Katie Blair St John Art Show Opening
Katie Blair St John has spent every summer of her life in Small Point, breathing in the colors, composition and atmosphere. A great admirer of art from Italian Renaissance to Contemporary, she foolishly was intimidated from taking painting classes because other students appeared to already know what they were doing. Local painters, Frank and Phyllis Mason and Mary Ester MacFadyen became her inspiration. In the 50’s and 60’s she’d watch them pick up an old, wooden shingle and dash off a quick landscape while supposedly watching [...]

Speaker Series – Tess Chakkalakal: Introducing Charles Chesnutt
In this talk, Tess Chakkalakal offers a fresh look at the life and work of Charles Waddell Chesnutt, the first professional Black American writer. His first novel was adapted for the screen by Oscar Micheaux. His stories of post-Civil War America are as relevant today as when they first appeared in the 1880s. Uncovering new sources, Chakkalakal evokes Chesnutt’s rise as a schoolteacher in the segregated South to joining the ranks of American realist authors. Working as a shorthand reporter, lawyer, and author, Chesnutt published six [...]

Artist work is exhibited throughout the week and is available for purchase during that time. HODIE HAZARD It's been the highest pleasure of my artistic life to start working with Ned, learning to throw, hand build and glaze pots. While we're each doing our own pieces, we're also experimenting with co-creation - my glazing on his beautiful forms. I highly recommend a brand new journey in your 70’s.

Lasell Family Art Show Opening
According to a history written about the Whitin machine works, the Lasells of Whitinsville were “warm-hearted, sensitive, artistic people, socially gracious and fond of good living.” Although the first two of these characteristics were not ideal qualifications for running a machinery business in central Massachusetts, that is what they did, until textile work went south in the middle of the last century. They supported promising artists and they appreciated art in their own family. Various members of the family have had the opportunity to be [...]

Juliet Kirkham Art Show Opening
I am a self-taught artist, working out of my studio in Berkeley, California. I have always been drawn to watercolor, but learning to use this mercurial and mischievous medium is a recent exploration. I am constantly thrilled with the interplay between water and pigment and the individualistic and often erratic behaviors of watercolor paints. For me, painting is a practice not a perfect - a constant way to witness and delight in the everyday world around us. Artist work is exhibited throughout the week and [...]
