir lives as a “mind\, heart and soul project.” As he drew their po rtraits and wrote their stories in prose\, he thought of himself\, “a black man\, reading\, writing\, painting freely\,” all the time aware that\, “had I been born under slavery…” He noted that a slave “c aught in these acts would have been brutally beaten\, even to the extrem e of cutting off the slave’s hands.” When the anguish of these thoug hts would overcome him\, Bryan would go out into the garden and paint th e hollyhocks and dahlias to relax.\n\n“An impressive coalition of grou ps came together to organize this Portland launch for Freedom Over Me\, notes Daniel Minter\, one of the event organizers. Minter\, also an a rtist and children’s book illustrator who considers Ashley Bryan to be a significant mentor and role model\, teaches at the Maine College of A rt (MECA). He is a founding board member of the Illustration Institute a nd serves on the Board of the Ashley Bryan Center. The Ashley Bryan Cent er\, along with the Illustration Institute\, MECA\, the Portland Public Library\, the Abyssinian Meeting House\, First Book and Shermans Booksto re are all collaborating partners in the event. The Illustration Institu te’s exhibition\, Picture This: The Art and Workings of the Illustrati on Institute will be on view in the library’s Lewis Gallery (through D ecember 17). The exhibition shares the ideas\, process\, craft and art o f seventeen local and national professional illustrators\, including Ash ley Bryan.\n\nThe November 5th Portland event is scheduled just two days after the prestigious Kirkus award will be announced in Austin\, Texas. Freedom Over Me is one of six nominees in the Kirkus Young Readers Lite rature category\, selected from over five hundred candidates. Bryan has won numerous awards for his works in children’s literature in the past \, including a Coretta Scott King—Virginia Hamilton Award\, and a Laur a Ingalls Wilder Award—both for Lifetime Achievement. He received an h onorary award at MECA in 2014 in acknowledgement of his lifetime achieve ments in the arts.\n\nFor more information about the event\, call 207.87 1.1700 x723\nFor more information about Ashley Bryan\, please go to: htt ps://ashleybryancenter.org/.

And what if one of our memories is an event shared by an enti re society—does that change our relationship to it? 9/11 has become a touchstone moment for our culture generally and for those individuals wh o were alive at the time. After 15 years of talking about it\, our perce ptions and understanding of that day have been shaped by the discourse w ith our friends and colleagues\, in our classrooms\, and in the media— whether we’re aware of it or not. In this year’s Dorothy Schwartz Fo rum\, we will explore the formation of collective memory\, using 9/11 as a case study for how a society remembers.

With t he multi year projects No Place\, The Empathics\, and ChimaTEK\, Woolfal k has created the world of the Empathics\, a fictional race of women who are able to alter their genetic make-up and fuse with plants. With each body of work\, Woolfalk continues to build the narrative of these women 's lives\, and questions the utopian possibilities of cultural hybridity .\n\nHer work considers the idea that symbolic and ideological systems c an be activated and re-imagined through collaboration\, imaginative play and masquerade. To effect this re-imagining objects\, bodies\, and land scapes are constructed to immerse us in the logic of another place. In m any ways Wolfalk’s works become the repository of the dreams and ideas of the many people who participate in producing and imagining the conto urs of the works. In the tradition of the fable or folk story\, Wolfalk maps the desires and ideas of people to create narratives that attempt t o be relevant to a contemporary audience.

In her ethereal black and w hite photographs\, Elizabeth uses landscape imagery including open space s\, fleeting\, tranquil moments\, and broken rays of light\, as not a do cumentation of place but rather a vehicle to transport the viewer and in duce particular states of mind. Howard will exhibit a new body of work t hat replicates elements of paintings by Kazimir Malevich\, Russian artis t known for founding the Suprematist movement about 100 years ago\, a mo vement that championed abstraction and pure artistic feeling over repres entation. As with Malevich’s work\, the pieces are primarily black and white geometric abstractions but in reinterpreting these pieces Howard incorporates found material including records\, record covers\, speaker grill cloth and carpet padding. Though working in different mediums and employing diverse visual language\, Elizabeth and Howard both seek to ad dress themes of physical versus perceived reality through these bodies o f work. This will be the first time the couple\, both artists and educat ors in Midcoast Maine\, have exhibited their work together.

Briechle makes black-and-white photographs\, often using a large format camera and wet plate collodion process. Turning to the family\, friends\, and moments closest to him for subject matter\, B riechle does not shy away from dark or disconcerting imagery. Without ju dgment\, he photographs the old and the young\, the run-down and the bea utiful\, capturing an unfiltered and poignant reality. Of the medium\, B riechle has said\, "photography has the power to show the broken pieces\ , made whole again\, for a moment.” Within the same subject matter\, G ary also experiments with drawing. His drawings capture the same essence and spirit as his photography\, creating a cohesive body of work that i s interesting to any viewer.

His work Kalinda is set in Hai tian Creole. Kalinda in the composer’s own words represent this concep t: “Humans can make wonders\; but in reality\, everything comes from t he Creator.” Compositionally\, the text is one that is celebratory. Th e invitation is made to dance to the sound of the drum and the drum is e ssential for dancing and ultimately for celebration. This a capella piec e captures percussive as well as melodic elements of Kalinda.\n\nAl Hani sim is a special insertion into the Prayer of Thanksgiving\, found in th e daily and Sabbath services. It is added on the holidays of Chanukah an d Purim to express the national gratitude of the Jewish People to G-d fo r performing miracles at key points in their history and allowed them to survive. (by Judith Clurman need to seek permission)\n\nDomine\, Ad Adj uvandume Festina translated Lord\, My God Assist Me Now was composed by Padre Giovanni Battista Martini of the Franciscan order.

Laure l Daunis-Allen‘s lives in New Jersey and paints the Maine coast. Patri cia Daunis-Dunning lives in Maine and designs jewelry.\n\nLaurel’s pai ntings evoke an Asian influence in their composition inspired by the sim plicity of Japanese Sumi-e brush work.

A few notes on composition and color help fix the image in my mind. Later\, when I start a painting I get out the photo and the notes and compare them to my memory. The image\, my memory\, the photo\ , my notes--these become overlapping layers in the painting. The picture ages and time adds another layer. And perhaps viewers will add their ow n perspective to the piece. I live and work in Portland\, ME\, and many of my paintings are of the city\, but ideas for pictures come from where ver I happen to be at the time: Chicago\, New Orleans\, San Juan\, Antig ua\, Tarragona\, and Barcelona have all been subjects for my work.\nThan ks for looking". -Chris URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:d51d74ae-c07b-4938-a3a8-7845130e329b STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170106 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Celeste Roberge Drawing with Seaweed Gallery Reception DESCRIPTION:Drawing with Seaweed presents a variety of Celeste Roberge's newest explorations with seaweed on paper\, ranging from mixed media co mpositions incorporating seaweed\, fabric and photographs to cyanotype i mpressions of collected seaweed.

Celeste became interested in seaweed in 2008 while walking along Hirtle’s Beach on the south shore of Nova Sc otia. Attracted to the intricacy of patterns and variety of colors\, Cel este began making sculptures of seaweed boats in wax\, bronze\, cast iro n and brass\, and in the seaweed itself. She studied the science of seaw eed further\, learning to identify various types\, and soon began pushin g wet seaweed around on wet paper. She says\, "the more I manipulated th e seaweed\, the more I saw relationships with similar concerns in earlie r art works and analogies to design and technology in fabrics and metals . I was smitten."\n\nCeleste Roberge was born in Biddeford\, Maine. She lives and works in South Portland. She is Professor Emerita\, College of the Arts\, University of Florida where she was Head of Sculpture in the School of Art + Art History for twenty-two years. She received her MFA degree from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design\, BFA from the Mai ne College of Art\, and BA in Sociology from the University of Maine.

All lectures in this series are hosted in Osher Hall and are open to the public at no charge. Seating is limited.\n\nAs a wo man of Lakota and European ancestry\, White Hawk was raised among Native American communities within urban landscapes. Her work reflects these c ross-cultural experiences through the combination of modern abstract pai nting and traditional Lakota art forms. Some works are executed strictly in paint\; others incorporate beads\, porcupine quills\, ledger paper\, brass sequins and other materials representing a Lakota aesthetic. Whit e Hawk strives to create honest\, inclusive compositions that acknowledg e all parts of her history\, Native and non-Native\, urban and reservati on\, grassroots and academia. These works are intended to increase expos ure and inclusion of Native American contributions and thought within co ntemporary arts. The complexity of visual and conceptual references enco urage conversations which in turn acknowledge the diversity of Native ex periences\, break down misconceptions\, generalizations\, and reinforce the importance of a Native voice within contemporary arts.

This informal scientific p resentation is intended to enhance Celeste Roberge's "Drawing with Seawe ed" exhibition\, currently on view. Jessica will introduce the audience to the algae\, specifically Maine's marine macroalgae. The natural histo ry as well as the uses of algae\, both historically and currently\, will be explored.\n\nJessica (Jessie) Muhlin grew up in the suburbs of New Y ork City and became intrigued with marine algae at the age of 14\, when she participated in an Acadia Institute of Oceanography’s summer progr am. She graduated with a B.A. in Biology from Boston University\, where she was a student in the BU Marine Program. She had the privilege of spe nding her junior year of college at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole\, MA and the BU Tropical Ecology Program in Ecuador\, South A merica. All the while\, Jessie maintained an interest in psychology (the study of algae). Upon graduating BU\, Jessie attended the University of Maine\, Orono\, and pursued a Ph.D. in the laboratory of Dr. Susan Braw ley. Jessie’s dissertation focused on the reproductive ecology and pop ulation genetics of a dominant marine macrophyte\, Fucus vesiculosus. Je ssie has developed a deep commitment to public outreach and routinely pa rticipates in outreach programs through the National Park Service\, Main e Sea Grant\, the Northeast Algal Society\, and the Phycological Society of America. After completing her degree at UMaine\, Jessie found her id eal position at Maine Maritime Academy\, teaching in the Corning School of Ocean Studies. You can often find her feeding her students an assortm ent of edible sea vegetables and encouraging everyone to understand and appreciate the algae.

Tell me where it hurts?\n\nF: It hurts when t he corners are not tended too. I like the dancing feet and the crashing bodies on the floor. Sometimes I even feel their skin\, the bony elbows and kneecaps. It hurts in the middle\, in my stomach\, when they leave. In my throat too\, when I know there is no way I could ever convince the m to stay. I know one of them will be back in the morning\, with light a nd fast waltz of the painting dance. I look for it every time the switch is flipped on.\n\nF: Does it hurt to never be touched? Only occasionall y looked at?\n\nC: No. The touch of light and sound between the blinks a re enough.

However\, we are in the midst of a global paradigm shift in how we v iew and treat the spectrum of problematic substance use that holds great promise for developing more effective solutions. We are moving from mor al\, criminal and unitary disease models to viewing substance use as a h ealth issue and human rights issue that varies on multiple psychobiosoci al dimensions in ways that are unique to each person.

The Beacon served as the setting for Maniscalco t o deliver his unique brand of physical and quick-witted observational co medy in an hour of highly anticipated skepticism\, all while asking WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? The premiere proved to be a major win for the SHOWTIM E® network. SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO: WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? was the "Most Watched" Comedy/Variety special of 2016\, ranking #1 with total viewers.

Mellon Professor of A rt\, Carnegie Mellon University\; UNLOADED is a multimedia group show th at explores historical and social issues surrounding the availability\, use\, and impact of guns in our culture. It includes works by: Lauren F. Adams\, Nina Berman\, Joshua Bienko\, Casey Li Brander\, Anthony Cervin o\, Mel Chin\, Cathy Colman\, Dadpranks\, James Duesing\, Jessica Fenlon \, Vanessa German\, Jinshan\, Andrew Ellis Johnson\, Jennifer Nagle Myer s\, Adrian Piper\, Don Porcella\, Devan Shimoyama\, Susanne Slavick\, Re nee Stout and Stephanie Syjuco.\n\nUNLOADED presents a number of perspec tives on the image and impact of guns in contemporary culture\, though n one endorse them as a means to an end. Works by 19 artists touch upon a host of issues surrounding access to and use of firearms\, across demogr aphic categories. They examine and represent the role that guns continue to play in our national mythologies\, suicide rates\, individual and ma ss murder\, domestic violence\, and the militarization of civilian life. \n\nGun ownership and control is a divisive topic in this country. The a rtists in UNLOADED visualize the power of the gun as icon and instrument \, the damage it can do and how weapons might be rejected\, broken or si lenced. Some show the power that guns wield in our daily realities and p ersonal fantasies. Others mourn and resist that power\, doing everything they can to take it away\, believing there are better ways to resolve c onflicts\, ensure safety and keep the peace.\nUNLOADED is touring to ten venues across the country.\n\nUNLOADED is on view in the ICA at MECA th rough April 14\, Gallery hours: Wed–Sun\, 11:00am–5:00pm\, Thurs\, 1 1:00am–7:00pm\, Friday\, 11:00am–5:00pm\, (FFAW until 8:00pm)\n\nIma ge: Mel Chin\, ‘Cross for the Unforgiven: 10th Anniversary Multiple’ (2012) URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:93368572-5aed-4fb8-a8e9-98a34b64a825 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170406 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Latin dance basics: Cuban Salsa &\; Kizomba DESCRIPTION:Class will introduce the basics and fundamentals of Cuban Sa lsa and Kizomba.

As they return home injured in servic e to our country\, they struggle during this challenging transition. Due to the many failures in the systems set up to help them\, many will hav e lengthy waits for the benefits they have rightly earned. The nature of their injuries makes it almost impossible for them to navigate these sy stems on their own. Often\, they are unable to work\, as the bills pile up\, and they lose the fight to provide for themselves and their familie s. Wounded Heroes Program of Maine is an all-volunteer team and register ed non-profit organization\, established to be a safety net for them as they transition to civilian life.\n\nThe 3rd annual Wounded Veterans Gal a &\; Auction is being held to help support our Maine veterans throug h this program. There will be hors d'oeuvres\, a cash bar\, silent and l ive auctions and military presentations. There will only be 300 tickets sold for this event so please don't delay in purchasing yours today! If you are unable to attend this event\, but would still like to support ou r program\, we encourage you to visit our website (www.woundedheroesmain e.org) to learn more about what we do. A donation of any amount would be greatly appreciated by our Maine veterans!

My work and my life are paths crossing others\, connecting and diverging\, fashioning patterns of people and ch oices and ideas and feelings. It’s all in the mix.\n\nIt’s difficult to categorize my work as a whole. I usually work through ideas in serie s of related pieces\, yet some stand alone. Sometimes ideas are set asid e\, only to be picked up years later.\n\nI choose materials to express m y thoughts\, and the materials in turn suggest more ideas. My art lives not just in the final product\, but in its making\, and in its relation to other work.\n\nI enjoy the freedom to explore where my ideas lead. I want to share the wonder I find.

But he soon came to realize that to get the whole story\, he had to go Over There\, too. So he did\, and discovered that w hile most Americans regard that war as dead and gone\, to the French\, w ho still live among its ruins and memories\, it remains very much alive. \n\nYears later\, with the centennial of the war only magnifying this pa radox\, Rubin decided to go back Over There to see if he could\, at last \, resolve it. For months he followed the trail of the American Expediti onary Forces on the Western Front\, finding trenches\, tunnels\, bunkers \, century-old graffiti and ubiquitous artifacts. But he also found an a biding fondness for America and Americans\, and a colorful corps of loca l after-hours historians and archeologists who tirelessly explore these sites and preserve the memories they embody while patiently waiting for Americans to return and reclaim their own history and heritage. None of whom seemed to mind that his French needed work.\n\nBased on his wildly popular New York Times series\, Back Over There is a timely journey\, in turns reverent and iconoclastic but always fascinating\, through a plac e where the past and present are never really separated.\n\nJoin us at t he Maine Historical Society to hear these tales and discoveries from Rub in himself!\n\nFree for MHS members\; $8 general admission.

The dog\, in more competitive events\, is to run i n front of the person at all times\, though in amateur gatherings except ions are made! It is a pulling sport for some\, with active vigorous par ticipation from the human and for others it is a stroll with man’s bes t friend by their side. The beauty is the health benefit for both partic ipants on an outside trail setting.\n\nIn addition to the run\, there we are anticipating be pet activities\, live music\, pet and food vendors as well as photography.

Described as "about as much fun as you can have with your pants on" (Dan Wolovick\, Two Way Monologues)\, this 6-piece powerhouse melds Bohemian Klezmer Punk with pop sensibilities into an eminently danceable party. The diversity of mu sicians that make up Bella's Bartok\, combined with their boundless ener gy on stage\, has been known to break a dancefloor\, or two (or three\, but who's counting?). Their sound moves way beyond labels\, pushing the envelope towards the darker side of Eastern European music\, referencing vaudeville and 20th century eclecticism.\n\nThe Bella's Bartok line-up includes: Asher Putnam (Vocals and all-around entertainer)\, Chris "Fanc y" Kerrigan (Guitar\, Clarinet\, Vocals and physicist!?!)\, Dan Niederha user (Bass and Vocals)\, Amory Drennan (Trombone/Banjo and Vocals)\, Cri sco (Drums/Percussion and Trumpet) and Gershon Rosen (trumpet). The band has shared the stage with musicians and acts such as Rubblebucket\, Red Baraat\, The Indigo Girls\, Larry &\; His Flask\, The Suitcase Junke t\, Parsonsfield\, And the Kids\, Kanye\, Rough Francis\, Beau Sasser’ s Escape Plan\, West End Blend\, Adam Ezra Group\, Meat Puppets\, World Inferno/Friendship Society\, Rupa &\; the April Fishes\, Arc Iris\, a nd many more.\n\nWith multiple awards under their belts\, including The Valley Advocate's Best Band in the Valley 2014 and The Deli Magazine's B est of New England (twice!)\, this eclectic group of guys have carefully crafted a sound that is part strange and creepy\, part pop gold. With a n aura of theatricality\, Bella's Bartok shows not only entertain\, but they invite you to partake in the wild party they are having on stage\, to involve yourself in the spectacle. Quite simply put- this is the band you should never miss\, ever.\n\nBand Website: http://www.bellasbartok. com/ URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:83eb6498-396e-466a-be4a-e2ab2fdc2e78 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170601 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Rock Climbing DESCRIPTION:Test your skills at the newly renovated Rock Climbing cenete r at Rock Climbing\, Inc!

His art involves prim arily painting and sculpture. He earned an MFA from The City University of New York and for many years was the spiritual leader of the Aroostook Hebrew Community in Presque Isle. The themes of his art revolve around questions about spirituality\, beauty\, and the dilemmas of being human. \n\nAccording to Raphael\, "The work you see at this exhibit was all cre ated in the two years since my beloved wife Nilda\, of blessed memory\, passed away. Grief's magnitude and the capacity to sustain myself throug h the torrents of grief are central themes in this exhibit. The powerful intensity of my grieving was devastating to my capacity to withstand wa ve after wave of intense weeping. Only through the amazing grace of God was I able to endure the unending storm of grief. In my new awareness of God's grace\, I find myself pursuing God. 'God\, where are you?' I ask. It is my hope that in viewing this exhibit\, you may see my quest to gr ow nearer to God\, to love God\, to cherish God's compassion\, and to be blessed in the capacity to search."\n\nThis exhibit will run from May 2 1 - June 21.

For over a centu ry -- from the turn of the 20th century to the 21st century of today -- art photography has included a range of approaches. From detailed\, shar p focus images in black and white to softly focused pictures in muted co lor\, modern photographers have produced a wealth of images that convey mood\, artful expression\, and impressionistic views of our surroundings – both rural and industrial. The exhibition will highlight work by co ntemporary\, Maine-based photographers Judy Glickman Lauder\, Koichiro K urita\, Amy Parrish\, Shoshannah White\, and David Wolfe\, following in Libby’s footsteps.

Her intention\, through the reiteration of a single image\, is to ech o the inherent rhythms of the natural world––– time in particular ––not one moment in time as a single photograph captures\; instead \, Hauser elects to express the nonlinear way in which we recall time\, its relentless repetition and endless variation. By reducing her painti ngs into an abundance of sequenced\, simplified and toned photographs\, a distillation occurs that brings forth an abstraction and a detailed tr uth of reality.\n\nThe work in this exhibition has been funded in part b y a grant from the Maine Arts Commission\, an independent state agency s upported by the National Endowment for the Arts.

In 1841\, MCMA m embers marched through the streets of downtown Portland to demonstrate t heir skills and support for their individual trades\, as well as for cra ftspeople struggling to earn a supporting wage in the changing economy. Creative Maine shares the stories of past individuals who led the MCMA\, who were skilled in their crafts\, and who created successful industrie s for Maine. Each MCMA trade banner—exquisitely preserved and ready fo r display—is shown in the exhibition alongside the story of a craftspe rson in that specific trade. Also displayed are modern-day examples of t hose same trades.\n\nAs importantly\, this exhibition celebrates Maine's cultural community. In August 2010\, 16 Maine museums\, historical orga nizations\, and their supporters came together in an unprecedented colla boration to save this important collection of Maine artifacts when they went on auction and were at risk of being sold\, split up\, and leaving Maine. The effort was led by Maine Historical Society and included Portl and Museum of Art\, Maine State Museum\, Maine Maritime Museum\, Bates C ollege Museum of Art\, Bowdoin College Museum of Art\, and Colby College Museum of Art.

Earthquakes. You need to worry about them only if you're in San Francisco\, right? Wrong . We have been making enormous changes to subterranean America\, and Mot her Earth\, as always\, has been making some of her own. The consequence s for our real estate\, our civil engineering\, and our communities will be huge because they will include earthquakes most of us do not expect and cannot imagine -- at least not without reading QUAKELAND. Kathryn Mi les descends into mines in the Northwest\, dissects Mississippi levee en gineering studies\, uncovers the horrific risks of an earthquake in the Northeast\, and interviews the seismologists\, structural engineers\, an d emergency managers around the country who are addressing this ground s haking threat. As Miles relates\, the era of human-induced earthquakes b egan in 1962 in Colorado after millions of gallons of chemical-weapon wa ste was pumped underground in the Rockies. More than 1\,500 quakes over the following seven years resulted. The Department of Energy plans to du mp spent nuclear rods in the same way and evidence of fracking's seismol ogical impact continues to mount. Humans\, as well as fault lines\, buil t our "quakeland." Kathryn Miles' tour of our land is as fascinating and frightening as it is irresistibly compelling.

Our film is about Welle s Crowther\, a 9/11 hero. Welles was tragically killed in the lobby of t he South Tower when it collapsed. He stayed to help others and his heroi cs only became known 8 months after the tragedy due to an ordinary objec t … a red bandana. The film re-traces the unique manner in which his h eroics became known\, as well as his last inspirational hour (his finest hour) saving others from the upper reaches of the South Tower. The film \, then\, depicts Welles’ folklore stature throughout the United State s including songs\, artwork and babies that have been named in his honor . This legacy section leads up to the revelation of a remarkable secret about Welles that provides the perfect\, inspirational ending.

The openi ng reception is scheduled for Thursday\, October 5th from 5-7pm. The sho w will be up from October 5-28.\n\nArtist talk by Higgins: Oct. 14 begin ning at 1pm\nArtist talk by Lloyd: Oct. 21 beginning at 1pm\n\nJ. THOMAS R. HIGGINS\nGrowing up in Bucks County\, Pennsylvania\, my earliest exp osure to art was the work of Edward Redfield\, Daniel Garber and related Pennsylvania Impressionists. Later\, as a college student\, my principa l influences were Van Gogh\, Kokoschka\, Abstract Expressionists and oth er painters with a romantic vision. For more than four decades I have re sponded to the Maine landscape with passion and a personal viewpoint.\n\ nAs a painter\, what I find most interesting is the dialogue between per ception and the act of painting\, how a gesture of paint can become the equivalent of what is observed and subjectively transformed. Painting fo r me is an active and intuitive process of participating in natural spac es. By working on site through direct sensory experience\, I hope to ach ieve a dynamic\, animated\, and painterly response to a subject that is often untamed and in flux. Although the works evolve perceptually\, they are not solely recordings of objective information\, but are emotional and expressive performances influenced by accumulated memories. Each pai nting becomes an adventure offering the opportunity to get lost in a sub ject that is visually complex and challenging. I simply love to push pai nt around until reasonably satisfied that all of the elements have meshe d into an essential\, emotive image.\n\nThis exhibition consists of pain tings produced during a residency at Maine Farmland Trust’s Joseph A. Fiore Art Center in Jefferson\, Maine during the summer of 2016. The res idency provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in the rustic landscape from North Whitefield to Nobleboro\, Maine---a subject matter to which I related unabashedly and enthusiastically.\n\nNEIL WELLIVER\nT his month Greenhut is also thrilled to announce its first exhibition of works by Neil Welliver. Welliver’s huge oil paintings of the Maine lan dscape are considered by art critic Robert Hughes to be “among the str ongest images in modern American art.” While this exhibition includes oil paintings\, it is primarily designed to celebrate the artists’ tal ents as a printmaker. The ten selected prints showcase Welliver’s use of the following media in creating an intuitive yet precise vision of th e wild natural world: etching (using the difficult\, laborious aquatint process) and woodblock (created in the intricate\, exacting and time int ensive Japanese tradition of ukiyo-e).\n\nAs former US poet laureate Rob ert Strand notes: “The world of the prints seems more vulnerable than that of the paintings. In fact\, it seems oddly\, radically poised for d issolution. Subjects are singled out\, regarded\, and given\, finally\, a painstaking mortal presence\, reminding us that what we see will come to an end and that nothing in nature will last. It is on this that their lyric character depends\, this terrible\, gratuitous knowledge of limit ation by which we make things matter.”\n\nNeil Welliver was born in Pe nnsylvania in 1929 and lived in Maine for 35 years prior to his death in 2005. He received his BFA from Philadelphia Museum\, College of Art and his MFA from Yale School of Art. He taught at Yale and the University o f Pennsylvania\, where he served as chairman the Graduate School of Fine Art from 1966 to 1989. Welliver’s works are included in many major mu seum collections\, including Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Museum of Mode rn Art\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Scu lpture Garden\, as well private collections worldwide.\n\nGEORGE LLOYD\n This month our side gallery show will feature works by George Lloyd. The se paintings were made in the 80s and 90s\, following the artist’s mov e to Maine from the San Francisco Bay Area\, where he had spent the prev ious 13 years as both painter and teacher.\n\nThe 8 works included in th e present exhibit were selected in part on the basis of their Maine-cent ric palette. As poet and critic W.S. DiPiero puts it: “George Lloyd ha s lived west and east\, and different weathers coexist in his work to st rong\, sometimes disturbing effect\, especially in the paintings he has made while living in Maine. While haunted by Bay Area light\, his work h as also been infused with New England’s brutally changeful weather." L loyd’s paintings are marked by their exuberant vitality\, and a brand of sensuality that incorporates both masterful brushwork and an extraord inary command of color.\n\nGeorge Lloyd received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and his MFA from Yale School of Art. In 1969\, h e moved to Berkeley to teach at the University of California.

My work is inspired by travel and researc h in varied landscapes- lately the American West\, sailing the Eastern S eaboard\, and the Norwegian Arctic. I reflect on the history and importa nce of discovery\, voyaging\, and striking out into the unknown. The foc used endurance of flora and fauna to flourish in harsh climates\, and li kewise\, the endurance of hardy and curious explorers traversing such la nds\, inspires a true willfulness of existence which compels the subject of my work.\n\nMy projects often involve making a device or situation t o communicate with the natural landscape\, or a historical site or story – something I consider raw\, true\, and amazing\, which demands my at tention and response. I make sculptural instruments and devices which fu nction either actually\, or metaphorically. Their meticulous craftsmansh ip lends them authority as functional objects\, but upon inspection may seem quite absurd\, fetishistic\, alchemical\, or otherwise uncanny.

Even if it is only a paper heart we find in an old suitcase.”\n\nMy Adventures with God is a series of short stories exploring the idea that most people’s li ves seem to fit into the template of the Bible. We all have powerful cre ation myths: tales of our childhood and family\, our first battles won a nd lost. It is our Genesis. Then\, like in the Book of Exodus\, we go i nto slavery. Rather than building pyramids\, we lose ourselves in fear a nd ambition—in first loves\, first jobs\, too many dreams mixed with t oo much beer. We eventually become free\, only to wander in the wilderne ss. At some point we stop and proclaim to the universe who we are. This is our Leviticus moment. We reconcile what we thought we would be with w hat we have become. We often attempt a mid-course correction. Then\, as in the Book of Numbers\, we are shaped by mortality as we bear the loss of family and friends. Finally\, we retell our stories to our children h oping to make sense of the journey\, as Moses did in Deuteronomy.\n\nTob olowsky’s stories tell of a boy growing up in the wilds of Texas\, fin ding and losing love\, losing and finding himself—all told through the prism of the Torah and Talmud\, mixed with insights from science\, and refined through a child’s sense of wonder. My Adventures with God not only shines a light into the life of one of America’s most beloved ac tors\, but also provides a structure to evaluate our own lives and relat ionship with God.

Yin yoga opens your heart to the understan ding that you are your best teacher.\n\nThis quiet\, introspective pract ice offers you a break from your active\, busy\, running-around-like-mad life style. Enjoy luxuriating in passive\, restful postures where time and space are provided to you to encourage breath awareness and connecti on to your body. Within the stillness you uncover a deeper understanding of your body's tension holding patterns and how to assist them in unwin ding. This happens in real time\, which encourages the fast-talking "mon key mind" to soften into the background\, its interest captured by the p resent moment.\n\nExpect to feel in this class\; it is not restorative. The purpose is to move the body into deep sensation without approaching pain. Find your edge and sit in it. Be curious about it. Watch it. Be in the process of discovery. Listen\, allow\, surrender into what is. And most of all\, learn to be compassionate and friendly toward this process .\n\nThe workshop will consist of 20 minutes of seated Guided Meditation and centering followed by 80 minutes of Yin postures with a few Yang (a ctive) postures mixed in to support the balance of the practice. The fin al 20 minutes will be in Savasana (Rest or Corpse Pose)\, partially guid ed and partially in silence.\n\n$50 per person\nSign up on our website a t www.springboardpilates.com (Go to our website\, click on "Class Schedu le" which is located under the "Classes" tab\, and find the date of the workshop you'd like to take!)\, call (207) 939-1407 or email hilary@spri ngboardpilates.com\n\nInstructor: Jen Micoleau (Bio http://www.springboa rdpilates.com/team/jen-micoleau/)\n\n"Yin Yoga" workshops will be held o n the following Sundays:\nNovember 19\, 2017\nDecember 3\, 2017 URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:52e7f74a-9512-4abf-aa4a-7b2b23d21590 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171119 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Plummer Senior Living Grand Opening DESCRIPTION:Join Plummer Senior Living for their grand opening and open house!

The opening reception will be held on Thursday\, November 2nd from 5-7pm and the show will be on di splay from November 2-25.\n\nConnolly\nGreenhut Galleries’ November so lo exhibition will feature new work by long-time Greenhut artist\, Thoma s Connolly. This exhibition highlights Connolly’s keen gift for captur ing and conveying the mood of any given location\, as well as his abilit y to shift with ease from tight\, detail-driven though painterly realist observations of architectural subjects to loose\, lively and impression istic land- and seascapes. Whether laboring in the studio on his archite ctural paintings or en plein air on his scenes of nature\, Connolly’s stated goal is “to convey an emotional sense of place that is consiste nt with all the work I do. I want my paintings to have a sensual combina tion of colors that makes them feel like there is light coming from with in the paintings\, and this all comes from adjustments and balances with in the work.”\n\nWith regard to his cityscapes\, Connolly wants “to make the paintings look the way a city feels.” In this he is quite suc cessful. As arts writer Mariel Melnick observes\, “Connolly’s painti ngs are entirely realistic\, but they are so much more. They contain bri lliant\, lyrical touches of paint that stand out like high notes in prom inent harmonies. . .His paintings represent atmospheric light and emit t heir own luminosity. And instead of allowing architectural prestige and iconography to occupy the spotlight\, Connolly forces them to succumb to the mood and atmosphere of his paintings. He deliberately chooses to pa int identifiable sights\, which are subsequently overshadowed by their p ainterly rendering.”\n\nThomas Connolly earned his BFA from Maine Coll ege of Art in 1987 and participated in the Maine College of Art Baie Ste . Marie residency program in New Edinburg\, Nova Scotia. He was juried i nto the 2011 Portland Museum of Art Biennial Exhibition\, the 2010 Cente r for Maine Contemporary Art Biennial Exhibition\, and was featured in t he University of New England’s 2013 Exhibition “The Art of Katahdin. ” He is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and the Sh eldon Bergh Award. Connolly’s work is included in the permanent collec tions of the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the National Museum in Gdansk\ , Poland as well as in other public and private collections in the U.S. and abroad.\n\nLynch\nIn the side gallery this month\, Greenhut is pleas ed to announce its first exhibition of works from the estate of one of M aine’s most celebrated abstract artists\, Frederick Lynch (1935-2016). His obituary states\, “In a career spanning more than 50 years\, Lync h pursued a singular vision that began with the observed world and went deep into the underlying structure of appearances.” This exhibition fe atures a group of Lynch’s sculptural segments\, with each displayed be side a gouache on paper representation of itself. The works on paper fee l a bit like architectural specs and are\, in Lynch’s own words\, “a lmost obsessively accurate” renderings of the geometric oil and enamel on pine segments they represent. “I tried to translate every nick\, e very texture\,” he says. Though Lynch’s method is systematic\, it is not formulaic. Lynch’s aesthetic is drawn from the ordered chaos of n ature\, his shapes a bit quirky. “Deviations\, mutations\, and the une xpected” are welcome advents\, staving off predictability. “Art\,” Lynch says\, “is perhaps the most interesting subject there is to me\ , and my art the most interesting of that—not out of ego\, certainly\, but out of curiosity. I make art to see what happens.”\n\nThese two a nd three dimensional renderings of each respective form are separately a nd independently beautiful\; the combined effect is not only beautiful\, but also fascinating. Observing each segment as it confronts its own im age\, the viewer is invited to contemplate the transformative effects of media\, scale\, and dimensionality. But philosophical ponderings are no t at all necessary to appreciate the exhibition. As Lynch puts it\, “M y art is about aesthetics. All other positive associations\, invocations \, or implications are bonus points\, incurred with the advantage of a s econd look.”\n\nFred Lynch lived in Maine for 44 years. He served as a faculty member of the Art Department at the University of Southern Main e from 1981 to 2006\, and has exhibited widely throughout New England an d beyond. In 2005\, the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland mounted a 20-y ear survey of his work. His work is in numerous public and private colle ctions including the Portland Museum of Art. In 2012\, Lynch was one of five artists to be honored at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art’s 60th Anniversary Honors Exhibition.

Join us as we celebrate Greenhut’s 40th anniversary\, its cons istently fabulous roster of artists\, and its proud distinction as Portl and’s oldest year-round gallery.\n\nSince the early 19th century\, the rugged and intense beauty of Maine’s land- and seascape\, as well as its famed quality of light have attracted and energized generations of a rtists. For them\, Maine is both a geographic location and a site of art istic inspiration and creative freedom -- a state of the union\, but als o a state of mind. Maine has been and continues to be vitally important to American art\, and Greenhut is thrilled to play its part. In Peggy’ s words\, “It has been most gratifying for Greenhut Galleries to furth er the tradition of art in the State of Maine. We all work very hard at the gallery\, but the artists we represent are the heart and soul of Gre enhut.”\n\nAs the gallery has grown\, so too\, have the reputations of its artists\, whose styles span the spectrum from realism to abstractio n\, with a wide range of subject matter in both two- and three-dimension al media. Greenhut represents a diverse group of over 30 Maine painters and sculptors\, each selected not only for their technical skill\, but a lso for his or her distinct voice and unique vision. The gallery is also proud to show work from the estates of Robert Hamilton\, Maurice Freedm an\, Jon Imber\, and most recently\, Neil Welliver and Frederick Lynch.\ n\nKelley Lehr and John Danos have implemented a strong social media pre sence with a long-term vision of dramatically expanding outreach and fol lowship. They are planning big changes to the website in 2018 and specia l events\, so stay tuned! To see of what's in store this coming year be sure to visit our UPCOMING EXHIBITION page. Thank you for your patronage and we look forward to your next visit to the gallery.\n\nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS\nJoel Babb • Susan Barnes • Matt Blackwell • Mary Bourke\ nJeff Bye • Thomas Connolly • Ed Douglas • David Driskell\nGrant D rumheller • Maurice Freedman • Kathleen Galligan\nRoy Germon • Ali son Goodwin • Robert Hamilton\nThomas Higgins • Jon Imber • Tina I ngraham • William Irvine\nHenry Isaacs • Sarah Knock • Margaret La wrence\nGeorge Lloyd • Frederick Lynch • Alan Magee • Daniel Minte r\nNancy Morgan Barnes • Colin Page • Tom Paiement\nRoy Patterson Stephen Porter • Roger Prince • Sandra Quinn\nAlison Rector • Gl enn Renell • Alec Richardson\nKathi Smith • Mike Stiler • Neil Wel liver • John Whalley URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:d09a3436-32c8-4c3d-b1af-055f775dee87 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171202 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Portland Community Chorus presents "A Yuletide Celebration" DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun concert of music featuring beautiful holid ay classics\, contemporary pieces\, and carols -- plus a festive singalo ng!

Eventually it just seems obv ious that it was the only option and an agreement of “All in” set th e stage for the formation of an epic duo. Tracy’s weathered voice and upright bass seem to be built to compliment the world class vocals of Ju lia. From the onset they made a decision to focus on singing and playing together constantly. Tracy owns On Deck Sound Studio in CT and Julia no w works there in the video department. In an age of content being king\, they have the ability to release videos at a regular pace. The strategy has paid off as people constantly come to shows saying they saw a video and had to come to hear Belle of the Fall sing.

All events are free and open to the pub lic.\n\nThe Public Engagement Program at Maine College of Art presents t he exhibition STILL STANDING\, The Abyssinian Meeting House Story Archiv e\, to be held at Maine College of Art. The show is a culmination of a t hree year oral history and storytelling project with elders and communit y leaders from Portland and students at MECA.\n\nThe Abyssinian Meeting House is full of great stories. In 1866 it survived The Great Fire when fireman and member William Wilberforce Ruby saved it by covering it in w et blankets courtesy of spring running through the building’s basement . The Abyssinian Meeting House functioned as a cultural center and a lea ding contributor to The Underground Railroad. After years of vacancy\, t his cultural center was almost lost again in the 1970’s when it was sl ated for demolition by the city. Deborah Cummings Khadraoui rediscovered this important cultural center and catalyzed its restoration. As the th ird oldest African American meeting house in the country\, The Abyssinia n Meeting House is an important American cultural landmark.\n\nFor the p ast three years\, students in the Public Engagement class Storytelling 1 01 have collaborated with The Abyssinian Meeting House to celebrate its story. For this project\, students interviewed African American elders i n Maine\, to create an archive of stories to be housed at The Abyssinian Meeting House. By documenting these stories\, the partnership aimed to honor the contribution and experience of African American elders by crea ting an archive of stories for future generations. Still Standing is the culminating event to celebrate the importance of African American exper iences in Portland and communicate the significance of this history in t he state of Maine.\n\nThe exhibition features audio\, text and photograp hs from all three years of the project.\n\nFor more information\, please contact Elizabeth A.

Such a simple act revolutioni zed our understanding of what a painting could be. By privileging the pa inting’s\nmarginal feature—the frame\, its structural support — Ha ng Up transcends the medium’s inherent two-dimensionality.\nOff the Wa ll pays homage to Hesse’s groundbreaking work and investigates how con temporary artists continue to explore this liminal space between paintin g and sculpture. At times\, a painting’s skin slides onto the floor or creeps onto the ceiling. In others\, structural components protrude out ward into the gallery space. As our spatial relationship with such works is reconfigured\, objects on view in Off the Wall permeate into space a nd challenge our comprehension of both painting and sculpture. To provid e an intimate perspective on this topic\, Off the Wall will feature a ra nge of works by two Brooklyn-based artists\, Rosy Keyser and Ryan Wallac e. A representative sampling of work will be presented by each artist to provoke thought about the shifting dynamics between painting and sculpt ure or sculpture and painting as well as their collision. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalog with an essay by guest curator Jaime D eSimone.

The show is a cu lmination of a three year oral history and storytelling project with eld ers and community leaders from Portland and students at MECA.\n\nThe Aby ssinian Meeting House is full of great stories. In 1866 it survived The Great Fire when fireman and member William Wilberforce Ruby saved it by covering it in wet blankets courtesy of spring running through the build ing’s basement. The Abyssinian Meeting House functioned as a cultural center and a leading contributor to The Underground Railroad. After year s of vacancy\, this cultural center was almost lost again in the 1970’ s when it was slated for demolition by the city. Deborah Cummings Khadra oui rediscovered this important cultural center and catalyzed its restor ation. As the third oldest African American meeting house in the country \, The Abyssinian Meeting House is an important American cultural landma rk.\nFor the past three years\, students in the Public Engagement class Storytelling 101 have collaborated with The Abyssinian Meeting House to celebrate its story. For this project\, students interviewed African Ame rican elders in Maine\, to create an archive of stories to be housed at The Abyssinian Meeting House. By documenting these stories\, the partner ship aimed to honor the contribution and experience of African American elders by creating an archive of stories for future generations. Still S tanding is the culminating event to celebrate the importance of African American experiences in Portland and communicate the significance of thi s history in the state of Maine.\n\nThe exhibition features audio\, text and photographs from all three years of the project. The exhibition ope ns on first Friday\, February 2\, 2018 and runs from January 24\, 2018- February 24\, 2018 in the Artists at Work Gallery at 522 Congress Street \, Portland.

The show is a culmination of a three year oral history and storytelling project with elders and comm unity leaders from Portland and students at MECA.\n\nIn relationship to this exhibition\, please join us for The Peoples State of the Union Stor y Circle event on Saturday\, February 3 from 3-6PM.\n\nThe Abyssinian Me eting House is full of great stories. In 1866 it survived The Great Fire when fireman and member William Wilberforce Ruby saved it by covering i t in wet blankets courtesy of spring running through the building’s ba sement. The Abyssinian Meeting House functioned as a cultural center and a leading contributor to The Underground Railroad. After years of vacan cy\, this cultural center was almost lost again in the 1970’s when it was slated for demolition by the city. Deborah Cummings Khadraoui redisc overed this important cultural center and catalyzed its restoration. As the third oldest African American meeting house in the country\, The Aby ssinian Meeting House is an important American cultural landmark.\n\nFor the past three years\, students in the Public Engagement class Storytel ling 101 have collaborated with The Abyssinian Meeting House to celebrat e its story. For this project\, students interviewed African American el ders in Maine\, to create an archive of stories to be housed at The Abys sinian Meeting House. By documenting these stories\, the partnership aim ed to honor the contribution and experience of African American elders b y creating an archive of stories for future generations. Still Standing is the culminating event to celebrate the importance of African American experiences in Portland and communicate the significance of this histor y in the state of Maine.

The performance\, based on a prose piece written by Rogoff that engages with and interprets Franz Kafka’s short story “The Bur row\,” explores our shrinking privacy and how the disruptive quality o f sound shapes our personal and social lives. An interactive discussion will follow the performance.\n\nStructured as a fictional lecture that i s delivered to an imagined class\, Burrow: Revisited offers an interacti on with literature that is non-academic and explorative\, probing exciti ng new ways of transmitting\, teaching\, and enjoying literary work. Ale x Waterman\, a New Music composer who is deeply interested in how to cre ate artificial soundscapes in order to provide multi-dimensional imagina ry landscapes for the audience\, has created an original score.\n\nThrou gh this performance\, sparked by Rogoff’s experiences as a teacher\, t he beauties of literature are revealed and become transformative. Rogoff ’s short story\, upon which the performance is based\, is about a mome nt of conflict between a patient and a therapist triggered by the intrus ion of the memory of another patient at a psychological clinic. Social m edia and the speed of communications impact our cultural atmosphere\, ou r quality of discourse\, and our political environment\, creating anxiet ies similar to the psychological puzzles explored by Kafka. By staging t he performance as a “fake” lecture\, the typical classroom setting w ill be transformed and theatrically disrupted while Waterman’s score e xplores the subtly ubiquitous threat of noise pollution\, such as cell p hones\, cars\, and planes.

Intrica te melodies and harmonies intertwine with an infectious jazz rhythm sect ion to provide the core of this virtuosic quartet’s sound. Fiddlers Jo n Cannon and Abigale Reisman\, both students of Lautari master violinist Marin Bunea\, bring a contemporary perspective to a full traditional re pertoire alongside guitarist Sasha Kern and upright bassist Kirsten Lamb . Mierliţa has given acclaimed performances all over New England includ ing appearances at the New England Folk Festival and the Folk Arts Cente r of New England’s popular Balkan Music Night. Their debut full-length CD\, “Stranger in Chisinau\,” was released in March 2015. Enjoy the ir music and learn more at www.mierlita.com.\n\nPraise for Mierliţa:\n You were just amazing\, and everybody in the audience was extremely im pressed by your skills\, and by your ability to understand and capture t he spirit of Romanian Lautari. Everybody left spiritually enriched\, and maybe a bit nostalgic about their past time.” — Dana Pentia\, Roman ian vocalist\n\nTickets: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3179415 \nOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/840343379476270/\nOn Mayo Street Arts website: http://mayostreetarts.org/?tribe_events=mierlita URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:3c2dd690-eaa5-4bc4-9e71-1df7a1347c0c STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180303 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Gallery - The Choreographers Work DESCRIPTION:World Premiere Dance Performance featuring a new work by for mer Boston Ballet Principal dancer Yury Yanowsky.

In each project\, the final pieces are the resul t of a collaborative process between the artist and her environment.\n\n For Hart\, the drawings are born first from staining paper with ink and allowing the blot to spread naturally across kozo paper. Then she respon ds with a drawing. Hart describes the act as a hesitant departure from r ealism\, but notes that it can be as generative as it is problematic. So metimes she tries to control the stain with her pen and other times\, sh e lets it inform her subject matter. Ultimately\, Hart is trying to unde rstand her artistic relationship with a fragile and dynamic world.\n\nMa rjorie Moore’s final work on paper is an attempt to make sense of a se ascape in constant flux\; to classify what she sees on her beach strolls into a composition that feels coherent on paper. Her process involves t ranscribing an object found in nature onto the page\, attempting at once to move it into the medium of drawing and honor its given form. Using g rid\, color\, line\, and traditional botanical drawing\, she composes a guide to a landscape that is incredibly diverse.\n\nThe results of both of these experiments are works on paper that revel in the surprise\, fra gility\, and beauty of a world that is changing every day and play with the human desire to find order within complexity.

Blackwell is a fearless and prolif ic artist. His work\, which is narrative and rooted in Americana\, is wi cked quirky\, and floridly imaginative. In it\, we see the artist’s fl air for the uncanny\, an irreverent wit\, and a keen appreciation for th e myriad absurdities of being\, but Blackwell’s empathy for his often eccentric protagonists is always apparent. Though some pieces are inspir ed by the music of singer/songwriters like Bob Dylan\, John Prine\, and Lucinda Williams\, or by scenes from everyday reality\, in Blackwell’s America\, delirious and carnivalesque inversions of order occur on the regular. Bears stand upright and escort glamorous women to undisclosed l ocations\, gleefully maniacal\, Day-of-the-Dead-looking characters speed their pink cartoon of a car around the feet of a great colossus of a mo ose (whose antlers seem light and airy\, like fairy wings)\, as it stand s motionless amid a crowd of random and assorted human and supernatural beings gathered in a forest clearing. As critic David Brody puts it\, "B lackwell’s figures are both fantastic projections of psychic roles and notes on everyday weirdness. . . [his] fondness for the Twilight Zone i s in cahoots with the ambiguity of his narratives.” Place is important \, with most of Blackwell’s imagery drawn from places that meaningfull y intersect with his own biography: Maine\, upstate New York\, and New M exico. Artists Fintan Boyle and Jennie Nichols describe Blackwell as “ something of a regionalist chronicler. As such\, the paintings are a for m of notation or witnessing. But if the footing is in regionalism there is also a Hogarthian cocked eye on the lookout for the right scene that will give us regionalism’s crusty experience as a cautionary lesson fo r the wider world.”\n\nBlackwell on his process: “My work is a combi nation of observation\, memory\, and painterly process. Although narrati ve\, the work is quite often propelled forward by formal and painterly c oncerns\, abstraction. I often use groups of figures to convey my narrat ives. However\, they exist as a reason to push paint around. Sometimes I have a clear agenda on my narratives\, other times it comes about throu gh painterly process. Sometimes the narrative is clear\, other times its ambiguous and left to the viewer to draw their own conclusion.”\n\nMa tt Blackwell holds a BFA from Portland School of Art (now Maine College of Art)(1977) and an MFA from University of North Carolina (1988)\, wher e he received the Holderness Fellowship for Excellence. In 1980\, he was the recipient of the Marguerite Zorach scholarship in painting to the S kowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, and in 2015 he received a Gu ggenheim Fellowship. His work is in the permanent collections of the Por tland Museum of Art (see the aforementioned Moose there)\, the Everson M useum of Art (Syracuse\, NY)\, and the Savannah College of Art and Desig n (Savannah\, GA)\, as well as many private collections.\n\n*\n\nKathi S mith’s lush\, expressionistic paintings are known for their loose\, co nfident brush strokes\, and their complex and sophisticated interplay of textures\, gestural marks\, and rich\, abundant color. As art writer Ma rcia Santore notes: “Her surfaces are worked and reworked\, brushed\, rubbed\, dabbed\, scuffed and pressed\, built up in layers\, scraped dow n again\, scratched through\, into a surface defined by texture and trav eling marks\, touched by brilliant color.” Thematically\, location hol ds a place of primacy. Smith is most inspired by scenes in which she fin ds herself lost in the act of looking: “Complicated spaces with an abu ndance of information intrigue me\, and I consider it my task as an arti st to find order within them.” Though her work is representational\, s he is always\, in her words\, “flirting with abstraction. . .There’s a balance between the literal and the conceptual. For me\, painting is about seeing\, experiencing\, and articulating the world (things\, space s\, places) around me. . .using observation\, perspective\, point of vie w and perception to translate the world I find myself in.”\n\nKathi is currently interested in “the role of the landscape in developing any one person’s sense of self\, and\, when conjured through sensations\, such as color\, light and touch\, how powerful the visual memory of a pl ace can be.” Introducing an implied “self” with a sense of identit y in relation to a particular landscape necessarily inscribes it with a narrative quality. As Kathi says\, “I look for narratives within the l andscape. I find them in backyards\, abandoned spaces and in those space s in between that are often overlooked.”\n\nMost of Smith’s painting s are started on location from direct observation\, but are then brought to her studio\, where she continues working on them. “Through this pr ocess\, the paintings become a blend of both real and remembered worlds\ , more evocative of the subject matter than descriptive.” Kathi’s re cent paintings are visually compelling landscapes relevant to her person al history\, emotionally inscribed with sense memories of her family's h omestead in Nova Scotia\, her hometown in western Maine\, and Maine’s Great Cranberry Island. As such\, their narrative holds an intimate\, fi rst person point of view: “I find familiarities in these places\, wher e a particular light\, color\, or texture in the landscape will evoke a memory\, then becoming my subject.”\n\nKathi Smith holds a BFA in Pain ting &\; Drawing from the University of Southern Maine (2003)\, and a MFA in Painting from the University of New Hampshire (2008). She has pa rticipated in many regional and national exhibitions\, and numerous pres tigious residencies. She received a full fellowship supported by the Joa n Mitchell Foundation to the Vermont Studio Center and has been a Fellow and Artist-in-Residence at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts\, Weir Farm National Historic Site in Connecticut\, and the Heliker-LaHota n Foundation in Maine. She currently teaches studio arts at Husson Unive rsity in Bangor.

Visual storyteller Sofia Aldinio and write r Emily Wedick present a mixed media exhibit that unearths the stories o f those who have resettled here and the treasured possessions they carri ed with them.\n\nOpening night will be held on June 20th from 5:30 - 7:3 0. All are welcome to attend to view the exhibit\, meet the artists\, he ar first account stories from the subjects themselves and enjoy music by Pihcintu Choir and African Dundada.\n\nMaine’s resettled refugees wer e carried\, through a confluence of unique circumstances\, away from the ir homes of origin and to this unlikely landing place-- just like object s they brought with them. Carried from Home reveals a deeper understandi ng of their lives and passages. Through the objects and the stories of t hose who behold them\, we explore the concept of value as it relates to who we are\, what we own\, where we call home\, and what we share as cul tures collide and coexist in our state.\n\nMost of us have an object tha t holds great meaning to us\, that we care for\, and that has traveled a great distance with us--through time or miles or both. Carried from Hom e connects the audience with its subjects through the shared experience of holding onto what we care about most.\n\nNo matter where we live\, we all want to know: who are our neighbors\, where do they come from and w hy are they here? In a time when the value of refugees in our communitie s is often questioned\, Carried from Home shows us that values of our ne ighbors “from away” are not so foreign afterall.. Carried from Home seeks to become a statewide mobile exhibit.\n\nCarried From Home is fund ed by the Maine Arts Commission and event sponsors also include Venn + M aker.\n\nContact:\nSofia Aldinio / sofiaaldinio@gmail.com / (207) 703 - 5216\nEmily Wedick / emilywedick@gmail.com / (207) 615 - 9475 URL;VALUE=URI: UID:urn:uuid:243ebb59-59b4-444d-9815-a7e72e2a9e31 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260217T211543Z DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20180620 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:19700101 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Full Moon Ghost Tour DESCRIPTION:Join us as we explore the creepy corners of Portland's Old P ort in this comedy of Haunted History!

This exhibition ex emplifies the dynamic nature of our creative community and their relatio n to Maine.\n\nThe first highlighted artist is Russ Cox\, contemporary a bstract oil painter. Cox’s oil paintings evoke the sensory feeling ass ociate with place\, nature and experience. Works evolve from a process o f applying layer upon layer with multiple glazes to create movement\, tr anslucency and depth. These works are deeply meditative\, becoming more complex as they unfold.\n\nOur second highlighted artist is Paul Brahms\ , oil painter. Brahm's work features loose brushwork often depicting the coast of Maine and the figures that inhabit it. In his own words " I as pire to be like the bee who tells his co-workers where the flowers are o r a filmmaker who illuminates the tension in a scene. I want my work to move\, to have atmosphere\, and to embody a searching\, questioning stat e of being\, but this requires meditation as much as agitation\, and I s traddle this polarity often\, leaving a visual record of this struggle." \n\nOur Summer Artists:\nJane Banquer | Chris Benneman | Paul Brahms | M ary Brooking\nCarolyn Caldwell | Pat Campbell | Dave Connor | Russ Cox | Diana Dahlke\nChristina Davis | Suzanne deLesseps | Claudia Diller | Ju lia Doughty\nJonathan Eiten | Anne Emerson | Joni Fox-Campbell | Robert Gibson\nRebecca Hayes | Janet Ledoux | Robert Leedy | Naomi McNeill | Er ika Manning\nLindsey Larsen Myer | Susan Orfant | James Rivoli | Ellen R oberts | Jan Royall\nBonnie Spiegel | Jeffrey Stevensen | Robin Swennes | Dana Trattner\nMaya Travaglia | Kelly Ufkin | Sue Vittner | Jean Wiech a | Ward Wilson\nOur Summer 2018 Maine Art and Artists exhibition runs J une 21st through July 30th.\nWe are open 7 days a week and by appointmen t.

She is currentl y an art educator in Cape Elizabeth\, Maine\, and her work has been exhi bited at the Maine College of Art.\n\nJohnston is a photographer who is best known for creating photographs of the female form. She presents her subjects as simplified\, ambiguous shapes\, oftentimes revealing\, myst ifying\, and deeply personal. The intimate nature of her work immerse us in a universe of sensations\, blurring the line between illusion and re ality. Inspired by women\, Johnston finds intrigue in their history and the exteriors that result from their past stories. Her subject may be a friend\, family member\, or stranger\, but in each case\, she invites t hem to participate actively in the shoot and to collaborate confidently. Johnston is fascinated with the dichotomy of the alabaster skin in fron t of black cloth\, the geometry present in the organic human form\, and the play of natural light on the surface of the skin. Johnston says of h er work: “For women in particular-- our bodies are part of our story.

Since 2001\, this New England based tribute band has been deli ghting sell-out crowds across the country with a catalog of music that e ncompasses the classics and deep cuts from the Eagles’ studio collecti on\, as well as the biggest hits from the solo careers of Glenn Frey\, D on Henley\, and Joe Walsh.\n\nAnd they do this with an unparalleled comm itment to the music. Another Tequila Sunrise has gone beyond the realm o f understanding “how” this music was made. Yes\, their ability to re create these iconic studio sounds does not go unnoticed\; but what reall y sets them apart is their ability to recreate the Eagles’ LIVE experi ence. And to do that\, one must understand not only “how” the music was made\, but also “why”.\n\nWhy does Henley alter his drumming pat tern ever-so-slightly? Why does Felder choose this particular lick or pa ssage over another? Uncovering these notions is crucial to peeling back the layers of these timeless songs\, the key to improvising like an Eagl e\, and the secret to delivering a painstakingly authentic Eagles LIVE e xperience…..and this all-star lineup has it in spades.\n\nSo\, do your self a favor\; grab a pair of front-row tickets\, and let Another Tequil a Sunrise transport you back to a warm night in the summer of ’77\, on a dark desert highway\, cool wind in your hair.

Her lush\, painterly surfaces merge abstra ction with figuration in a highly personal way to describe\, not form\, but feeling. The paintings flicker and glow with a strange phosphorescen t light that suggest deep\, dark dreams and a hazy space between reality and imagination. Consistent throughout the work is the suggestion of ne w frontiers and failed journeys. Humanistic and intense\, Bradford’s p aintings explore the infinite through color\, shape\, and symbol and are \, in turns\, humorous\, epic\, emotional and vulnerable.\n\nHer works h ave been exhibited at MoMA PS 1 in New York\, the Brooklyn Museum\, the Portland Museum of Art\, the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover\ , the Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina in Gre ensboro\, and Philadelphia’s University of the Arts.

Paired with David Driskell's current solo show "Assemblage\," Gibbons's reading will include ekphrastic poems res ponding to Driskell's work\, as well as other poems selected from across his long and distinguished writing career.\n\nRichard Hoffman\, former Chairman of PEN New England\, described Gibbons's writing as "sacralizin g Portland\, lodging it in the imagination of readers." His poems addres sing Driskell's work have a similar effect\, amplifying their visual imp act by vocalizing the emotional reaction one has to Driskell's vibrant\, spiritual art.\n\nIn response to Driskell's "Behold Thy Son\," which ha ngs in the National Museum of African-American History and Culture\, Gib bons wrote:\n\n"The artist who painted\nBehold Thy Son\, 1956\,\nonce gr aced this door\,\ncrossed the threshold\nto look around. Even\nsilence i n the aura\nof such a man\ncan unveil\nan arc\nof Truth."\n\nAn "arc of Truth" is also an apt description for a work of art. As Flannery O'Conno r wrote\, "The basis of art is truth\, both in matter and in mode." By b ringing non-visual arts into the gallery\, we hope to complement and ill uminate our visual art. We cannot think of a better artist to begin this endeavor than Robert Gibbons.\n\nRobert Gibbons is the author of ten bo oks of poetry\, as well as a chapbook\, Of DC\, with cover designed by R obert Rauschenberg\, and a study of the similarities in approaches to ar t in language by the great American poet Charles Olson and that in paint by the Abstract Expressionist\, Clyfford Still\, Olson/Still: Crossroad .

The race and all proceeds are to benefit “ K9s on the Front Line\,” a nonprofit organization that works to rescue shelter dogs by training them to be certified service dogs and thus fit to assist suffering PTSD/TBI military veterans.\n\nThe sport of canicro ss is an event in which one runs with their dog. A harness or belt aroun d the waist is worn by the human runner\, and a harness is worn by the d og. The dog\, in more competitive events\, is to run in front of the per son at all times\, though in amateur gatherings exceptions are made! It is a pulling sport for some\, with active vigorous participation from th e human and for others it is a stroll with man’s best friend by their side. The beauty is the health benefit for both participants on an outsi de trail setting.\n\nThis year we are adding a separate 5k trail run for those who would prefer to run without a dog! We are opening the event f or all trail runners to participate at this scenic venue.\n\nIn addition to the races\, there we are anticipating be pet activities\, live music \, pet and food vendors as well as photography.

Her work examines her deep co nnection to nature and to the Maine landscape. Erika’s paintings are d irectly inspired by Maine’s gorgeous clear light\, the colors of pine trees\, ocean\, and lobster buoys\, as well as the shapes of rock\, isla nds\, topographical maps and boats. Although she strives for a finished piece\, the beauty for her is in the process of making art. She starts o ut with beginner mind\, an initial gesture and relies heavily on random acts of chance and the correct alignment of time and space. As she works \, the image shifts as the rhythms and cycles of seasons\, nature\, eart h\, life and tides are evoked. The final image is a map of the passage o f time\, the paths taken\, the colors chosen\, the shapes drawn\, of the emotional weather and the conversations with the piece itself. The fina l image is always a surprise.

Deeply refreshing Gregorian melodies receiv e Duruflé’s special harmonic treatment in a work that ChoralArt has n ot sung in more than a decade.

The second movement is 'Wood'\, in which strong rhythmic patterns are generated on the wooden percussion instruments\, alongside pizzicat o motifs in the strings. The third movement is 'Water'\, which takes on a slow\, expansive texture\, with long and tranquil melodic lines to cre ate a feeling of quiet calm and serenity. The fourth movement is 'Fire'\ , which is characterized by persistent rhythmic drumming patterns and en ergetic trilling figures\, punctuated by cascading bell-like chords in t he piano\, embodying light and heat. The last movement is ‘Earth’\; the music moves slowly and majestically in a free tempo\, creating a fee ling of peaceful\, open space. At the end\, all the elements are transfo rmed into a perfect balance.\n\nBorn in Beijing\, composer Zhou Long is internationally recognized for creating a unique body of music that brin gs together the aesthetic concepts and musical elements of East and West .
