SUMMARY:What's New About Jane Stickle?
DESCRIPTION:What’s New About Jane Stickle?\nwith Pam Weeks\nIn 2013\, the 150th anniversary year of the making of the Jane Stickle quilt\, Pam Weeks came to Bennington Museum to examine and do further research on the iconic Civil War quilt. In this live\, virtual presentation\, Pam will reveal the results of her research and shed light on the life of the Vermont farm wife who made an incredible quilt. \nAbout the Presenter:\n \nPam Weeks’ love for quilts began at the time of the United States Bicentennial in 1976. Pam made traditional and then art quilts\, but in 1991 she fell in love with antique quilts and began an exploration of quilt history\, women’s history\, and textile history which continues. Her published work on signature quilts and potholder quilts is found in the American Quilt Study Group’s peer reviewed journal “Uncoverings” and in 2011\, she published with co-author Don Beld\, Civil War Quilts; and with Sandra Sider in 2019\, Deeds Not Words\, Celebrating 100 years of Women’s Suffrage. Her next book Portable Patchwork will be out in January of 2022.  \nAs the Binney Family Curator of the New England Quilt Museum she works with quilters\, collectors\, institutions\, and co-conspirators to plan exhibits and conduct research on the quilts in the museum’s collection.

In the 1960s\, the Bennington Museum mounted three hugely successful Moses exhibitions\, which prompted them to install a permanent gallery devoted to the artist’s work. In 1973\, the museum annexed the one-room schoolhouse attended by Moses\, supplementing her art with memorabilia provided by her family. \nJane Kallir’s talk will examine Moses’s ties to the local community\, the evolution of the Moses gallery at the Bennington Museum\, and her and her family’s role in promoting the artist. \nAbout the Presenter:\n \n\nJane Kallir. Photograph: © Julienne Schaer \nKallir is Director of the Galerie St. Etienne and President of the Kallir Research Institute\, both in New York City. The gallery\, founded by Jane’s grandfather\, Otto Kallir\, gave Grandma Moses her first show in 1940. The Kallir Research Institute is a non-profit foundation dedicated to furthering Otto Kallir’s scholarship. It is presently in the process of updating the Grandma Moses catalogue raisonné\, which it plans to publish online. Jane Kallir has authored four books on Grandma Moses and curated Moses exhibitions for over two dozen museums in the US and Japan. \nHow to Participate:\nBennington Museum Members: $12\nNot-Yet-Members: $15\nAll registered participants will receive a recording of the program. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:1800 and Froze to Death: The Cold Year of 1816
DESCRIPTION:1800 and Froze to Death: The Cold Year of 1816\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\n1816 has long been known as the year without summer. Vermonters still call it “1800 and Froze to Death\,” a year of frosts every month\, dark skies\, and mysterious lights that caused a widespread belief that a higher power was displeased. \nThis talk includes scores of anecdotes about the dark year of failed crops\, scarce food\, and religious revival. The horrible weather also came in the aftermath of the War of 1812\, which produced shortages and an economic crisis. \nVermonters coped with the cold year with neighbor helping neighbor. But some greedy merchants sought to exploit shortages by charging higher and higher prices. \nThe cold year seems to have hit Vermont harder than any other state. But the effects of the disaster were very much worldwide. In Europe\, visitors to the continent mistook bands of beggars along the roadways for invading armies. And out of it came literary accomplishments\, including a grand poem by Lord Byron and a dark novel by Mary Shelley. \nAbout the Presenter \n\nA seventh-generation Vermonter\, Howard Coffin is the author of four books on the Civil War: Something Abides: Discovering the Civil War in Today’s Vermont; Full Duty: Vermonters in the Civil War; Nine Months to Gettysburg; and The Battered Stars\, as well as Guns Over the Champlain Valley\, a book on military sites along the Champlain Corridor. \n\nBennington Museum requires the use of a face mask that covers both the mouth and the nose at all times while inside the building. Thank you for helping to keep all of our visitors and staff healthy. \n1800 and Froze to Death: The Cold Year of 1816 is a Vermont Humanities Council program hosted by the Bennington Historical Society of Bennington Museum. (Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or VHC.) \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum.

SUMMARY:Another World: Poetry & Art by Young People
DESCRIPTION:Postponed! Rescheduled to May 14.\nAnother World: Poetry & Art by Young People from the Poetry Studio\nIn 1995\, Ann Gengarelly opened The Poetry Studio\, a place where people ages 7 to 17 could engage deeply with nature and tune into their own inner creativity. \nIn this presentation\, Ann and her husband and collaborator Tony\, are joined by Vermont Poet Laureate Chard deNiord (2015-2019) and former Poetry Studio participants to discuss young peoples’ poetry and art as a significant creative practice with important personal and social consequences: compassion and connection; inclusion and diversity; nurturing and healing community. \nIn Fall 2021\, Tony and Ann published Another World: Poetry & Art by Young People from the Poetry Studio\, a 224 page book containing 150 poems and drawings created by participants. Selections from the book are on display in the Museum Lobby\, and the book is available from purchase from the Museum Store. \nThis event is open to all and free of charge. \nAbout Ann Gengarelly \nSince 1980\, Ann Gengarelly has been a poet-in-the schools throughout Southeastern Vermont and neighboring Massachusetts and New Hampshire. She is Director of The Poetry Studio at her home in Marlboro\, Vermont\, where during the past twenty-five years she has offered after-school programs in poetry and art for students from kindergarten to eighth grade. The Studio also runs summer workshops for young people (age 5-17) that feature poetry\, art\, and bookmaking with a focus on the natural world. Since 2002\, Ann has taught studio creative writing classes for adults as well. Gathering together\, participants ranging in age from their 20s to 70s create a rich and extraordinary community. She has had the privilege to teach poetry workshops (2000-2010) on the Navajo Nation at Little Singer Community School in Bird Springs\, Arizona. In many ways the indigenous practice of community—the inclusion of young people with elders—has informed the composition of her Studio classes. For seven years Ann was a Faculty Associate at Hampshire College where she offered courses such as “Creativity and the Young Child” and “Integrative Seminar: The Creative Process.” She has been a consultant for the Integrated Day Program at the University of Massachusetts. Using poetry as a model\, Ann has designed and presented professional development workshops for teachers at Lesley University\, Bank Street College\, and the Antioch NE Graduate School of Education. Ann holds an MA degree from Goddard College in creativity and education with an emphasis on poetry-in-the schools. She received an honorary degree for Teaching Excellence from Marlboro College in 1988. \nAbout Tony Gengarelly \nTony Gengarelly is Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. Along with survey courses in American Civilization and Western Art History\, his teaching career has included literature\, political science\, modern and decorative art\, and museum studies.He has also taught on the Navajo Nation and introduced Diné weaving and sandpainting\, along with the Santero art of the American Southwest\, to his college students. For the past several years his work has focused on the creative process and its social and cultural crosscurrents. Since 1999 Tony has taught art and bookmaking for The Poetry Studio’s summer workshops. He has been drawn especially to the “outsider” features of young people’s art: its unfettered focus and originality; its direct communication of complex ideas and emotions through color and line; its use of word and image with creative and powerful expression. Tony has curated individually or produced with his students over 40 exhibitions. Some of these have been featured at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williams College Museum of Art\, MCLA Gallery 51\, Brattleboro Museum & Art Center\, Endicott College\, Eastern Michigan University\, Wheaton College\, and the 94 Porter Street Gallery at MCLA. Tony holds a Ph.D. in American and New England Studies from Boston University and a MA from Williams College in the history of art. \nAbout Chard deNiord \nChard deNiord was Poet Laureate of Vermont from 2015 – 2019. He is the author of six books of poetry\, In My Unknowing (University of Pittsburgh Press 2020)\, Interstate (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2019)\, The Double Truth (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2011)\, Speaking In Turn with Tony Sanders\, Gnomon Press\, 2011\, Night Mowing (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2005)\, Sharp Golden Thorn (Marsh Hawk Press\, 2002) and Asleep In The Fire (University of Alabama Press\, 1990). He is also the author of two books of interviews with eminent American poets: Sad Friends\, Drowned Lovers\, Stapled Songs\, Conversations and Reflections on 20th Century Poetry (Marick Press\, 2011) and I Would Lie To You If I Could  (University of Pittsburgh Press\, 2018). He has co-founded a number of writing programs. He retired from teaching at Providence College in 2020\,where he is now Professor Emeritus of English and Creative Writing. He serves as board member of the Sundog Poetry Center in Vermont\, is the essay editor at Plume Poetry Journal\, and lives in Westminster West\, Vermont with his wife\, Liz.

SUMMARY:How to Do House History
DESCRIPTION:How to Do House History\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\n“Owning an old  house is both a privilege and a responsibility.” \nThose of us who own an old house\, and simply support Historic Preservation in all its forms truly believe this. \nOur speaker this month will present the process for researching the history of one’s own home\, or office building – no matter how old it is.  Michele Pagán\, and her husband\, John\, have bought and restored 7 homes during their marriage and during John’s career as a submarine officer for the US Navy. Michele will present information\, based on her personal experience of researching their most recent and present home here in Vermont\, using all the primary documents which she was able to find. She will share information from the State of Vermont\, which allows private home owners to get their home registered with the State\, even if it is not within a designated State historic district. All are welcome to attend and bring their questions. \nAbout the Presenter \nMichele Pagán is a recently-returned native Vermonter\, who spent her childhood in Bennington. Bennington Museum was her first exposure to the work of museums. Today she is a textile conservator in private practice who likes to say that she is saving history one piece of fabric at a time. A practicing conservator since 1984\, her previous clients and employers include the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\, The Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of American History\, the U.S. Department of State\, Mount Vernon\, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello\, the State of Vermont\, and the Bishop Museum in Honolulu\, HI\, among others. She holds a certificate in Museum Education from Tufts University\, and she just completed the Smithsonian Institution’s online certificate for the C3 Framework for Teaching Social Studies.

SUMMARY:Discover Marion Huse's Pownal
DESCRIPTION:Discover Marion Huse’s Pownal\na driving tour\nWhile not well-know today\, Marion Huse was an artist who achieved a degree of success unusual for a woman of her day\, founding and operating the Springfield Art School from 1925 to 1940 and serving as supervisor of WPA art projects for western Massachusetts from 1936 to 1938. \nBeginning the mid 1930s\, Huse spent much of her time painting in Pownal\, Vermont where she first spent summers and weekends\, and then eventually lived full time until the early 1960s. This tour\, which complements the Museum’s exhibition Marion Huse: Painting Pownal (on view April 1 – June 22) will take you to several of the locations that served as inspiration for her paintings.

SUMMARY:Corner of India
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome veteran Bennington-based home chef\, Shanta Ghosh to serve her authentic Indian cuisine from the Museum courtyard on Sundays through the summer. \nOrder in person\, or call or email in advance to have your order ready to be picked up. Cash only please. \nView Menu Here \nShanta grew up village cooking with her large household in Nayabasat\, India\, preparing large meals for visitors\, farm workers\, and family. Even though they were cooking for many\, it always felt like a home cooked meal and the hard work paid off with the simple pleasure of seeing people full and happy. What first began as a necessity evolved into something more. \nShanta brought her love of cooking with her to Bennington\, VT where she’s prepared many delicious meals with family and friends. Eventually she decided it was time to share her Corner of India with everybody. If you’ve ever had one of her flavorful dishes\, you’ll very quickly agree it’s a passion worth sharing. Since then\, she’s catered for large clients including The Vermont Arts Exchange\, Powers Market as well as a host of private affairs. When asked why she loves cooking so much\, she shared\, “It’s fun and it feels like I’m doing something good. I love offering food that not everyone has the opportunity to have\, it’s nice to see someone happy with such a simple thing.”
