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 WINTER STUDIES: History of Photography
DESCRIPTION:Look Again: New Approaches to the History of Photography \nwith Christopher B. Steiner\, Ph.D.\nLucy C. McDannel ‘22 Professor of Art History and Anthropology\, Connecticut College \nFridays February 13–March 13\, with optional add-on Museum visit on March 20 \n$85 (Members 10% Discount); Participants choosing to attend the March 20 in-person visit to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum will pay a $10 group visit fee separately \nPurchase tickets here \nEach week this short course\, presented via ZOOM\, will explore new approaches to the history of photography by moving beyond the usual “greatest hits” to explore the medium’s overlooked practitioners and its entanglements in our everyday life. Together these sessions offer a fresh\, critical\, and innovative way to understand photography’s past and its ongoing power in the contemporary world. \nWe begin by examining the multiple inventions of photography\, from its technological origins in Europe in the 1830s to its “invented” assimilation into the history of art beginning in the United States a century later. \nFrom there we examine the ethics and politics of documentary photography by exploring the works of well-known photographers like Jacob Riis and Dorothea Lang\, as well as the unknown men and women who chronicled with their camera the peoples and cultures of their own communities. \nIn our third class session we dive into the uncanny world of spirit photography and so-called “hidden mother” portraits\, as we consider ways in which photography can capture both the visible and the invisible. \nThen we turn to the rich terrain of “vernacular” or amateur photography\, asking what our family snapshots and anonymous albums reveal about ourselves and social life? \nFinally\, we conclude by looking at the fascinating intersection between photography and painting\, highlighting the ways in which the two mediums have overlapped and complemented each other – through painted backdrops in studio portraiture; painted foregrounds in arcade or carnival photography; and the painted photograph itself\, images enhanced\, tinted or entirely transformed by the application of pigment and paint. \nAn extra optional bonus session will be offered on March 20 to take a guided tour of Photography and the Painted Image at the Lyman Allyn Art Museum\, an exhibition curated by Christopher Steiner and students in his class AHI 250: Perspectives on Photography. \nFEB 13: The Inventions of Photography\nFEB 20: Documentary Photography: Insiders vs. Outsiders\nFEB 27: Spooky Stuff: Spirit Photography and Hidden Mothers\nMARCH 6: What About My Snapshots?

SUMMARY:CERAMICS WORKSHOP: Make a Mosaic Tile
DESCRIPTION:Saturdays\, February 21–March 7\, 1–3pm \nwith Paul Halferty\, Master Potter and Co-Owner of Lily Work Tile\, Old Lyme \n$275 (Members 10% discount); limited enrollment \nPurchase tickets here \nExplore your creative side by making a 12″ x 12″ mosaic wall tile from start to finish. Use a prepared pattern or come up with your own design. Guided by local artisan Paul Halferty\, participants will work with earthenware clay and design\, cut\, glaze\, reassemble\, and grout a unique mosaic wall tile. All three workshop sessions will be held in the Hartman Education Center at the Florence Griswold Museum. \nThroughout the three-session workshop\, Paul provides personalized support to help students feel confident as they create a one-of-a-kind mosaic piece perfect for display. Paul guides students step by step through the entire mosaic-making process. This workshop is a great way to get started working confidently with clay\, learn new techniques\, and tap into your creative potential in a relaxed\, fun\, and friendly environment. \nPaul Halferty earned an BFA in ceramics from Tyler School of Art and Architecture in Philadelphia before working for the famed Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown\, PA. There he spent a decade honing his craft as mold-maker\, ceramist\, and teacher. Paul is a kindred spirit to the skilled American nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts Era craftsmen. According to Paul\, “They believed passionately in honest craftsmanship\, and the importance of creating beautiful\, well-made objects that can be used in everyday life.” Paul and his wife Esther own Lily Tile Studio in Old Lyme\, CT and produce artisan tile compositions for private homes and corporate installations. \nImage: Courtesy of Lily Tile Studio.\nThe Museum’s educational programming is supported by the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut; Connecticut Humanities; the Randolph and John Dirks Fund; the John and Kelly Hartman Foundation; the Sally Bill Children’s Education Fund; the Betty M.

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.
