SUMMARY:Mark Farnum and Alan Papscun — Opening Reception. Show runs through October 31
DESCRIPTION:Painting above is by Mark Farnum \nFree opening reception Saturday\, October 5th\, 2:00 – 4:00 PM. \nAfter the opening reception\, the show will run until October 31\, and can be seen before performances or by appointment. Call 413-258-4100. \nMark Farnum Artist’s Statement: \nMark started painting when he retired from the Army in his early sixties. He works with acrylic paints\, and his subjects are landscapes\, seascapes\, barns\, people\, things — whatever inspires him on any given day. \nHe lives in Tyringham. \nAlan Papscun Artist’s Statement: \nThe human form has directed me for over 30 years\, from my initial focus as a student of mostly classical figure to the more abstracted forms of my graduate work. I continue to move back and forth between them to maintain my own balance. My work references wholeness\, vulnerability\, deformation\, fragmentation\, so as to reflect what it is to be imperfectly human\, as we all ultimately exist.

SUMMARY:Today's Poets in Conversation with the Masters
DESCRIPTION:“A large number of the poems I most admire and which seem to be most original are talking back to other poets of other ages.”\n—Richard Wilbur \nJoin us for this unique poetry program with poems of masters such as Frost\, Auden\, Wilbur\, Plath\, Owen\, Boland\, Kumin\, Bynner\, and Yeats performed by Ben Luxon and Sandisfield Players Mary Anne Grammer\, Jean Atwater-Williams\, Tina Sotis\, Charles Fidlar\, and Val Coleman\, in dialog with poems they have inspired by award-winning poets Hilde Weisert\, Rebecca Hart Olander\, Jayne Benjulian\, Irene Willis\, and others. \nJames Kraft\, distinguished writer and general editor of the works of Witter Bynner and the biography Who Is Witter Bynner?\, will read several  of the most enduring Bynner poems\, including this one: \nDefeat \nOn a train in Texas German prisoners eat\nWith white American soldiers\, seat by seat\,\nWhile black American soldiers sit apart\,\nThe white men eating meat\, the black men heart.\nNow\, with that other war a century done\,\nNot the live North but the dead South has won\,\nNot yet a riven nation comes awake.\nWhom are we fighting this time\, for God’s sake?\nMark well the token of the separate seat.\nIt is again ourselves whom we defeat. \nWitter Bynner\, 1881-1968 \nBynner\, largely forgotten today\, was widely published and well-known in the early and mid-20th century. He was a champion of the women’s movement and racial equality and friend to Robert Frost\, D.H. and Frieda Lawrence\, Edna St. Vincent Millay\, and Khalil Gibran. His translations brought Chinese poetry to an American audience\, and his version of The Way of Life\, according to Lao-Tzu is still considered definitive. \nThe program will be followed by a wine and cheese reception. \nTickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. \nAbout the poets: \nJayne Benjulian is author of the critically-praised Five Sextillion Atoms. Jayne will teach a new workshop Writing and the Art of Revising at the Foundry in West Stockbridge Friday mornings nine to noon from October 18 – November 22. Information here. \nRebecca Hart Olander’s  debut full-length collection\, Uncertain Acrobats\, is forthcoming from CavanKerry Press in 2021. Rebecca teaches writing at Westfield State University and is editor/director of Perugia Press. \nHilde Weisert lives part-time in Sandisfield and is author of The Scheme of Things. Poems to be on the program include “The Pity of It\,” winner of the 2016 Tiferet Poetry Prize\, and the Calyx Lois Cranston Award\, “Finding Wilfred Owen Again.” \nIrene Willis is the author of five collections of poetry\, has won numerous awards\, is poetry editor of the online International Psychoanalysis\, and is at work on an anthology on immigration. \n*** \nThe postcard above is the Poet’s Seat Tower in Greenfield\, Massachusetts\, which has this plaque commemorating Greenfield poet Frederick Goddard Tuckerman. Come on the 28th and you’ll discover the connection between Tuckerman\, Richard Wilbur\, and others. \n \n  \nIn his introduction to the Collected Poems of Tuckerman\, poet Witter Bynner wrote: \n“Though Robinson and Millay and Masefield have undoubtedly never read him\, they would seem to have tapped his philosophy as well as his diction…He is as Chinese as he is American…He happened to belong to New England.”

SUMMARY:Fascism and Racial Laws in Mussolini's Italy
DESCRIPTION:In his talk and slide presentation\, historian and part-time Sandisfield resident Dr. Robert A. Maryks will tell a story of the impact of the racial laws on the Jews (and those who were considered Jews) under the Mussolini regime. This story is based on 139 letters that were exchanged between the victims of those laws (and their relatives and friends) and the Jesuit priest Pietro Tacchi Venturi (1861–1956) who interceded within the Fascist government in order to circumvent or alleviate various provisions of the 1938 anti-Jewish legislation. Maryks discovered these letters in a Roman archive and published them in a recent book.  \nRobert A. Maryks\, PhD (Fordham University) has published widely on the history of the Jesuits\, including\, most recently\, the edited volume Encounters between Jesuits and Protestants in Asia and the Americas (Brill\, 2018). He is the editor of the Journal of Jesuits Studies\, Brill’s series of Jesuit Studies\, Jesuit Historiography Online\, and Brill Research Perspectives in Jesuit Studies.

SUMMARY:Claudia D'Alessandro "The Nature of Things" — Opening Reception. Show runs through September 28
DESCRIPTION:Free opening reception Saturday\, September 7th 2:00-4:00 PM. \nAfter the opening reception\, the show will run until September 28\, and can be seen before performances or by appointment. Call 413-258-4100. \nArtist’s Statement: \nAll around us\, the natural world offers a distant mirror of our experiences:  in the sky and water and on the earth.  Great drama\, intricate patterns\, faces\, shapes\, and colors are all around\, and sometimes\, the most beautiful of these lasts only an instant. \nThe light\, patterns\, colors and shapes found in Nature’s palette of sweeping landscapes\, skies\, and waterways blend realism\, impressionism\, and abstractions. As part of my joy in living\, I transfer those images onto paper\, canvas\, and aluminum\, creating photographs that can ornament\, inspire — perhaps transform — our living spaces.

SUMMARY:Bill Cohn on "Combating the Enemy Within"
DESCRIPTION:Early in the Depression\, on February 2\, 1931\, Silas H. Strawn\, Chairman of the United States Chamber of Commerce\, warned\,  “in a condition of this kind\, the thing to be feared most is fear itself.” In March 1933 President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt echoed this same sentiment in his inaugural address when he told the American people “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”   \nEven before America’s entry into World War II and then during the war\, FDR discovered there was something to fear in the likely presence of fascist and communist foreign agents who were engaged in internal subversion\, among other things.   \nInternal dangers and combating the enemy within has a history dating back to the late nineteen century if not before\, reaching full maturity in the 20th and 21st centuries. \n  \nCohn is a retired college professor who taught history and American studies at Trinity College in Hartford\, CT\, and European history at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh\, PA.

SUMMARY:Marguerite "Marge" Bride — Opening Reception\, Sat\, Aug 3rd
DESCRIPTION:Free opening reception Saturday\, August 3rd\, 2:00 – 4:00 PM. \nAfter the opening reception\, the show will run until August 28\, and can be seen before performances or by appointment. Call 413-258-4100. \nArtist’s Statement: \n“Wherever I go I cannot help but see the colors and scenes around me as a painting. Watercolor always provides a fun surprise … no matter how I may initially visualize the finished painting; the medium always tells me who is really the boss here. Often those little unplanned-for happenings are the most interesting part of the painting.  When that happens\, I just let the water do its thing. \n“Creating painterly architectural images is most intriguing for me. I enjoy painting the old buildings and the lovely town centers here in the Berkshires and New England\, and of course\, lighthouses and house portraits. I’ve waited many years before permitting myself to become immersed in art. The time spent in other professions has made this one all the more precious.” \nBride is a Berkshires resident and works out of her studio in Pittsfield\, where she also gives lessons and meets with clients. Visit her website (https://margebride-paintings.com) or Facebook page for updates on her exhibit schedule.

DESCRIPTION:Join Hannah Fries for a slide show\, reading\, and discussion about her new book\, Forest Bathing Retreat: Find Wholeness in the Company of Trees. People have been retreating to the woods for quiet\, meditation\, and inspiration for centuries\, and recent research finds that time spent in the forest doesn’t just feel good but is\, in fact\, good for you. Inspired by the Japanese concept of shinrin-yoku\, or forest bathing\, Hannah combines her own reflections and guided mindfulness exercises with a curated selection of inspirational writing from poets\, naturalists\, artists\, scientists\, and thinkers throughout the centuries and across cultures\, including Japanese haiku masters\, nineteenth-century European Romantics\, American Transcendentalists\, and contemporary environmentalists. \n  \nHannah will read selections from the book accompanied by a slide show of stunning photos. She’ll also talk about the pleasure of working across disciplines and the deep joy that comes from a simple practice of attentiveness. \nHannah will be signing copies of the book\, which is also available at local bookstores or online at Indiebound.

SUMMARY:"Capturing Light": Photos by Thad Kubis - Opening Reception. Show runs through May 25
DESCRIPTION:Free opening reception Saturday April 27 2:30-4:00 PM \nAfter the opening reception\, the show will run until May 25\, and can be seen before performances or by appointment. Call 413-258-4100. \nArtist’s Statement \nTrained as a visual communicator\, I adapted my creative vision to designing aesthetically pleasing images of all aspects of life\, creating a fusion of technology and my creative visions\, offering something truly unique and appealing. My approach to photography has evolved into one that considers conventional and innovative ways of creating images using a myriad of traditional photographic tools and newer technologies to produce images that appeal to both to the consumer and to the business-based client. My mantra is “Stop taking photos and\, start creating images.” \nThe reception follows a free workshop by the artist\, An Introduction to Smartphone/Tablet Photography.
