  • Speaker – Jill Pearlman “The Spies Who Came into the Modernist Fold: The Covert Life in London’s Lawn Road Flats”

    Bowdoin Professor of Environmental Studies Jill Pearlman casts new light on a 1934 modernist landmark in London designed by architect Wells Coates for clients Jack and Molly Pritchard. With the gradual opening of intelligence archives in Britain and Russia since the fall of the Iron Curtain, it has come to light that between 1935 and 1942, four prominent Soviet spies made their home in the building. Her talk explores the reasons why the spies chose the Flats as their place of residence. Based on extensive [...]

  • Speakers – Sandra Horowitz and Bobby Dealy – Saving Monarch Butterflies

    Bobby Dealy and Sandra Horowitz were in California and on a whim, visited the butterfly reserve at Pismo beach, since they were driving up the coast. It was a disappointment, but they decided to go up to Monterey Bay where they brag they are Monarch City. When finally finding the sanctuary they were told they were looking at an extinction event. The town commercializes monarchs but does not support the sanctuary, where they winter. This inspired Sandra's two trips to Mexico and research to further [...]

The book also provides a window into an era of the vast, largely unbroken fabled [...]

    "I am an artist based in Camden, Maine. Oil painting has been a wonderful way to explore and capture so many of the beautiful places I have had a chance to explore.

  • Katie Blaire St John

    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 [...]

Working as a shorthand reporter, lawyer, and author, Chesnutt published six [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • Art – Elizabeth Wood

    "My works from the last four years demonstrate my artistic development through college, and are an expression of a love for the mundane, inane, and whimsical. They exude humor, and are imbued with a directness that allows for no question of my focus, even if deeper intentions remain obscure. Through it all is a love for the act of creation." Art Opening & Celebration Sunday July 27th 4:00 pm
