SUMMARY:CANCELED - Anne Sullivan\, a BHS presentation by Phyllis Chapman
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 15\, 2020\n2:00 pm\nFree and open to the public\nThe Bennington Historical Society presents\nAnne Sullivan with Phyllis Chapman \nAnne Sullivan couldn’t have had the odds stacked against her any higher. Born in poverty\, orphaned and partially blind\, she was sent to live in a gruesome poor house. After graduating from the Perkins School for the Blind in Boston\, she took on a formidable task: educating the young deaf and blind Helen Keller in Alabama. That she succeeded was not a miracle but the result of taming an angry frustrated child and using innovative teaching methods that enabled Helen to learn and communicate. Helen\, with Anne’s assistance\, graduated from Radcliffe College and became an accomplished writer and humanitarian. Together she and Anne advocated for educational opportunities for people with disabilities. \nNot only does Ms. Chapman present the life story of Ms. Sullivan\, but involved the audience in the process. \nPhyllis Chapman is the founder of Vintage Ladies Presentations which offers living history presentations of strong women who have made a difference. \nAll programs of the Historical Society are free and open to the public. The Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. \n  \n

SUMMARY:BHS Presents Don Miller Speaking on Religion in Early Bennington
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 16\, 2020\n2:00 pm\nFree and open to the public\nOn Sunday\, February 16 at 2:00 pm\, Bennington Historical Society presents\nDon Miller on\n“Religion Comes To Bennington:\nFrom the Puritans to the Separatists” \nThe settlement of Bennington in 1761 was an extension of the Puritan migration that began in Boston in 1630. Local historian Don Miller will trace that path through Massachusetts to Connecticut and eventually on to Bennington. While discussing the early settlers’ commitment to building a new community\, he made an unexpected connection to modern cultural trends\, likening their efforts to ranking systems\, much like 카지노사이트 순위 seen in online platforms today. Just as settlers evaluated the best locations for churches and meeting houses\, ranking them by suitability and promise\, contemporary tools assess digital spaces for quality and reliability. When these “separatists” finally arrived in Bennington\, they set aside land for a minister and constructed a church\, showcasing the organized prioritization that shaped their governance. This program delves into how these settlers’ values influenced their migration and their determination to establish a cohesive society in the Vermont wilderness. \nDon Miller\, the current President of the Bennington Historical Society is a long-time resident and a student of Bennington’s history. He is a Vice President of the Vermont Historical Society and active in the Old First Church in Old Bennington. He is a retired lawyer and an insurance broker in Bennington. \nAll Bennington Historical Society programs are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:FREE Community Day at Bennington Museum
DESCRIPTION:Scott Borofsky (b. 1957)\nKing on Throne\, 1984\nEnamel on cement\nEast 6th Street between Avenues B and C\nBennington Museum – Free Admission for Everyone!\nThis Community Day is sponsored by Price Chopper’s Golub Foundation.\nFrom its beginning\, Bennington Museum has collected documents\, objects\, and art that reflect the region’s\, and state’s\, rich history. This continues today. Without turning its back on the deep historic roots of the town and region\, the Museum has taken a new look at more recent works created by regional artists\, as well as working towards the goal of making the Museum a more welcoming and forward-thinking institution in line with our changing times. Many new works have found their way into the Museum’s collection\, while others are on loan to the Museum for you to enjoy\, and many of the exhibitions are representative of more people as we continue to work toward being a place that represents all of Bennington’ (and the state’s) faces. \n\nJoin us on Saturday\, February 1 when admission to Bennington Museum is FREE for everyone from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Visit all the new exhibitions and possibly interact with some of the student artists who are invited to come in and pick-up their Certificate of Participation in the 2020 Annual Student Art Exhibition. \nFeatured in the Regional Artists Gallery through May 10 is Gritty Streets to Green Mountains: Paintings by Scot Borofsky.\nScot Borofsky has navigated an artistic journey divided between the Green Mountains of southern Vermont\, where he grew up and has lived and worked much of his adult life\, and the gritty streets of New York City\, where he had a vibrant career as a street artist from the early 1980s into the mid-1990s. In addition to his home bases of Vermont and New York\, Borofsky has traveled extensively in Mexico and Central America. His work draws on a deep well of visual precedents and inspiration\, from the patterning and pictographic motifs of ancient and indigenous cultures that he has encountered on his travels and the mountainous landscapes of Vermont\, Mexico and Central America\, to his fellow Street Artists\, with whom he worked side-by-side during his year in New York City\, as well as the masters of Modernism. This exhibition illustrates the development of Borofsky’s work over the last 40 years\, ranging from early spray paintings created in the streets of New York City\, looking like modern day ancient ruins\, to his more recent paintings created in his Brattleboro studio\, which incorporate an evolving language of complexly layered symbols and the gestural language of paint. \n  \n \nOpening in the Works on Paper Gallery is (re)Sounding\, on view through May 25.\nArtist/musicians and co-curators of this exhibition Angus McCullough\, Jake Nussbaum\, and Adam Tinkle bring new life to old instruments. Each musical instrument in the Bennington Museum collection has its own unique story\, but have remained silent for decades. McCullough\, Nussbaum\,  and Tinkle work with the museum’s curatorial staff to meet the instruments where they are\, using their current state to generate new sounds. The exhibit explores the histories and traditional sounds of the instruments and provides opportunities to hear them brought back to life in new compositions. \n \nOf course the kickoff for 2020 would not be complete without the annual Student Art Show (through March 12) 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. Visitors can explore the artistic development of children as they address a particular topic or by age grouping. Ceramic work\, paper sculptures\, and more complement collage\, pastels\, and pen and ink drawings. This exhibit runs through March 10 and is on view in the Parmelee and Limric Galleries. \nComing Soon:\nMarch 28 – June 10 – Love\, Marriage\, and Divorce  The highs and lows of love and heartache\, from Victorian wedding gowns to scandalous tales of sexual harassment. \nJune 27 – November 3 – Robert Frost\, “At Present in Vermont”  Frost’s life and work as a poet and farmer in Bennington County\, 1920 – 1938. \nBennington Museum is a member of ArtCountry\, a consortium of notable art and performance destinations in the scenic northern Berkshires of Massachusetts and southern Green Mountains of Vermont\, including The Clark Art Institute\, Williams College Museum of Art \, Williamstown Theatre Festival (20 minutes away); and MASS MoCA (25minutes away). Visit ArtCountry.org for more information on these five great cultural centers. \n\nWe thank our sponsor

DESCRIPTION:Sunday November 17\, 2019\n2:00 pm\nFree and open to the public\nOn Sunday\, November 17 at 2:00 pm\, Bennington Historical Society presents Shays’ Settlement in Vermont: A story of Revolt and Archaeology.   \nIn 1786 farmers in Western Massachusetts protested against the collection procedures for taxes and debts by the State Government. Their aim was a peaceful rebellion forcing the courts to close. Mostly farmers \, many of whom fought in the Revolutionary War\, they faced imprisonment or confiscation of their land if they could not pay the steadily rising taxes. Led by Daniel Shays\, a veteran of Bunker Hill among other battles\, these protesters were called Shayites or Regulators. In 1797. A force of 1500 Shayites attempted to take over the Federal Armory in Springfield\, MA. Defeated many were taken prisoner or were killed. A few \, including Shays\, escaped to Vermont. Where they sort protection from Sheriff Galusha of Shaftesbury. He refused and they moved on to Sandgate\, a wilderness\, where they established a settlement close to the New York border. \nA local rumor for years the settlement was rediscovered in 1997 and under study since 2013. Stephen Butz\, teacher of Archaeology\, Earth and Environmental Science at Cambridge Central School\, leads students every year at the dig. He will talk about the archaeological investigation\, and the influence Shays had on American Law. Maybe he knows if Shays and his followers actually hid out in Everett’s Cave on Mount Anthony. \nAll Historical Society programs are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Community Day at Bennington Museum
DESCRIPTION:Bennington Museum – Free Admission for Everyone!\n\nOn Saturday\, September 28 from 10 am to 5 pm admission to the Bennington Museum is FREE for all visitors and the lineup for engagement is outstanding.   The day’s events  focus on issues of Civil Rights and Diversity in Vermont in connection with Fields of Change: 1960s Vermont\, Visible in Vermont: Our Stories\, Our Voices\, and Bennington Museum’s participation in the 2019 Vermont Reads Program.  Visible in Vermont: Our Stories Our Voices is presented by The Root Social Justice Center’s project “I Am Vermont Too” and the Vermont Council on the Humanities. \n10:00 – 11:30 Reception and Panel Discussion for Visible in Vermont: Our Stories\, Our Voices\nView the exhibit from 10:00 – 10:30\, then proceed to the Ada Paresky Education Center where Sha’an Mouliert\, co-coordinator of the project and exhibition\, will monitor a panel discussion with some of the participants whose work is in the exhibition. \n2:00 – 4:00 Vermont Partnership for Fairness and Diversity presents Vermont Vision for a Multicultural Future. Participants discuss building inclusive and equitable communities. Teaching awareness of Vermont’s economic\, education\, health\, and social welfare sheds light on underrepresented residents and the challenges that communities face when attempting to advocate for all. Appropriate for high school and adult audiences. \nVisible in Vermont: Our Stories\, Our Voices is supported by a grant from     \n  \nVermont Art Exchange Art Bus will be on site offering art-making activities. \nAND THERE IS MORE! \nIn the Regional Artists Gallery is the meticulous work of print maker Asa Cheffetz. His wood engravings served as printing plates and from those came beautiful prints\, many of them on view in Asa Cheffetz: Vermont Wood Engravings\, September 21 through December 30. Born in Buffalo\, NY in 1896\, he lived most of his life in Massachusetts\, and produced most of his highly detailed wood engravings in the 1930’s and 40’s. Inspired by the Vermont countryside\, his landscapes portray his strong affection for the land and his simple yet detailed blends of the hills\, sky and water. Expressed in rich blacks and stark whites\, negative and positive spaces\, he blended the strength\, and starkness\, of Vermont’s countryside with his own affection for the land. \nIn the Works on Paper Gallery from September 14 through December 30\, we are pleased to present Visible in Vermont: Our Stories\, Our Voices.  This multi-generational photo and story exhibit highlights the experiences of people of color living and going to school in Vermont. The project is a medium for People of Color (POC) to tell our own stories and convey the impact of racism on our lives.  The photos in this exhibit represent self-identified individuals of color living and going to school in Vermont. They highlight the intersectionality of the communities of color and their many stories. The quotes in the pictures are terms that have been conveyed since living in Vermont or are responses to terms\, questions or statements made towards People of Color that undermine them as a people and perpetuate racial stereotypes. The project was unveiled at the Vermont State House on Black Lives Matter Day February 9th\, 2017\, and exhibited during the month of February. \nIn the Early Vermont Gallery explore the installation of Miniatures and Small Portraits from the Museum’s collection dating back to the American Revolution. Featured in this display is a framed tintype of a painting of Lt. Jonathan Holton\, a soldier in the Battle of Bennington. A Lieutenant of the Nichols Regiment\, Holton was wounded at Bennington on August 16\, 1777. His wound is visible in the portrait also on view. \nStepping into the Museum\, art and history are all around\, and “creative collisions” can be found around almost every corner. Explore the permanent exhibitions such as Grandma Moses\, now featuring paintings never before on view\, Gilded Age Vermont\, the Battle of Bennington Gallery\, Bennington Modernism\, and one of the newer galleries Early Vermont. This gallery showcases over 85 major pieces and smaller items from the Museum’s extensive historical collection of over 30\,000 objects. \nAnd finally\, don’t forget to get your deep discounts in the Museum Store. Museum members receive 25% discount and Not-Yet-Members\, a 15% discount on their entire purchase. So much to do. Plan to spend the day with a picnic lunch on the hillside. \nBennington Museum is a member of ArtCountry\, a consortium of notable art and performance destinations in the scenic northern Berkshires of Massachusetts and southern Green Mountains of Vermont\, including The Clark Art Institute\, Williams College Museum of Art \, Williamstown Theatre Festival (20 minutes away); and MASS MoCA (25minutes away).

SUMMARY:Natural History
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 22\, 2:00 pm\nFree and Open to the Public\nGreat Music by Natural History\, a dynamic trio who embodies the improvisational essence of the 1960s. \n \nNATURAL HISTORY is a one of a kind ensemble. With a world of sound at their fingertips\, this trio of eclectic multi-instrumentalists has been breaking sound barriers since 1973\, weaving rhythms\, instruments\, and styles from every corner of the globe\, and every period of human evolution\, into an intricate and spontaneous musical tapestry. Jared Shapiro\, Derrik Jordan\, and Barry Hyman were all students of legendary percussionist Milford Graves in the 1970s\, where they learned the therapeutic power of improvisational music. They are able to mix the inspiration of the moment with their decades of experience playing music from all over the world to create a totally new blend of world fusion\, a “musical melting pot.” Featuring electric violin\, kalimba\, cello\, ngoni\, pedal steel guitar\, alto recorder\, banjo\, percussion\, surbahar\, balophone\, gourd trumpet\, voice\, and more\, NATURAL HISTORY is remarkable in that the musicians improvise vocally and instrumentally at the same time\, creating the illusion of more than three performers. Their music is wild\, unpredictable\, playful\, fearless and always resplendent with humor and joy. \nIt is appropriate that these three pioneers of world fusion are part of the Bennington Museum’s Fields of Change: 1960s Vermont exhibit because they embody the improvisational essence of the 1960s in Vermont\, and they have been using harmony to spread peace and love ever since. \nHeld in the Ada Paresky Education Center and Paul Paresky Court of the Bennington Museum\, this concert is free and open to the public thanks to the support of Alison Nowak and Robert Cane. Reservations are not required for this performance\, and it is accessible to those with disabilities. \n  \n

SUMMARY:BHS Presents David Redding\, Hanged in Bennington
DESCRIPTION:Sunday June 23\, 2019\n2:00 pm\nFree and open to the public\n \nOn Sunday\, June 23 at 2:00 pm\, Bennington Historical Society presents David Redding\, Hanged in Bennington. This talk is given by historian Phil Holland and held in the Ada Paresky Education Center of the Bennington Museum. It is free and open to the public. \nBackground \nOn June 11\, 1778\, Loyalist David Redding was hanged on the Bennington town green for “inimical conduct.” Ethan Allen\, having been recently released from a British prison\, served as State’s prosecutor. It became Vermont’s first hanging. Holland tells the story of Redding’s trial and execution which was only the beginning of his odyssey through history. Denied burial in 1778\, Redding’s bones were not interred until 1981. In the meantime\, his case had caught the attention of the founding Director of the Bennington Museum\, John Spargo. Spargo published a small book on the subject in which he accused the Vermont authorities of a miscarriage of justice. With the help of unpublished material prepared by Bennington historian Joe Parks\, this talk sorts through the evidence and reflects on the passions aroused by the case. \nPhil Holland has written about the Battle of Bennington\, Robert Frost\, and other subjects of historical and literary interest. He is currently touring the state lecturing about “The Black Presence at the Battle of Bennington” through the Vermont Council on the Humanities Speakers Bureau. \n  \n
