SUMMARY:Discovering Natural Wines
DESCRIPTION:What is natural wine?  Natural wine is unfiltered\, untamed and un-photoshopped wine made in the vineyard rather than the winery.  John L. Grammer\, partner in the wine import company Skin Contact Wines\, will guide you through a wine tasting of natural wines.  Treat your palate to a riot of flavors. \nGrowing up in New York City\, John Lawrence Grammer spent his Saturdays biking through Chinatown in search of delicious food and new experiences. After graduating from Harvard\, he hit the streets to learn about wine and food. Tasting a bottle of Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d’Abruzzo 2001 with a generous client sealed the deal. John completed the WSET Level 4 Diploma in the Wine and Spirits program and has begun studying for the Master of Wine entrance exam. \nFresh glasses will be used for each pour.  The hors d’oeuvre table will be monitored to ensure safe food practices and social distancing will be observed. \nThis is how John and his partner Ricardo Castiblanco describe what makes their wines special: “Skin Contact Wines imports wines from organically farmed vineyards.  We believe the best wines come from grapes that are farmed attentively.  Organic viticulture represents a return to the basic tenets of farming and a respect for natural processes. Some of our producers choose to go beyond organic principles and utilize biodynamic practices to further promote a healthy microbiome on their properties. Wherever a producer falls on this spectrum of farming in harmony with nature\, we want to support their hard work.” \nSkin Contact Wines come from France\, Italy\, Spain\, Georgia (the country)\, and Chile. See a list of producers. \nFor the health and safety of our audience\, our performers\, and our volunteers\, we are now requiring that all people age 12 and over who enter the Sandisfield Arts Center be fully vaccinated and wear a mask that covers both nose and mouth – except when drinking or eating at this event.  \nWe have limited the audience to about half of capacity in order to allow for adequate spacing between groups. Please be aware of this when you purchase a ticket.

SUMMARY:Joel Brown and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Live music returns to the Sandisfield Arts Center in this special performance rescheduled from our 2020 (delayed) anniversary year! \nJoel Brown is no stranger to the Sandisfield Arts Center.  As a classical guitarist\, he has appeared many times as a soloist and chamber musician.

SUMMARY:Gallery Show: Paintings by Jess Cofrin - Free
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception 2 – 4 PM October 2. The show continues through October. Contact gallery@sandisfieldartscenter.org if you’d like to arrange a visit. \nArtist Statement: “I am an oil painter and printmaker exploring the psychology and physicality of being human. I use paint as my primary medium because the saturation of color helps convey the emotional feelings I put into the work. Color has long been a driving force in my pieces\, and my interest in printmaking lies in the spontaneity and unpredictability of the medium. My current work explores what it means for a body to occupy space and how the body adapts to its surroundings. Sometimes the figure is present\, and sometimes it is felt but not seen. When I became a mother\, I had a more heightened sense of my relationship with the physical space around me. Sitting in dark rooms\, my body no longer fully autonomous. Also\, as a more general comment on human psychology: how does our self-perception affect how we occupy the space around us\, and how does it affect our identity?” \nJess Cofrin received her BA in Art History from Cornell University before moving to London to pursue fine art at Chelsea College of Art and Design. She completed her MFA in painting from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Her work has been exhibited in New York\, San Francisco\, Atlanta\, and London. She currently lives and works in Berkshire County. \nThe exhibit will be on view through October.

SUMMARY:Blackstone Valley String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:The Blackstone Valley String Quartet gets its name from the quaint small-town area of central Massachusetts where owner and founder Sylvia DiCrescentis has lived and worked for most of her life. For sixteen years\, the members of the BVQ have played together in various orchestras and small groups\, honing their skills and developing a unique bond as professional performing musicians. \nThe Blackstone Valley String Quartet will be presenting a program of Baroque and Classical Era composers for string quartet. The program will feature works by Vivaldi\, Haydn as well as Maddalena Sirmen (1745-1818). Sirmen is a female composer and a contemporary of Haydn. She was an Italian composer\, singer and violinist who studied violin with Giuseppi Tartini. The Blackstone Valley Quartet is excited to present this program of hidden gems for the Sandisfield Arts Center audience. \nSelections will include lesser known works from Vivaldi\, works from the father of the string quartet Haydn as well as six quartets from the lesser known composer Sirmen. \nThis event is made possible with the very generous support of Steve and Lynn Rubenstein. \nAll Fall 2021 events at the Arts Center are subject to change based on latest CDC guidelines. We anticipate operating at reduced capacity for social distancing\, and asking audience members 12 and over and performers to bring proof of vaccination; everyone must wear a mask.  \nTickets go on sale September 1.

SUMMARY:Words of Our Ancestors: Revisiting IndianTown with Bonney Hartley
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this fascinating talk by Bonney Hartley\, Tribal Historic Preservation Manager for the Stockbridge-Munsee Community\, on the ongoing efforts to protect Mohican and Munsee (Lenape) cultural sites and to repatriate cultural items. \nThe mission of Ms. Hartley’s organization is to preserve\, manage\, and interpret indigenous cultural heritage.  She works from an extension office at Williams College. \nSandisfield is directly connected to people who lived here long before English colonists arrived in 1750.  For centuries Mohican villagers from an area centered around the New York/Massachusetts border came via their ancient trail (“Knox trail” today) that led directly to hunting grounds in the vicinity of Otis State Forest and Spectacle Pond.  Arrangements of stone monuments considered sacred have been identified\, legacies from a vibrant indigenous society. \nTheir descendants are federally recognized today as the Stockbridge-Munsee Community. \nBonney Hartley\nProof of vaccination\, masks\, and social distancing required. Free; Donation suggested. \nMs. Hartley is in great demand as a representative for her community.  This is a one-time event\, not to be missed. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:"Our Town at the Minack" A film documenting the preparations by the Sandisfield Players and their trip to the Minack Theater in Cornwall\, England
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to present the long-awaited premiere of this film by Jerry Herman as the opening of our “in the Arts Center” performance season! \nOur Town by Thornton Wilder was first performed by the Sandisfield Players at the Arts Center in 2013. On a trip to Cornwall in 2014\, Ben Luxon\, the producer and director of the show\, mentioned to his friend\, Phil Jackson\, the manager of the Minack Theatre\, that he was directing the show in the States\, and Phil asked him if he wanted to perform it there. Ben agreed\, and the performance was scheduled for the summer of 2016. Inasmuch as the Minack is an outdoor venue\, and its stage is twice the size of the stage at the Arts Center\, arrangements were made to rehearse at the Sandisfield firehouse. \nThis film\, produced by Jerry Herman\, chronicles the play’s development from our local indoor theater to a much larger\, world-famous outdoor theatre in England\, and the historic trip made by the Sandisfield Players to perform it there. Running time is 90 minutes. \nAll Fall 2021 events at the Arts Center are subject to change based on latest CDC guidelines. We anticipate operating at reduced capacity for social distancing\, and asking audience members and performers to bring proof of vaccination or a recent negative test\, and to wear a mask.  \nEnjoy the trailer from the film now.\n \n

SUMMARY:Gallery Show: Into the Woods - Free
DESCRIPTION:Photographs by Peter Baiamonte \nArtist’s Statement: “Into the Woods” is a photographic exploration of Sandisfield’s own Clam River Reserve\, a part of the Berkshire Natural Resources Council’s preserved lands. I started making photographs in this park in 2017 and have continued to explore it through all seasons. Primarily landscapes\, this series has been an exploration of how the light moves through the trees\, how to find compositions in the forest that are compelling\, how the river moves through the land. My hikes alone in this space with my camera have opened up a whole new appreciation for me of wild spaces. I hope viewers of the show will feel some of that in the work shown here.” \nBorn\, raised\, and still living in Brooklyn\, New York\, Peter came to photography through his father who was a lifelong hobbyist. After receiving an art degree from Brooklyn College\, he entered the commercial photography world in New York City and continues photography as his primary business for corporate\, editorial\, and advertising clients. Peter and his wife purchased a home in Sandisfield over seven years ago and have enjoyed becoming part of the community.  Local clients include Berkshire Magazine with multiple shoots over the years\, including several covers. \nMasks are required in the Gallery and social distancing is followed. \nThe exhibit will be on view through October 1. \nCheck with gallery@sandisfieldartscenter.org to arrange a visit after the opening reception.

SUMMARY:Roger Street Friedman Band Outdoor Concert - Bring a blanket or a chair!
DESCRIPTION:Roger Street Friedman is an award-winning singer-songwriter based in Sea Cliff\, NY. His critically acclaimed 2017 album Shoot The Moon reached #2 on the Roots Music Report Americana Country Album Chart. \nRecalling the pop-rock singer-songwriter tradition of Jackson Browne\, Marc Cohn\, Randy Newman\, Colin Hay\, Bruce Hornsby\, and Mark Knopfler\, Friedman released “Sun Never Sets” in 2019 – a song and video dedicated to immigrants and immigration reform.  Collaborating on the project were Peter Yarrow\, Tom Chapin\, Joel Rafael and Guy Davis.  His third-full length album\, RISE\, produced by Larry Campbell was released in 2020 followed by his most recent EP\, COME WHAT MAY in July 2021. \nThe concert will be on the grass (mowed and ample) of Arts Center Board member Peter Baiamonte at 3 New Hartford Road at Sandisfield Road/Route 57.

It will be a great event\, but it won’t be that long! \nMore about Roger: \nRoger Street Friedman was bitten by the music bug early\, learning to write songs(at the age of 12) and developing his studio engineering skills. His life took a left turn in his early 20’s and he left music for a career in his family’s retail display business for about 25 years. But a combination of events during the mid-’00s — the passing of his father and mother\, marriage and\, later\, the births of his two children — steered Friedman back to music\, leading to the acclaimed 2014 debut THE WAITING SKY and 2017’s SHOOT THE MOON. “Those life events really kind of opened the floodgates for me to start writing again\,” he notes. \nRoger has performed at the Clearwater Folk Festival\, Huntington Folk Festival and The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (Grassy Hill Emerging Artist) as well as touring up and down the Northeast\, Mid-Atlantic and South.  Friedman performed at the 2019 NERFA conference in a coveted “formal” showcase\, and is currently planning his 4th studio album for 2022 and happy to be coming to Sandisfield to kick off getting back on the road and performing for a live audience again! \nSponsors \nFlora Parisky\, a donation in memory of Sean Carr 9/19/69 – 10/24/20 \nMatt McCuin/Matt McCuin Landscaping \nFloodgate Farm \nDomaney’s Liquors and Fine Wines \nNote that you will be able to pay with a credit card – click the PayPal button at Checkout\, you’ll come to a page where you can enter your credit card info.

SUMMARY:Gallery Show: Light Tells the Story - Free
DESCRIPTION:Saturday July 31 the artist will be at the Gallery from 2 to 4 PM. \nPaintings by Mel Feldman \nMel Feldman began painting with watercolors and then took up acrylics\, as he found acrylics are more forgiving\, and it is easier to correct the work. He prefers to paint people and uses vintage photographs for inspiration\, as these often tell a story. Most important to Mel is the light and the interplay with the placement of the figures. He is also inspired by Vermeer and his use of light. The impressionists — Monet\, Renoir\, Corot\, and Pissarro — have contributed to his vision and the paintings he creates. He lives in Otis. \nThe opening reception will be outdoors and the Gallery show will be open to small groups for safe social distancing. \nThe exhibit will be on view weekends or by request through August 22. \n \n

SUMMARY:Outdoor Sculpture Show - Closing Saturday July 31
DESCRIPTION:Update: Last day to see the show\, Saturday July 31! \nOpening was Sunday JULY 4\, 4 to 6 pm\, on account of rain and chilliness. \nOn July 4\, how would you like to– \n\nGather safely with friends including many you have not seen since early 2020?\nView wonderful sculptures in a beautiful Sandisfield field?\nSupport the Arts Center while having fun?\n\nThe beautiful field belongs to Liana Toscanini\, former Arts Center president\, longtime Sandisfield resident\, and current Executive Director of the Nonprofit Center of the Berkshires. Toscanini suggested the exhibit as a safe way to fundraise for the Arts Center this summer. \nCome to 186 Sandisfield Road (Route 57)\, see the map below. \nThe sculpture show will be open on weekends during the month of July.  A COVID-safe opening reception will be held on Sunday July 4 from 4pm-6pm.  Families welcome! $20 suggested donation for adults. The Arts Center is the recipient of all proceeds from the show. \nA wide walking trail around the perimeter of the field contains semi-circular cut-outs for the sculptures. A golf cart is available for those unable to navigate walking. \nSandisfield is home to several sculpture artists\, many of whom will be featured in the exhibit. \nThe Sandisfield Arts Center is the recipient of all proceeds from an outdoor sculpture exhibit taking place in July in a 5-acre field on Route 57 in Sandisfield. “Field Day” artists hail from Massachusetts and Connecticut\, with many from Sandisfield and neighboring towns. The opening reception is now July 4th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. “Field Day” will remain open on weekends throughout the month of July. Admission is “pay what you can” with a suggested donation of $20 per person for adults. \n“This is a safe\, outdoor event that uses the arts to bring people together again\, after 15 months of pandemic-related hibernation\,” said Toscanini. The Sandisfield Arts Center has suffered major event-related revenue loss\, like many arts organizations across Berkshire County. “It’s a nice\, mission-centric way to help\,” said Toscanini. \nExhibiting artists include Robert Adzema\, Nick Crofut-Brittingham\, Bill Cummings\, Erika Crofut\, Susan Crofut\, Sophie Eisner\, Jamie Goldenberg\, Nancy Johnson\, Jaye Moscariello\, Robert G. Osborne\, Bevan Ramsey\, Jon Riedeman\, Richard Rook\, Karl Saliter\, Robin Tost\, Natalie Tyler\, Peter Vacchina\, Gar Waterman\, Robert Wilk. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening\, Reception and Show: Peter Hason Photography - Free
DESCRIPTION:Support our artists! Follow Peter on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/phasonation/ \nThe outdoor opening and reception is from 4 to 6 PM  on June 5 (rain date June 6).  The exhibit will be on view weekends or by request to gallery@sandisfieldartscenter.org through July 4. \nPhotography by Peter Hason \nArtist’s Statement: “My photographs are typically taken from low angles so the perspective is that of looking up\, which lends an air of reverence and veneration to the subject matter. As Oscar Wilde said\, ‘We are all in the gutter\, but some of us are looking at the stars.’ My work in this exhibit focuses on the highly organized and intricate parallel and juxtaposing lines that emerge in the cityscape when the chaotic rhythm of city life is momentarily muted.” \nAs a native New Yorker who spent his youth plugged into the street culture of the ’80s and ’90s\, Peter Hason’s photography reflects his life-long personal relationship with the landscape\, architecture\, and people of the city as he captures the quiet but breathtaking beauty in the ordinary and everyday. \nThis show\, delayed from 2020\, is dedicated to the memory of longtime Sandisfield Arts Center volunteer and Gallery committee member Jane Hason. The opening reception will be outdoors and the Gallery show will be open to small groups for safe social distancing. \n

SUMMARY:My Life in the Most Amazing Scientific Program You've Never Heard of: 50 Years of Scientific Ocean Drilling
DESCRIPTION:FREE online illustrated lecture by Wesleyan Professor Suzanne OConnell. \nProject MOHO\, an ill-conceived plan of the early 1960’s to drill through the Earth’s crust\, did not turn out well. But it did have the beneficial effect of spurring the development of  scientific ocean drilling. Although a rose by any name might be as sweet\, the multiple names (DSDP\, ODP\, IODP) associated with scientific ocean drilling over the years have unfortunately lessened public awareness of this remarkable international scientific endeavor. \nWhatever you call this program\, it has an impressive record of achievement: scientific ocean drilling helped to prove plate tectonics\, developed the discipline of paleoceannography\, and has recovered life in the deepest recesses of Earth’s ocean crust. Learn about its origins\, contributions to understanding Earth’s history and its future plans. \nSuzanne OConnell has been involved in scientific ocean drilling since the mid-1970’s and has spent 16 months at sea on its ships exploring Earth’s history as recorded in ocean floor sediments. \nDr. OConnell is a professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Wesleyan University and researches paleoclimate. She is the recipient of the Association for Women Geoscientists Outstanding Educator Award\, and author/co-author of over 100 refereed science publications\, primarily focused on paleoclimate research and gender equality. \nLast minute attendees?
