Painting Group

07/08/2010 - 1:46pm
Etc/GMT-4
Description: 
 

For many decades, artists living in New England have come together in small social groups to paint and enjoy the art world. The level of ability is wide ranging and includes virtually all media, oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels and more. The painting groups generally paint together in Church Basements, Town Halls and lodge halls throughout the rural communities. The groups vary in size and an average group size might be about twenty artists with seven to twelve artists painting together on a given day. Some group members are just starting out but others have been painting for decades. Some are self-taught and some have a formal art education.

There is no formal instruction at group meetings. Artists simply learn from one another by observing and asking questions when they see something that interests them.

The Keene Public Library along with the Monadnock Area Artists Association has a painting group meeting every Thursday morning from 10:00 to noon. The program is open to the public with no fees or admission. One simply needs to provide ones own art materials. The group meets in Heberton Hall next to the Library and is a wonderful place to paint. No advance notice is required. Just show up, meet some fellow artists, new friends, and enjoy yourself.

10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Keene Public Library Heberton Hall

19th Century Music

07/08/2010 - 1:59pm
Etc/GMT-4
Description: 
American music has much to do with our identity as a nation. More than just entertainment, music is connected with social conditions, emerging from the sea, from cotton fields, lumber camps, and kitchens. Twentieth century music: blues, country, swing, rock, gospel, folk all emerged from earlier forms such as hymns, minstrel tunes, sea chanteys, voyageur tunes, ragtime, and patriotic songs from the Civil War. Come hear history played live on the banjo and mandolin.
 
Eric Bye has a M.A. in French, Spanish, and German language and literature from the University of Vermont. A translator specializing in non-fiction books, he has translated more than a hundred texts from French, Spanish, and German into English. Bye has played, collected, and restored old five-string banjos since 1975. His musical interests include fretless banjos, tunes dating back to plantation days, and all types of traditional music: work songs, string and brass band music, and banjo orchestras.
 
This program is funded through a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council.

7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the Keene Public Library Auditorium
