Portland Museum of Art, "In the Vanguard", May 24 -September 8th

 

MAY 24–SEPTEMBER 8, 2019


In the Vanguard: Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, 1950-1969 explores how an experimental school in rural Maine transformed art, craft, and design in the 20th century and helped define the aesthetics of the nation’s counterculture.

FOUNDED IN 1950, HAYSTACK MOUNTAIN SCHOOL OF CRAFTS PLAYED A CENTRAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICAN ART AND CRAFT.
The artists of the school’s early years—Anni Albers, Dale Chihuly, Robert Ebendorf, Jack Lenor Larsen, M.C. Richards, and Toshiko Takaezu—contributed to a dynamic community of craftspeople who broke new ground across a wide range of media. In the Vanguard is the first major museum exhibition focused solely on this school, as well as the PMA’s first exhibition to be supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Its insights will revise the narrative of midcentury art and craft in America.

Catch the Maybaum Gallery Exhibition of Simon Nicholas in San Francisco

We are pleased to introduce a new artist to our roster, British painter- Simon Nicholas.

"Using formal elements such as underlying grids, repetition and pattern, I wish to create pictures which swing ambiguously between figuration and abstraction." -Nicholas

This series is based on gallery and museum spaces, where the borders between reality, fiction and photographic representation are brought into question. The perceptive process in these paintings is apparently reversed: the viewers in the gallery often appear to be seen from the perspective of the actual paintings hanging on the wall. The paintings are entirely dependent on a working process of “making it up as you go along”, the results more often than not being the sum of an endless series of corrections and over-paintings.

To view the full collection please click here. Please stop by the gallery to view these museum quality works in person.


Kind Regards,

Christina

Catch the The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum & Historical Society educational programs!!!

The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum is planning to pilot the Sag Harbor Maritime Conservation Center for Children with a summer education program. The program consists of four one-week sessions in which students ages 8-12 take classes that integrate marine conservation, art projects inspired by the Museum’s collection, and visits from local artists, maritime industry professionals, and environmentalists.
Weekly session topics include:
· Ocean Cycles and ‘Up Cycling” Marine Debris – Learn about ocean conservation and the challenge of marine debris in our seas and beaches. The program culminates in creating an art piece from recycled debris. 
· Young Detectives - Learn about the life of Sag Harbor village children in ages past by deciphering clues from historical toys and objects. Design and build toys telling your story of village life today. 
· Luring a Fish (or Whale!) – Discover techniques used by fisherman over the last 400 years. Visiting fishermen can teach the children how it’s responsibly done today including how they build traps, nets, lures and even shellfish hatcheries. 
· A Young Person’s View: Telling Personal Stories Through Words and Pictures - Reflect on how villagers have told their stories of coastal life over time. Children work with local writers and artists to express their modern-day coastal experiences.
The objectives are to:
· Celebrate Sag Harbor’s maritime culture and history through the Museum’s collection and community. 
· Engage children with local artists, writers, tradesman, and maritime industry professionals. 
· Teach youth to engage with the waterfront and marine ecosystem in environmental responsible, culturally aware and creative ways.
The sessions will have a capacity of 10-12 students and will be held in the Whaling Museum’s galleries, classroom and grounds. The classes are designed and led by a qualified marine science educator and teaching assistant with contributions from the Museum’s Curator and special guests.
We ask that you kindly help us design our Pilot Program by providing feedback in the 1-minute survey here:
