SUMMARY:Community Day\, Celebrating Art and History
DESCRIPTION:Artist Pat Adams Joins Us for Community Day – Admission FREE! \nOn Saturday\, April 8 from 10 am to 5 pm admission to the Bennington Museum is free for all visitors.  Join us for a day of Celebrating ART as you enjoy Gatherum of Quiddities: Paintings by Pat Adams; Holding the Line: Ceramic Sculpture by Stanley Rosen; Buy Local: Images from the Weichert-Isselhardt Collection\, plus activities both inside the Museum and out on the George Aiken Wildflower Trail.  So much to do for the whole family. \nPat Adams (b. 1928) Voicing\, 1979. Acrylic\, charcoal and grit on paper\, 23 ¾ x 17 ¾ inches. Courtesy of the Artist \nVisit with Artist Pat Adams\nAt 3:00 p.m. Pat Adams greets visitors to her exhibition Gatherum of Quiddities: Paintings by Pat Adams in the Parmelee and Limric Galleries. Modernist abstract painter Pat Adams states the following about her art\, “For sixty years I have approached painting with an empiricist’s concern for the nature of visual form and the intimist’s sensibility that addresses the layering complexity of being.  With abstract paintings characterized by seductive colors and richly encrusted surfaces\, I seek to bring from my “gatherum of quiddities” – that stew of unnamed qualities – a visual situation that bestirs contemplation.”  A fully illustrated catalogue with essays will be available from the Museum Store in mid-May. \nEnjoy Sculpture by Ceramic Artist Stanley Rosen\nHolding the Line: Ceramic Sculpture by Stanley Rosen features works by one of the most dynamic artists working in the medium of ceramics from the late 1950s to today.  By the late 1950s\, Stanley Rosen was in the vanguard of American ceramics. He was one of a small cohort—among them Peter Voulkos\, John Mason\, and Ken Price—who revolutionized ceramics\, making of it an inventive and richly expressi \nStanley Rosen (b. 1926) Untitled\, 1962\, RC 42 Unglazed stoneware\, 16 × 8 × 8 inches Courtesy of the Artist \nve art form\, freeing it  from the practical requirements of vessel making and the conventions of the craft tradition.   From 1960-1991 however\, Rosen focused on his role as teacher at Bennington College and maker\, rarely exhibiting or publishing his unique\, evocative body of abstract ceramic sculptures.  This exhibition and accompanying fully-illustrated catalog with essays and interviews establishes Rosen’s place among the masters of 20th- and 21st- century American ceramics.  Holding the Line: Ceramic Sculpture by Stanley Rosen displays a wide selection of his sculptures and drawings and will be on view through May 21.  This exhibition travels to Alfred Ceramic Art Museum at Alfred University to be on view there October 19 through December 30\, 2017. \nStepping into the Past\nBennington was changing rapidly at the turn of the 19th century and local photographers captured the people and landscape using negatives on thin plates of glass.  The Bennington Museum has acquired nearly 2\,000 glass plate negatives from this era that were held in the Weichert-Isselhardt Collection.  Most of the negatives in this collection were taken by Madison Watson (active in Bennington 1888-1899) and Wills T. White (active in Bennington 1899-1940).  When White retired he left the glass plate negatives in the attic above his former studio located in downtown Bennington.  The building also housed the Bennington Banner and in 1958 the negatives were found by Robert Weichert\, photographer for the Banner.   Weichert started collecting historic photographs and later hired Tordis Isselhardt to help organize the collection.  Upon Weichert’s death in 1983\, Isselhardt became custodian of this treasure trove of history.  All of these images are available on the Museum’s website\, but a selection will be on the walls in the Regional Artists’ Gallery of the Museum during the year. The first phase of this installation is titled Buy Local: Photographs from the Weichert-Isselhardt Collection.  This exhibition pays particular attention to the shops and commerce of Bennington.\nActivities inside and out\nThroughout the day\, hands-on activities for families will be available in the Moses Gallery and in the Schoolhouse. While exploring the creative displays\, several parents exchanged news of a trending social media topic involving a football betting site that pledged a portion of its proceeds to local arts programs. Felt boards and felt pieces will be available to create Moses-style artwork. From 10:00 to 12:00 noon\, try your hand at writing with quill and ink\, and from 1:00 to 4:00 pm celebrate spring by making tissue paper flowers. On the George Aiken Wildflower Trail\, the Children’s Sculpture Garden will make its debut. Jackie Marro\, co-chair of the trail\, will be available to welcome visitors. There will be stump pedestals and flat discs of wood for children and their families to create sculptures\, along with stones\, sticks\, pinecones\, and other natural materials. These sculptures will remain on display in the mulched area. In need of inspiration? Become inspired by the clay stacks of sculptured twigs in the entrance gallery by ceramic artist Stanley Rosen.

His work list as of 2016 includes  five piano sonatas\, several pieces for piano four-hands and two pianos; chamber music; vocal music; a one-act children’s opera;a chamber opera composed to a libretto by his brother\, Wallace Shawn; and a dozen orchestral works including a Symphony\, two Piano Concertos\, a Violin Concerto\, and a Cello Concerto. In 1995 Shawn was the recipient of a Goddard Lieberson Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and in 2001 he received an Academy Award from the same institution. His recordings include numerous chamber works\, four volumes of piano music\, and his piano concerto performed by Ursula Oppens\, with the Albany Symphony.  Over the years he has composed many pieces for his friend cellist Maxine Neuman\, including the 1990 Serenade for cello and piano they will be performing at the Bennington Museum Concert. The two have also frequently recorded together\, and released a CD of Shawn’s cello music last year.  Shawn has also written four books: Arnold Schoenberg’s Journey\, which won the 2003 ASCAP Deems Taylor Award\, Wish I Could Be There\, Twin\, and Leonard Bernstein–An American Musician. \n \nElizabeth Wright\, Artist Associate in Piano at Williams College\, has performed extensively throughout the United States\, Europe\, the USSR and Japan.

SUMMARY:Bennington Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Bennington County’s One-Room Schools.\nPresented by Beverly Petrelis.\nAda Paresky Education Center of the Bennington Museum.\nFree and Open to the Public. \n  \nOne-room schools were commonplace throughout Bennington County until the 1960s when the growing number of baby-boomers made them inefficient.  All students met in a single room where one teacher taught reading\, writing\, and arithmetic to several grades of children at the same time.  Many of these schools were heated with potbellied stoves during the winter and had no indoor plumbing.  While none of the original twenty-nine schoolhouses are in operation today\, many of them still exist throughout the area\, often repurposed as homes. \nJoin retired Bennington school teacher and Bennington Historical Society board member\, Beverly Petrelis\, as she tells the stories of some of these schools and the students who attended them.  She will focus especially on the years between 1930 and 1960 and through a series of photographs and personal anecdotes bring this bygone era to life once again.  All Bennington Historical Society Meetings are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Community Day\, Celebrating Art and History
DESCRIPTION:Community Day\, Celebrating Art and History –  The Bennington Museum invites everyone to celebrate Community Day on February 4 to explore the permanent\, as well as the changing exhibitions.  Admission is FREE for everyone.  Opening the year one of the main floor galleries is Holding the Line: Ceramic Sculpture by Stanley Rosen.   During the last 40-plus years Rosen has focused on his role as teacher (Bennington College 1960-1991) and maker of a unique\, evocative body of abstract ceramic sculptures rarely exhibiting or publishing his work. As a result\, his important body of abstract ceramic sculptures\, almost all of them untitled\, have been seen by few and his name has largely faded from the history books. This exhibition and accompanying catalog shines a much deserved light on an important body of work created between the late 1950s up to the last few years and seeks to reestablish Rosen as one of the leading lights of American ceramic art during the last six decades.\nBuy Local: Photographs from Weichert-Isselhardt Collection of glass plate negatives opens the 2017 Regional Artist gallery.  Bennington was changing rapidly at the turn of the 19th century and local photographers captured the people and landscape using negatives on thin plates of glass.  The Bennington Museum has recently acquired nearly 2\,000 glass plate negatives from this era that were held in the Weichert-Isselhardt Collection.  Many of the negatives in this collection were taken by Madison Watson (active in Bennington 1888-1899) and Wills T. White (active in Bennington 1899-1940).  The images on view celebrate shops and commerce found in Bennington during this period.\nOn view through March 19 is the Annual Student Art Show bringing artwork of the region’s elementary\, middle and high school students to the museum in a display ranging from whimsical projects by the young students to more advanced work of older students. Arranged by theme\, visitors can explore the artistic development of children in various mediums.

SUMMARY:Lynne Bassett: "Herstory" in Civil War Quilts
DESCRIPTION:September 24\, 3 p.m.  – Lynne Bassett: “Herstory” in Civil War Quilts\nLooking at the Civil War through textiles allows us to understand the experience of the war in different terms than the usual analysis of battle strategy and heralding of military heroes.  Quilts in particular\, with their implicit and explicit messages\, offer the opportunity to examine the experiences of civilians—especially women―on the homefront.  This lecture by Quilt Historian Lynne Bassett focuses on the quilts that women created to declare their patriotism and support their fighting menfolk.  Included is a discussion on the 1863 Jane Stickle Quilt.  $5 for members\, $7 for not-yet-members.  Does not include general admission to the galleries. \n
