Portraits of a Revolution
Wednesday September 16th at 5:30PM at the Old Webster Courthouse1 Court Street, Plymouth, NH, NH, 03264
This program explores American portraits painted and sculpted during the years leading up to, and the decades after, the Revolution. The ideals, values and virtues expressly stated in our founding documents are easily identifiable in these portraits once we know how to “read” them. We will examine portraits of founding “fathers” and “mothers,” as well as of lesser-known individuals, as documents that can be read like texts. We will also discuss the tradition of portraiture, and the influences of earlier art movements, artists, and artifacts, that inform these American portraits. Audiences will be introduced to, and practice, some skills of art analysis and learn how art works can reveal so much about a culture. Presented by Inez McDermott and made possible by a grant from US@250.
Artist Reception: Carol Cole
Thursday September 17th at 6PM
Carol Cole of Wentworth, NH, proves that creativity has no expiration date. After a fulfilling career as a New Hampshire state social worker and mental health counselor, she returned to her love for painting in retirement.
Her extensive travels visiting the art museums of Europe intensified her desire to paint. Additionally, she feels privileged to have learned to capture seasonal changes in painting classes instructed by Cheryl Johnson. Painting remains a beloved hobby that enriches her life and reflects her enduring appreciation for the beauty of ever-changing seasonal landscapes.
Join us at Pease Public Library on Thursday September 20th at 6PM for the Artist Reception. Light refreshments generously funded by the Young Ladies Library Association.
Everyone’s Trash with Duncan Watson Author Talk
Wednesday September 23rd at 5:30PM
Duncan Watson is a storyteller, waste management expert, and author frequently touring regional libraries and venues to speak about his hit debut memoir, Everyone’s Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds. In his engaging “trash talks,” Watson blends humor, eye-opening statistics, and personal anecdotes to reshape how communities look at consumption and recycling. Fun fact: long before his decades in waste management, Watson was a child voice actor who brought Charlie Brown to life in several 1970s Peanuts movies—a nostalgic background he also frequently highlights during his appearances!
