SUMMARY:Touch Me\, Gently\, Group Show - Opening Reception - Free
DESCRIPTION:Dolls by Susan Flex Gilbert \nTouch Me\, Gently invites you to experience three-dimensional art through touch.  \nThis tactile exhibition features fabric arts\, papier-mâché\, and other touchable sculptures designed to soothe during turbulent times. Gently explore textures and forms with your hands\, engaging with art in an intimate\, calming\, and multi-sensory way. \nArtists include Bonnie Cordova\, Susan Flex Gilbert\, Christine Novak\, Jaye Alison and participants in the two-session Papier-Mâché Workshop (Sept 5 and 12).  \nAbout the artists (more to come) \n\n\n\n\n\nChristine Novak \nBy nature\, I am both an artist and an educator. My now-ancient undergraduate degree is in studio art with an emphasis in printmaking.  Later in life\, while teaching elementary school\, I returned for a Master’s Degree in Curriculum Development Using the Arts. This inspired me to teach the academic subjects using the arts. For example\, this allowed me to explore American history using music and recipes; to investigate math using dance and rhythm; or to create poetry as we examine science and nature. For me\, it was the perfect blend of lifelong learning and a creative process. At 73\, I haven’t stopped. Often\,  I just like to create for no purpose! \nThis past winter I created two papier-maché giraffes shown in the Knox Gallery Show in Monterey. They  are on their way to being full-sized creations. The next step is to calculate and create a frame for the bodies. Then build out the bodies with pool noodles\, wadded paper\, foam\, or whatever junk that works. Then cover them with papier-maché\,  paper-maché clay\, adding painted  features\, finally finishing with a clear waterproof acrylic. Eventually I hope to add them to my backyard.  If I could\, I would create a whole LIFE-SIZE ark for people young and old to climb on!\n\n\n\nSusan Flex Gilbert  \nAs an artist I am a painter. I graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 1981. \nMy work is about color\, pattern and storytelling with a little humor and irreverence thrown in. It takes a couple of different forms\, one being gouache on paper and the other 3D pieces constructed  out of roofing aluminum and plywood painted with either gouache or oils. I work in a cartoony figurative style inspired by such artists as Red Grooms\, Roger Brown and the Chicago Hairy Who. Other influences are outsider art\, gothic religious art and indian miniature painting. My subject matter runs from observations about American popular culture to portraits of people I know or admire to rooms which depict exaggerated scenes from my own life.

SUMMARY:Nazi Town\, USA. A Chilling Documentary Film by Peter Yost
DESCRIPTION:This film traces the rise and fall of the German American Bund\, exposing the fascist threat in 1930s America. Nominated for an Emmy and a Columbia-Dupont Award. \nWe are thrilled to have Director/Producer Peter Yost here to lead a discussion afterward. \nMore about the film: \nIn February 1939\, more than 20\,000 Americans filled Madison Square Garden for an event billed as a “Pro-American Rally.” Images of George Washington hung next to swastikas and speakers railed against the “Jewish controlled media” and called for a return to a racially “pure” America. The keynote speaker was Fritz Kuhn\, head of the German American Bund. Nazi Town\, USA tells the largely unknown story of the Bund\, which had scores of chapters in suburbs and big cities across the country and represented what many believe was a real threat of fascist subversion in the United States. The Bund held joint rallies with the Ku Klux Klan and ran dozens of summer camps for children centered around Nazi ideology and imagery. Its melding of patriotic values with virulent anti-Semitism raised thorny issues that we continue to wrestle with today. \nA limited number of reduced price community tickets are available.

SUMMARY:The Thistles Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Pictured: Jaye Alison Moscariello\, Bill Taylor\, Lesley Rosenthal\, Terry Keevil \nThe Thistles quartet is Terry Keevil oboe and duduk (Armenian oboe)\, Lesley Rosenthal electric violin\, Jaye Alison Moscariello vocals\, and Bill Taylor piano.  Their sound blends classical\, jazz and show tune influences in a unique and often unexpected way that is inspiring and a joy to hear.  In addition to many of Bill Taylor’s works\, they play works by Paul McCandless\, Terry Keevil\, and other composers and songwriters. \nWhile the musicians have each performed for decades\, this ensemble got together in 2024 and Rosenthal joined in 2025.  Taylor’s music is inspired by classical greats like Schumann\, Debussy and the “3 B’s”\, and by his exposure to jazz\, show tunes\, and other music of our times.  Keevil has several albums including one for the Duduk (Armenian oboe) which appears in Thistle concerts.  Rosenthal is a poet as well as musician\, and directs The Julliard School.  Our name comes from the energizing\, liver-supporting thistle drink Jaye makes and which some of us drink before performances and all of us at other times.  With thistle\, lemon and apple\, it alkalinizes the body. \nTerry Keevil (oboe\, duduk) has been a member of the Manhattan Chamber Orchestra and Choir of Sacred Music\, and performed with Lazar Gosman’s Tchaikovsky Orchestra as well as the Bach Aria Group. For over thirty years he was a member of the chamber group\, North Shore Pro Musica. Terry was also part of the Constellation Trio with Linda Wetherill\, flute and Steve Salerno\, guitar. Terry has performed and recorded with cellist David Darling and released a CD of original duduk music titled “Duduk Creations”. He received a DMA in oboe performance from SUNY/Stony Brook where he studied with Steve Taylor\, and an MM from SUNYSB where he studied with Ronald Roseman. As an undergraduate\, he attended Amherst College for two years and received a BA from Sarah Lawrence College\, where he studied with Ronald Roseman. Terry and his wife\, Sarah\, moved to West Stockbridge from Long Island in the Summer of 2023.  Terry performs regularly in a variety of ensembles and solo appearances. \nJaye Alison Moscariello (vocals) is a visual artist and singer who recorded on both of Bill’s albums\, trained with Rosa D’Acri and performed at Durham (CT) Grange and with Anderson Valley Chorus\, led Laura Nyro tributes\, and numerous concerts with Bill. She has been a professional painter in a variety of media since 1973\, shows internationally as well as locally\, directed several short films including From the Ashes about fire recovery in California. She’s a volunteer on the Gallery committee of the Sandisfield Arts Center (organizer of their International Film Festival and Art Show) and New Marlborough Meeting House Gallery. \nLesley Rosenthal plays in several groups and is an accomplished electric violinist based in New York and Otis MA.  She is Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary of The Juilliard School. Previously she served as EVP\, General Counsel & Secretary of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York. Rosenthal graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School\, served a six-year term on the Harvard University Board of Overseers and chaired its Arts & Humanities committee. She is the author of the bestselling book\, Good Counsel: Meeting the Legal Needs of Nonprofits (John Wiley & Sons 2012) and co-librettist of the jazz opera\, Dear Erich. As immediate past President of the NY Bar Foundation\, she led the organization through a 3-year strategic plan period with the Rule of Law as its central theme.  Together with the Nigerian actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde\, she co-presented a panel on arts and the rule of law at the 2017 World Justice Forum. Rosenthal is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the founding board chair of Friends of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music\, which in 2021 galvanized international support for the rescue of all 273 members of the Afghan music school from peril at the hands of the Taliban. \nBill Taylor (Piano) is a composer\, pianist\, and market gardener/farmer and radio show cohost with Jaye\, living in Sandisfield MA.  Members of the Ukiah Symphony\, with Bill on piano\, performed several of his works in March 2019. He played in the Soul Purpose Band from 2012 to 2020\, was church pianist and organist from 2004 to 2020 in northern California and from 2022 to present in West Stockbridge\, MA. While in California he performed and recorded with wind player Paul McCandless and jazz flautist George Husaruk.  His farming and environmental awareness and involvement inform his compositions. He studied composition at Cornish School and with composer Ken Benshoof\, piano with his father Arnold Taylor\, Harriet Shirvan in Boston\, and jazz pianist Jerry Gray in Seattle. His music was featured in several films produced by Jaye Alison Moscariello. In June 2023 and again in 2024 he was a composer at the Mostly Modern Festival (MMF) where his chamber pieces Regenerate\, Heal\, Cool\, Normalizing Evil and others were performed.  He attended the Screen Music Program in Pavia\, Italy in August 2025\, an introduction to writing for film and video games. \nLimited number of reduced price community tickets @ $10. \n
