DESCRIPTION:Museum ABCs: The Museum and Me on the Map\nMaps help us understand where we are and how to get to where we are going.

As always\, Linda from the Bennington Free Library will bring great books to share! \nMuseum ABCs is a collaboration of Bennington Museum and the Bennington Free Library designed for children ages 3 to 5 and their adult companions. The program is brought to you free of charge thanks to sponsorship from The Bank of Bennington and additional support from Stewarts Shops and the Nora Robert Foundation.

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]

The New Haven based trio is: vocalist and songwriter John “Spigs” Spignesi on guitar\, with Joe Jeffery (bass) and Matt Alling (drums). Together they hang out\, genre-wise\, at the more rocking side of the New England regional Jam Band festival and club gig scene\, and like to consider what they share as “Music For Your Soul.” Since their formation\, the band has released recordings from full studio albums to fun one-off releases like their Halloween take on Edgar Allan Poe’s\, “The Raven.” With hundreds of gigs under their belts\, the band has had breakout performances at Strange Creek Campout\, as well as the iconic Yasgur’s Farm in Bethel NY\, where they celebrated the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. \n[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9GAFayn3UA[/embedyt]

She has had the privilege to teach poetry workshops (2000-2010) on the Navajo Nation at Little Singer Community School in Bird Springs\, Arizona.

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. 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. For the past several years his work has focused on the creative process and its social and cultural crosscurrents\, a theme that has shaped both his exhibitions and the more than 40 shows he has curated with students at institutions ranging from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute to MCLA Gallery 51. \nAbout Chard deNiord \nChard deNiord was Poet Laureate of Vermont from 2015 – 2019.
