The Cornish Colony: Highlights from the Collection

Opening reception and curator’s talk June 19 from 4:30 to 6:00 pm

This exhibition at The Picture Gallery at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish, NH will highlight the collection of art by members of the Cornish Colony of artists. The Cornish Colony was an extraordinary group of artists, architects, writers, landscape designers, musicians and public figures who followed Augustus Saint-Gaudens to Cornish beginning in the 1880s.
    The public is invited to a Gallery Talk by Exhibition Curator, Dr. Henry Duffy at 5:00 pm, and an Opening Reception in The Picture Gallery from 4:30-6:30 pm., on Saturday, June 19, 2010. The reception and talk are free and open to the public.
    The 35 works exhibited, include paintings, prints, drawings, photographs,

2nd EXHIBITION
Rachel B. Hayes, 2009 Saint-Gaudens Fellow
Wild and Wary Ways
On view July 10 – August 3, 2010
Opening reception and artist’s talk July 10 from 4:30 to 6:00 pm

The season’s second exhibition in The Picture Gallery will feature the sculpture of 2009 Saint-Gaudens Fellow, Rachel Hayes., a New York City based visual artist. Using innocuous and readily available media such as fabric, Rachel creates spectacular environments of color and motion that are intended to be experienced both physically and psychologically. Utilizing hand-sewn, large scale components, these environments are populated with forms that share a dialogue with modernist painting, patchwork quilts, minimalist sculpture, land art and fashion design. In general, her work draws on a wide range of disparate references from Post-Painterly abstraction to traditional women’s textile work. Rachel’s Fellowship exhibition, Wild and Wary Ways, will include six new works created between 2009-2010.
    The public is invited to a Gallery Talk by the artist at 5:00 pm, and an Opening Reception in The Picture Gallery from 4:30-6:30 pm., on Saturday, July 10, 2010. The reception and talk are free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view daily 9:00 am to 4:30 pm from July 10 though August 3, 2010

The Park Theatre in Jaffrey

As part of the re-opening of the Park Theatre, which was built in 1922 and has been dark for the past thirty years, Trustees are creating a Fifth Mural to clebrate the future of the theatre in the twenty-first century. The Fifth Mural, comprised of 288 individual panels, is being created by artists and students and depicts life in the Monadnock Region. When completed it will be displayed as part of the Theatre's permanent collection.

Individuals, businesses, churches, and civic groups can be a part of this project by sponsoring a panel. Artists can help by donating their talent by painting a panel or two. Prepared panels are provided to artists by the Theatre.
