SUMMARY:"Age and Beauty" a lecture/discussion with Sarah Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Why is it that an old house\, table\, or tree may appear beautiful to us\, while an old woman often does not? Age seems to augment beauty in many instances\, but not when it comes to the human form.  We humans create and appreciate various kinds of beauty\, we seem to enjoy and exploit youthful beauty—especially that of the young females of our species—to an extraordinary degree.  As a result\, this is a difficult culture in which to get old\, particularly—but not only—for women. \nIn this lecture/discussion\, Sarah will present some lively and accessible ideas and images that integrate aspects of aesthetics\, Jungian & Archetypal psychology\, Romantic poetry and Taoist philosophy which\, taken together\, suggest a different perspective on aging that applies to both men and women. \nSarah Jackson is a Jungian psychoanalyst\, visual artist and writer.  She has a private practice in Great Barrington\, and Hillsdale\, NY.  This presentation is part of her developing work on the different aspects of beauty.

SUMMARY:Jack and the Giant Beanstalk Written by Linda Daugherty in 1996 Performed by the Sandisfield Players and friends
DESCRIPTION:This play was written for the Dallas Children’s Theater Company\, one of America’s most prestigious children’s theater groups. In 1997-8 they toured the play to 45 major American cities. Our version is a lively mix of children and adults. The play has everything: a shipwreck\, the sad story of Jack’s lost father and the resulting family poverty\, Jack’s band of young friends; and the wily peddler who gets Jack to part with the family cow and remaining money for a bag of magic beans. BUT the beans really ARE magical\, and Jack climbs into the Giant’s world and meets the harassed\, constantly cooking\, normal-sized wife\, a crazy opera-singing lady harpist\, a gigantic neurotic golden-egglaying chicken and a mysterious prisoner in the Giant’s dungeon. \nThe Sandisfield Players are sponsored for the 2017 season by Brockman Real Estate\, Chapin Fish\, Broker – Owner \n\n\nTickets for events at the Sandisfield Arts Center are available online or may be purchased at the door on the night of the performance on a first come-first served basis. ONLINE TICKETS ARE RECOMMENDED TO INSURE A SEAT. \nChildren 12 and under are admitted FREE\, unless otherwise noted\, when space allows.

SUMMARY:Postponed to 2018 Remember the Alamo: A Presentation by George Wheeler\, Director of Conservation\, Columbia University; Research Scholar\, Metropolitan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed to 2018. Look for it next year when the schedule of events is posted. \nThe Alamo was conceived in the middle of the 18th century as a mission to convert Native Americans to Christianity\, much like several other contemporary missions along the San Antonio River. The structure took its prominent place in history on March 6\, 1836 when the several thousand strong Mexican army attacked the building complex and its inhabitants – killing all – including among others the famous frontiersman Davey Crockett. In the ensuing years much has changed at the Alamo and San Antonio\, and the emblematic building is now surrounded by hotels and such tourist attractions as the wellknown Riverwalk. However\, the building and its materials remain but in a fragile state. This presentation discusses the history of the Alamo and the nature of its construction and construction materials\, how those materials have altered over time\, how we understand them today\, and how to preserve them for the future.

We’ll take a look and heed the advice of Hannah Arendt and other very smart people. We might even search for symptoms in modern America. Val Coleman\, the poet laureate of Sandisfield talked about the history of poetry last year and will try his best to talk about the history of fascism this year

SUMMARY:Evening of Song with Music by Cole Porter to Benefit the Sandisfield Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:This special evening includes an intermission with prosecco and a resplendent dessert table. Cole Porter will always be remembered as the songwriter whose melodies are synonymous with the sounds and style of the Jazz Age\, seen and heard on the musical theatre stage\, and now part of the American Songbook. The beautiful voices of Kathy Lawrence\, Linda Mironti\, Brian De Lorenzo and accompanist Michael Rheault will bring these songs to the stage at the Arts Center. \nLinda Mironti\, soprano  \nLinda Mironti’s public singing career began in high school when she sang the national anthem every Friday night at the high school football games.  After 2 years majoring in music at Onondaga Community College she set off to Manhattan to try her hand at Broadway and the music scene. \nAfter moving to NYC she sharpened and honed her talents by doing the “New York singer/actor/waitress life she took classes at AMDA (American Music and Drama Academy)\, private singing and acting classes along with going on many auditions. \nIn the late 80’s Linda was invited to go to Italy for a month to sing\, and she stayed for 10 years.  She sang on Italian Television (RAI) as an American Female vocalist singing Italian songs in English for 2 seasons and other TV appearances. \nShe recorded 2 albums that are still sold throughout Europe and toured with Edwardo DeCrescenzo\, Nana Vasconselos and Donatella Retore and others as well as her own tours in cities and venues from Milan to Sicily where she performed mostly Blues\, Jazz and Rhythm & Blues and original pop material she wrote for herself and other artists. \nShe recorded and co-wrote the soundtrack for an Italian major motion picture “18 in a Week” \nLinda also worked dubbing Warner Bros. cartoons for Italian TV and gave voice lessons to expats living in Rome. \nIn 1991 Linda returned to the US\, and worked as female vocalist for Phil Philips Entertainment as well as party bands and worked with percussionist Robin Lobe in many Latin club appearances as well as in Cabaret venues in NYC. \nLinda has been performing her one woman shows all across the US including NY\, PA\, NJ FL and MA to much acclaim\, “she has found a sweet mix of story and song that includes a disarming candor which\, when married to an old-fashioned glamorous voice\, makes for a wonderful cabaret experience.”—Val Coleman\, Sandisfield Times. \nBrian De Lorenzo\, tenor \nBrian De Lorenzo\,singer\, professional actor\, recording artist\, and Talent America’s 2001 “Performer of the Year” has performed at clubs in New York\, Boston\, Chicago\, San Francisco\, and Provincetown\, and on cruise ships in Alaska and the Mediterranean.

SUMMARY:Gallery of Artists Setsuko Winchester
DESCRIPTION:In the Gallery: SEPT 2 – 25\, Setsuko Winchester\n\nOpening Reception : 2nd Sep 2017 02:00 PM\nDate of Show : 2nd Sep 2017 – 25th Sep 2017 \n\n\nLecture by the artist at 3 PM \nPhotos from the Freedom from Fear/Yellow Bowl Project will be part of the Photography Exhibition for the 75th Anniversary of FDR’s signing of Executive Order 9066 at the FDR Library and Museum in Hyde Park\, NY (Feb. 19 – Dec. 31\, 2017). Setsuko Winchester\, born in New York City of Japanese immigrant parents\, worked as a journalist\, editor and producer at NPR on shows like Morning Edition and Talk of the Nation before moving to Western Massachusetts in 2006 to pursue a life-long interest in ceramics and the visual arts. She also helped start the local newspaper\, The Sandisfield Times and contributed as managing editor and staff photographer. In 2015 those interests of art and journalism converged in a work called the Freedom From Fear/Yellow Bowl Project as a means of telling a story through clay. The story is first and foremost a personal journey of discovery\, second\, a journey into American history and third\, a physical odyssey that included two epic trips covering over 16\,000 miles across the US to some of the most remote parts of the country where 120\,000 people of Japanese ancestry were once imprisoned during World War II.

SUMMARY:Gallery of Artists Tina Castiblanco
DESCRIPTION:In the Gallery: July 1 – 29\, Tina Castiblanco\n\nOpening Reception : 1st Jul 2017 02:00 PM\nDate of Show : 1st Jul 2017 – 29th Jul 2017 \n\n\nARTIST’S STATEMENT \n“My experiences visiting and living in different countries have contributed to how my observations and memory of the local landscapes\, architecture and cultural encounters have entered into my artwork. I feel a constant\, yet non-conflicting dichotomy within myself\, and my art of the universal and the local. In this dichotomy I see the cultural\, iconographic\, geographic commonalities in the world; while still understanding the intrinsic uniqueness that exists within a place that enables a distinct ethnic and aesthetic experience.
