William L. Brault, Professional Techniques for Matting and Framing Photographs

Green Street offers writers a night to share works-in-progress, socialize and seek out constructive comments. Readings are limited to prose short stories or excerpts under 10 minutes. Open mic sign up begins at 7pm, readings begin at 7:30pm. Each evening will be limited to six readings, with time for one-on-one feedback and sharing afterward.

The works in this exhibition reflect the visions of Swedish women who broke from their traditional roles of women, mothers and homemakers to explore their creativity as textile designers, weavers, painters, sculptors and glass artists. Their art resonates with dream-like images of free-flying birds evoking flight and escape from domestic confinement, year-round idyllic visions of midsummer blossoms, and spare Nordic landscapes filled with greenery, water, space, and light.  

Women's Work, Women's Dreams celebrates a remarkable legacy from a country whose art and artists are little known to American viewers.  The Benton Museum is grateful to Samuel and Ann Charters for sharing their extraordinary collection of Swedish Art and Art Glass and for curating this exhibit.

Three decades of wars have deeply marked the entire culture of Afghanistan, yet artistic expression, particularly through carpets, has been maintained in spite of hardships including displacement to refugee camps.  

In traditional Afghan carpet-weaving, patterns tended to be geometric or floral, reflecting the Islamic rejection of anthropomorphic depictions.  However, by the mid-1980s, in response to the 1979 Soviet Invasion, Afghani weavers, principally women, were creating carpets that showed Russian tanks, helicopters and guns.  The subtle geometric borders often contained rows of bullets and grenades.  Most recently, these "war carpets" have included references to the American conflict and even to 9/11.  Although many of the carpets have Arabic or Persian woven into their designs, the Afghani who created them found a market for these rugs in the West.  In part this may be presumed anti-war sentiments but also, while the rugs are generally traditional in design and relatively inexpensive, they are nonetheless a contemporary artistic expression of a century old craft.  

In this exhibition of over fifty contemporary Afghan carpets showing both war and traditional designs, the rugs offer a commentary on modern Afghan history and, in their maintenance of a vibrant tradition, a measure of hope for the future.

Hunt Hill Farm invites you to “A Home Town Holiday” at The Silo Gallery, the theme of this year’s 37^th annual Christmas tree beginning Saturday November 7^th, at 44 Upland Road, New Milford, CT.  View the 27 ft. towering tree decorated with hand-crafted wooden ornaments by folk artist Joy Gaiser.  Adorning the tree are 21 well-known New Milford buildings, over 40 snow-capped pine trees and a moon with the silhouette of Santa and his eight reindeer at the top.  Gaiser’s garland of festive picket fences and snowflakes made by 4^th graders at Sarah Noble Intermediate School add the finishing touches to this spectacular tree!  The New Talent Gallery will feature artist Diana Luscombe for a second year, displaying her “Healing Strokes” paintings and a new line of note cards.  Silo tastings from The Silo Cooking School will be served throughout the exhibit’s opening day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Joy Gaiser and her father started “Handmade by Dad and Me” in 1985 consisting mostly of Christmas ornaments, wooden jewelry, birdhouses, home decorations and historic buildings of New Milford.  After her father passed away in 1997, Joy’s husband John took over the task of cutting the wood, formerly her father’s job, so the business could continue and renamed it “Dad and Me Too”.  The husband and wife team with the help of their daughter and Joy's sister worked over a year to complete the ornaments in time for this year’s show.  Over 200 additional ornaments and decorations made by the artist will be for sale in The New Talent Gallery.

Diana Luscombe’s acrylic paintings continue to be inspired by scenes from nature.  Her study on birds has progressed with more sensitivity to detail compared with last year's paintings which were derived primarily from memory and imagination.  After a serious car accident over two years ago resulted in Diana being paralyzed, painting became an emotional release for her.  She is having fun with her new endeavor and is amazed at what flows from her paintbrush!  Prior to the accident, being an artist had never crossed her mind.  The gift of painting, Diana says is “an emotional and spiritual place for me to heal and let go because it’s peaceful.”   It also is much needed “me time” for the painter who is married with two young children, all who are extremely supportive of her efforts.  “Hannah is my biggest fan!  With Cole, I just have to keep his fingers out of the paint!”  Donations from her “Healing Strokes” exhibit will go towards a handicap accessible van for Diana.

This holiday season, plan on spending some extra time on the farm to see all that The Henderson Cultural Center has to offer.  Find your traditional Silo favorites like Marzipan Stolen and Holly Berry Wreaths under the tree.  View a slice of Skitch’s life touring The Skitch Henderson Museum.  Stop by The Silo Cooking School to register for a holiday cooking class including; Gingerbread House Making, Rick Rodgers’ Thanksgiving Bash, Christmas Cookie Workshops for all ages and more!  A Home Town Holiday is free and open to the public.  Hunt Hill Farm hours are Wed. through Sat., 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday’s noon to 5 p.m.  For more information, please call Valerie Culbertson, Silo Gallery Director at (860) 355-0300 or visit their website www.hunthillfarmtrust.org.

Constitution Plaza in Downtown Hartford will soon dazzle with more than a quarter-of-a-million tiny LED lights. Experience the magical illumination during the Opening Ceremony of the Hartford Festival of Light®. On Friday, Nov. 27 at 5:30pm, this annual holiday tradition marks its 46th anniversary. Since 1963, the event has drawn together thousands of area residents to officially kick off the season that celebrates community, family, and the magic of the holiday. The true spirit of the holiday will be experienced by all during this festive celebration.

The Hartford Festival of Light® ceremony, geared for all ages, will be co-emceed by WDRC personality Brad Davis and 96.5 WTIC’s Damon Scott, along with a special guest appearance by a Fox 61 personality. Headlining this year is a live performance by Connie Talbot, the eight year old singing sensation from Britain’s Got Talent™. Attendees will be able to see the actual tree lighting, as well as the festivities being projected onto a large sail on the plaza, which allow visitors to stroll and enjoy the events taking place. Special guest performers including the Hartford Children’s Theatre will delight with holiday dance and music and you may also catch a sneak peak of Santa’s travel as he makes his way to Hartford to help light the tree. Once the man in the big red suit arrives, he will greet children and lead them in song to magically light the tree together.

Pre-show activities include:
• A Children’s Lantern Parade, marshaled by Tiny Tim from the Hartford Stage’s production of A Christmas Carol, will process from the Connecticut Science Center to Constitution Plaza at 4:45pm;
• A reading of If I Had a Magic Carpet III: Haunted Holidays by Rhode Island-based author Laura Clarizio at the Old State House at 3:00pm;
• The Nutmeg Ballet will perform a free vignette from its 2009 production of The Nutcracker; 
• All events taking place Constitution Plaza, unless otherwise indicated.

Once again this year, the festival also serves as a major toy drive for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve’s Toys for Tots™ program. The toy drive is expected to collect thousands of toys during the festival’s duration to benefit children in need throughout the state of Connecticut. In the spirit of holiday giving, festival attendees are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the opening ceremony on Constitution Plaza, during special festival weekend events, or at satellite toy collection locations.  Constitution Plaza Garages and State House Square Garages will offer free parking during the Opening Ceremony with the donation of a toy or $5.

Following the opening ceremony, attendees are invited to stroll down to State House Square, where hungry folks can warm up in the State House Square food court & nibble on treats and drinks served by vendors, including New Haven’s The Cupcake Truck™.  Take a free tour of the Old State House, celebrate with costumed re-enactors, and join in a caroling session.

Following the opening ceremony festivities, guests can visit Constitution Plaza for “Santa Saturdays,” on Sat. 11/28, 12/5, 12/12, and 12/19. Families and children can enjoy a meet-and-greet with Santa Claus in the State House Square Atrium before or after taking in the holiday music and lights across the plaza. Kids can help Santa this year by bringing him a toy for Toys for Tots to help a child in need. Santa Saturdays will also feature different activities each weekend, such as an ice carving demonstration, a visit from the Bob’s Discount Furniture Outreach Truck and free laminated child I.D. cards.

Bunnell STAGE Presents Once Upon a Mattress
Dec. 10 - 13, 2009 

The Bunnell High School Student Theater Arts Guild of Entertainment (S.T.A.G.E.) invites you to partake in our musical production of Once Upon a Mattress, a fractured fairytale based on the classic story, “The Princess and the Pea”, by Hans Christian Andersen.  Our spoofed tale unfurls through a variety of robust and romantic songs , with fevers of dance and laughter: a true crowd pleaser for ALL AGES! 

Once Upon a Mattress is an American musical classic.  Opening on Broadway in 1959, Mattress launched the career of a young Carol Burnett in the starring role as Princess Winnifred; it was revived on Broadway in 1996 with Sarah Jessica Parker and won the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical.  The witty and off-beat re-telling focuses on a royal family whose matriarch, Queen Aggravain (Mia Gaspar), has ruled that no one in the kingdom may marry before her son, Prince Dauntless (Collin Anderson). She keeps the kingdom’s subjects single by ridiculously foiling every marital candidate the prince entertains.  

When the noble Sir Harry (Ryne Pataki) and Lady Larken (Erin Williams) learn they are about to become parents, they set out to put an end to the queen’s tyranny so that their baby may be born in wedlock. Sir Harry finds the perfect candidate for Prince Dauntless’ bride in Princess Winnifred (Tiia Fischer), also known as “Fred” to her friends: an uncouth woman from the “wrong side of the swamp.” With the help of Sir Harry, the Minstrel (Brian Talierco) and the Jester (Ian Jackson), she sets out to overcome Queen Aggravain and win her true love’s heart.  

Once Upon a Mattress is directed by Meghann England with the musical assistance of musical director/conductor Stan Wietrzychowski; choreography is directed and inspired by Sara Renstrom, a Bunnell S.T.A.G.E. alumnus.  The illustrious castle and set is designed by Lawrence Farrell and constructed with the aid of Matt Kavulich and S.T.A.G.E crew. The large cast includes a plethora of S.T.A.G.E. veterans and newcomers including Amber Martinez (Lady Mabelle), Chelsea Holtz (Lady Rowena) and Courtney Mayberry (Lady Merrill); the remainder of the cast is made up of underclassmen Joey Welch (King Sextimus), Mike Peterson (Wizard), Jonelle Sedgwick (Princess No. 12, Nightingale), Stephanie Neary (Lady Lucille), and a dedicated ensemble of which the show could not go on without!  So, come and take a swim through the swamp and help us choose the REAL princess….

The show opens on Thursday, December 10^th, @ 7:30 PM, and continues Friday, December 11^th @ 8:00, Saturday, December 12^th @ 8:00, and Sunday, December 13^th @ 2:30.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students, children, and senior citizens.  Tickets may be reserved by going to http://www.bunnellstage.org  or by calling 203-816-8241.
