SUMMARY:LECTURE: Teaching as Transformation: Women\, Art\, and the Power of Education
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Sunday\, March 1 at 1pm for the Florence Griswold Museum’s inaugural presentation supported by the Anna Held Audette Modern Ruins Fund\nwith Erin L. McCutcheon\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Arts of the Americas Department of Art and Art History\, University of Rhode Island \nFREE but please register here \nHow can teachers change the story of art? McCutcheon reflects on the classroom as a historic site of feminist transformation that links generations of women as artists\, scholars\, and educators. Situating her ongoing work to expand the visibility of women in the arts within broader histories of artistic pedagogy\, McCutcheon will examine the vital role teachers have played in shaping younger generations of creatives and thinkers. Drawing inspiration from Anna Held Audette’s life and legacy\, she will discuss how teaching can serve as a catalyst for creative agency and social change and consider its critical role in shaping the future of the field. \nPlease note: This lecture takes place at The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center\, 500 Main Street\, Old Saybrook\, CT \nThe Anna Held Audette Modern Ruins Fund was established by her family in 2024 to honor the artistic focus and teaching of Audette\, a prominent precisionist painter of the later 20th century whose work shows that the triumphs of industry are only moments away from obsolescence. The Fund supports lectures\, workshops\, courses\, and special events that explore contemporary thinking about preservation and abandonment in the American industrial landscape\, and that honor Audette’s expertise in and teaching of printmaking and painting. \nImage: Photograph of Anna Held Audette\, c. 1979.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL LECTURE: Said in Stone: Edmonia Lewis's Sculptural Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Said in Stone: Edmonia Lewis’s Sculptural Legacy \nJeffrey Richmond-Moll\, Ph.D.\, The George Putnam Curator of American Art\, Peabody Essex Museum\, Salem\, MA \n$10 (Members 10% discount) \nPurchase tickets here \nJoin Jeffrey Richmond-Moll\, the George Putnam Curator of American Art at the Peabody Essex Museum\, for a behind-the-scenes look at the new exhibition\, Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone. In the 1860s\, Edmonia Lewis became the first sculptor of Black and Indigenous (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Her vivid\, naturalistic stone sculptures feature abolitionists and social reformers\, engage with Indigenous identity and community\, and give new life to religious and mythological figures. Following her death in 1907\, Lewis’s legacy endured in Black communities yet her contribution to American sculpture has largely been under recognized. Said in Stone is the first museum show of its kind to gather the full range of Lewis’s art alongside works by her contemporaries and the generations of artists she influenced. \nThe Florence Griswold Museum is planning a day trip to see this exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, MA on Monday\, May 18. Click here for more information. \nImage: Edmonia Lewis\, Hagar\, 1875\, carved marble\, 52 5/8 x 15 1/4 x 17 1/8 in.

SUMMARY:ART FILM AT THE KATE: Turner & Constable
DESCRIPTION:Frames in Film: Presented by The Kate & Florence Griswold Museum \n$17 (Members $15); ticket price includes box office fee. Visit katharinehepburntheater.org or call 860.510.0453 \nFloGris Members call 860.434.5542 x111 for discount code \nCelebrating the 250th anniversary of their births\, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies featured in a current groundbreaking Tate exhibition. Two of Britain’s greatest painters\, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other\, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealized depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Constable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia whereas Turner offered an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions.

SUMMARY:DAY TRIP TO NYC: Metropolitan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Study Day at The Met with Raphael and American Wing Guided Tour \n$150 (Members 10% discount); price includes round-trip transportation\, gratuities\, Metropolitan Museum of Art admission\, and guided tour \nPurchase tickets here \nJoin us for a day of artistic discovery at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This study day allows time for you to make the most of your visit to this world-class Museum. \nUpon arrival our group can self-guide the newly opened Raphael: Sublime Poetry\, featuring the artistic process of one of history’s most beloved and influential artists. This exhibition is the first comprehensive exhibition on Raphael in the United States\, bringing together more than 200 of the artist’s greatest masterpieces and rarely seen treasures to illuminate the brilliance of Raphael’s extraordinary creativity. A true titan of the Italian Renaissance\, Raffaello di Giovanni Santi (1483–1520)—better known as Raphael—matched ambition with lyricism to create works with both intellectual heft and emotional depth. In his short life of only 37 years\, he achieved such profound success as a painter\, designer\, and architect that he was regarded as the pinnacle of artistic perfection for centuries after his death. \nIn the afternoon\, we have a scheduled guided tour of the American Wing. \nBus departs from and returns to the Florence Griswold in Old Lyme with one additional pick-up location in Madison\, CT. Lunch is on your own. \nPlease note: to receive a Member discount you MUST be registered with an online account. Not yet registered?
