SUMMARY:Music at the Museum presents Songs of the Supernatural
DESCRIPTION:Music has always been used to evoke the thin spaces between life and death\, animal and human\, and other phenomena beyond normal description. Versatile singer Kerry Ryer-Parke will explore songs of the supernatural\, ranging from her background in traditional ballads to classical art song\, jazz\, and rock. She will be joined by colleagues and friends Joseph Alpar (santouri\, voice)\, Virginia Kelsey (voice)\, Yoshiko Sato (piano)\, Peter King (guitar) and Cynthia Mangsen (voice and guitar) to cast a spell over your Halloween weekend. \nNote: The starting time for this concert has been changed to 1:00 so you can attend it and the North Bennington Halloween Parade (which starts at 3:00). Feel free to wear your costume to the concert! \nKerry Ryer-Parke grew up without a television in the shadow of her parents’ folk club\, hosting performers who sang the old weird songs from Scotland\, England and Ireland. She and her twin sister Kelly developed an appetite for fairy tales and the macabre\, and when they weren’t making potions in the woods out of leaves and berries or cursing noisy neighbors\, developed a reputation at folk festivals for their close harmonies and uncanny unison singing. A graduate of Bennington College\, Kerry is a performer of many musical styles\, from oratorio\, opera\, early music and new work to folk\, jazz and rock. Trained in classical performance\, Kerry  is also certified in LoVetri SomaticVoicework and the McClosky method for non-classical styles. She has been the Director of the Bennington Children’s Chorus since 1994 and the Bennington Voice Workshop since 2002. She joined the Music Faculty at Bennington College in 2013 and has been an Artist Associate in Voice at Williams College since 2000. As soprano soloist she has appeared with many orchestras and choirs in the Vermont/New York/Massachusetts area. She is the lead singer and bass player of the rock band The Prescription. Kerry’s interest in music and peacebuilding has led to training with Musicians Without Borders and the School for International Training\, and travels to Sardinia\, Corsica\, Bosnia\, Greece and Cyprus. She is currently in training to be a certified Alexander Technique teacher at the Balance Arts Center in New York. \nMusic at the Museum is presented to you at no charge thanks to the generous support of Alison Nowak and Robert Cane and the Vermont Humanities Council.

This event has been cancelled. \nJoin Bennington Museum curator\, Jamie Franklin\, for a tour of the Bennington Center Cemetery (also known as the Old First Church Cemetery). Early New England cemeteries are underappreciated treasure troves\, akin to open air museums\, filled with some of the most important examples of stone sculpture created in America during the period of the Revolution and Early Republic. The Bennington Center Cemetery is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful in our state. The cemetery tour will introduce you to gravestones carved by some of the most prominent stonecutters active in this area from the 1760s through the 1830s\, including Zerubbabel Collins\, the Manning Family\, Samuel Dwight\, and the Rule family\, and provide insights into the early stone cutting industry in our region. The program will begin in the museum’s Early Vermont Gallery and finish in the Bennington Center Cemetery\, located immediately adjacent to the museum.

SUMMARY:Norman Rockwell's Models
DESCRIPTION:Join author Steve Haggerty as he shares his recent book\, Norman Rockwell’s Models\, In and Out of the Studio. \nThe book is based on extensive interviews. It is unique because it goes in-depth into the models’ experiences in the studios and their personal relationships with Norman. That same fascination with private worlds—seeing the unfiltered sides of people—is what drives interest in features about the best UK non Gamstop casinos\, where the focus is often less on the mechanics and more on the personalities and atmospheres behind the scenes. It features many never-before seen photos of the Rockwell family as well as candid photos of the models. \nHaggerty grew up with the models in West Arlington\, Vermont\, working and socializing with many who appear in Rockwell’s most iconic paintings. Norman’s sons\, Tom and Jarvis\, and the Rockwell Family Agency\, assisted with his research. \nThis presentation is included FREE with your Museum Admission.

SUMMARY:The Hills of Home
DESCRIPTION:Vermonters have strong ideas about the importance of their mountain topography. Where did our pride in Vermont’s landscape come from\, and why is it that we see our shared identity as rooted in the land? Evolving human ideas about the Vermont mountains form the base of this lecture. \nThe story begins with the state’s founders and moves forward through Vermont history to explain how environmental understandings changed over time. This lecture by historian Jill Mudgett is timely and relevant in its relationship to current interdisciplinary scholarship and offers us tools to understand the origins and meaning of our own strongly-held attachments to the Vermont landscape. \nThis talk is free\, open to the public\, and accessible to those with disabilities. The Hills of Home is a Vermont Humanities program hosted by 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 Vermont Humanities.)

SUMMARY:The Many Meanings of Maple
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines the many meanings of maple sugaring. Maple is enormously important to Vermont’s economy\, ecology\, and heritage. Champlain College professor Michael Lange will discuss sugaring ethnographically\, based on over five years of research among sugarmakers all over the state\, to learn from them what sugaring really means to Vermont. \nRather than discussing the practical aspects of sugaring\, such as how to tap a tree or how an evaporator works\, his talk focuses on how and why maple has become so important to Vermont’s identity\, and how and why it helps us shape who we are as Vermonters. \nDr. Michael Lange is a professor of anthropology and folklore at Champlain College in Burlington. He has authored several academic works on cultural identity. His recent work draws on research with sugarmakers across Vermont and includes “Foodie Influence on the Culinary Meanings of Maple Syrup” and “Sweet Bedfellows: Continuity\, Change\, and Terroir in Maple Syrup”. His most recent book\, Meanings of Maple\, is available from the University of Arkansas Press\, Phoenix Books\, and other sources. Meanings of Maple was recently named a Choice “Outstanding Academic Title”. \nThis talk is free\, open to the public\, and accessible to those with disabilities. The Many Meanings of Maple is a Vermont Humanities program hosted by 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 Vermont Humanities.)

SUMMARY:Summer Sampler Class for Youth
DESCRIPTION:Summer Sampler Class for Youth\nSaturdays\, July 1 through August 19 for children ages 7 to 17\nIn the 1800s\, needlework was an important part of a girl’s formal education. Girls as young as 7 years old produced needlework samplers that proved their ability to write their letters and numbers and complete different types of stitches. \nThis class offers children and young people a chance to learn the art of needlework samplers\, working at their own pace. Girls and boys ages 7 through 17 are invited to join – no experience required! \nThe class meets every Saturday July 1 through August 19 from 10:00AM to 12:00PM\, in the Grandma Moses Schoolhouse at Bennington Museum. Participants will learn how to use a needle and thread to complete the provided sampler kit. Working in class and on their own throughout the week\, they will see what they can achieve. Each student will submit whatever amount of stitching they have been able to produce at the end of the summer for display in the Schoolhouse in the fall. \nFees are $85 per student for Bennington Museum Members or $100 per student for Not-Yet-Members. Price includes 8 classes and all materials. \nRegistration for this class is now closed.\nLead instructor Michele Pagan 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\, “saving history one piece of fabric at a time.” She has a particular interest in early American samplers and the stories they can tell us. 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.

SUMMARY:Concerts in the Courtyard: The Outcrops
DESCRIPTION:CONCERTS IN THE COURTYARD\nWe are pleased to announce that Bennington Museum has received an anonymous grant once more for 2022\, plus additional support from the Golub Foundation. Performances will begin June 3rd and run through September 2nd\, 2022\, and will be free of charge. \nAll events take place from 5-7pm. \nPlease bring your own blankets or lawn chairs! \nThe Avocado Pit will set up shop in front of the Museum’s gates\, serving delicious tacos\, beer and wine. \nIn the event of rain\, the event will be cancelled by 2pm on Fridays.

Kids of all ages will find a fun makerspace at the picnic tables where they can create art based on art and objects featured in the Museum. \nThe Outcrops\nFrom the woods of Northern New Jersey\, the Outcrops bring original blues-infused rock’n’roll. The four-piece band was formed in 2016 by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Cassidy Rain & lead guitarist Bryan Schroeder. As a singer\, Cassidy has been compared to Bonnie Raitt and Susan Tedeschi but her raw sensibility as front person could as easily bring comparisons to blues legends like Howlin Wolf or Muddy Waters. Bryan’s playing falls somewhere between Duane Allman and Derek Trucks\, as many fans have pointed out. Bryan has also noted Jerry Garcia as a major influence. His long flowing lead lines throughout songs intertwine with Cassidy’s vocal phrases to create a very melodic sound that sets the tone for The Outcrops. The rhythm section of the band includes Jason Casanovas on bass and Max Adler on drums. Both Max and Jason bring a funk and soul feel that melds beautifully with Cassidy and Bryan creating the perfect band tag: Rock & Roll\, Blues & Soul. \n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6W1_ryFoA0[/embedyt]

With a hauntingly beautiful\, lilting soprano and innate sense of melody she crafts tales of songbirds\, sirens and desert nomads – nuanced and layered stories which bridge the gap between past and present. Though her influences cover a broad range of genres – from French chansons and Russian folk to contemporary alt-pop and rock – her voice often draws comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell\, Jeff Buckley\, Angel Olsen\, and early St. Vincent. \nOpening for acts such as Mitski\, Cautious Clay\, Sean Rowe\, Mikaela Davis\, Saint Saviour (Groove Armada)\, Bill Ryder-Jones (Arctic Monkeys)\, Joy Ike\, Winterpills\, and Heather Maloney\, she has performed at venerated venues like The Linda Performing Arts Center\, Proctor’s Theatre\, Rocky Mountain Folks Festival\, and the Roundhouse Theatre in London. \nIn 2015 she was a finalist at the Telluride Troubadour Competition; a showcasing songwriter on the main-stage at Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons\, CO; a semi-finalist in The 2015 Great American Songwriting Contest; a finalist in July 2016’s SolarFest Songwriter Showcase; a showcasing artist at August 2016’s MusikFest\, the country’s largest free music festival; and a performer at Brooklyn’s famous Northside Festival. \n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDPbdOtgtH4&list=PLLH9j5FBy2MIDY6mg85of4NBTFHPNxTuh&index=2[/embedyt]
