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.

Over the years he became interested in how art appears in unconventional spaces\, noting how community galleries\, cafés\, and even Illinois poker rooms have been used to showcase local creativity.

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. She presently works out of her studio in East Dorset. \n\nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. The BHS offers its programs at no charge.

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.

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.”

SUMMARY:A Stopping Stones Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Margaret (“Peg”) Bowen was born about 1742 in or near Hadley\, Massachusetts. She was enslaved in Bennington by Stephen Fay from 1772 to 1778. On June 25\, 2022\, she will be remembered and honored by the people of Bennington\, Vermont. \nPeg lived and worked at Fay’s Tavern\, better known as the Catamount Tavern\, during some of the most important years of our state’s and our nation’s history. In 1778\, she was sold back to the Massachusetts farm where she’d lived before being sold to Fay. \nRecovering the lost\, discarded\, and sometimes intentionally erased stories of enslaved persons is a challenge. The Stopping Stones project seeks to unearth these stories\, remember the names of the enslaved\, and recognize their contributions to our communities as well as acknowledge and work to repair the legacy of slavery. In October of 2021\, Bennington Museum was awarded a Herbert and Louise Whitney Fund Community Preservation Grant from Historic New England as well as additional support from the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation to support placing a Stopping Stone honoring an enslaved person in Bennington. Since then\, a small group of Museum staff and volunteers has worked to collect information about early Black Bennington residents and to bring their stories to light. \nOn Saturday June 25th the Stopping Stone honoring Peg will be dedicated with a ceremony beginning at 10:00AM at the former site of the Catamount Tavern on Monument Avenue in Bennington\, followed by a reception at Bennington Museum. We invite the community to join us as we share and reflect upon Peg’s story. Guest speakers will include Paul Growald\, founder of the Stopping Stones project; Dr. Lisa Downing-Forget\, physician and Co-Chair of Southern Vermont Health Care’s Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging Committee; and Dr. Alfredo Medina\, Bennington College Vice President for Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion and College Diversity Officer. \nIn the case of rain\, the event will be moved to the Paresky Education Center at Bennington Museum. \nThank you to the trustees of the Village of Old Bennington and the current owners of the property associated with the Catamount Tavern for their support of this project\, and to the volunteers who have worked on uncovering Peg’s story and those of other enslaved people in early Bennington.
