SUMMARY:Culturally Curious Art Lecture Series: The Art of the Selfie: Artist Reflections from the Renaissance to Today
DESCRIPTION:Presenter Jane O’Neail will present 4 separate lectures: \nSeptember 3: From the enigmatic gaze of Rembrandt to the bold brushstrokes of Van Gogh\, self-portraits have long captivated both artists and viewers alike. This exhibition traces the evolution of the genre from the Renaissance to the present day\, showcasing works by masters such as Frida Kahlo\, Egon Schiele\, and Cindy Sherman. How did the advent of photography in the 19th century influence the way artists portrayed themselves? \nExplore the changing notions of identity\, self-expression\, and artistic technique across five centuries of visual storytelling. \nOct. 1: Impossible Realities: The Art of M.C. Escher\nM.C. Escher\, the Dutch graphic artist\, was a master of mind-bending creations\, blending art and mathematics. Born in 1898\, Escher’s journey from a struggling student to a renowned artist is as fascinating as his intricate lithographs and woodcuts. \nThis program will explore Escher’s life\, his unique artistic vision\, and the mathematical concepts that underpin his most famous works\, offering a glimpse into the imagination of one of the 20th century’s most innovative artists. \nNov. 12: The Swirling World of Art Nouveau\nHave you ever been captivated by the sinuous curves and organic forms of Art Nouveau? This enchanting artistic movement\, which flourished from the 1890s to the 1910s\, revolutionized visual arts and architecture with its emphasis on natural shapes\, flowing lines\, and decorative elegance. At the forefront of this style was Alphonse Mucha\, a Czech artist whose iconic posters and illustrations epitomized the grace and beauty of Art Nouveau. This program explores the key characteristics of Art Nouveau and delves into Mucha’s masterful works\, uncovering how his distinctive style influenced not only graphic design but also the architecture and interior decor of the era. \nDec. 10: Behind the Curtain: Edgar Degas\, the Ballet & Beyond\nDiscover the captivating world of Edgar Degas\, a master of Impressionism known for his intimate portrayals of ballet dancers and everyday Parisian life. Through his innovative use of pastels and unconventional compositions\, Degas captured fleeting moments with remarkable clarity and emotion. His works\, ranging from elegant ballerinas to candid scenes at the racetrack\, offer a unique glimpse into 19th-century French society. \nAbout the presenter:\nJane Oneail is a sought-after speaker\, educator\, and independent art historian. Jane curates and delivers engaging art appreciation programs through her company Culturally Curious\, founded in 2017. Jane holds a master’s in Art History from Boston University and a master’s in Education from Harvard University. Born and raised in NH\, she has worked at some of the state’s most esteemed cultural institutions\, including the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen\, where she served as Executive Director\, and the Currier Museum of Art\, where she held the role of Senior Educator.

SUMMARY:Investment Group
DESCRIPTION:Bring your questions and concerns to the Litchfield Investing Group meeting on the third Tuesday of every month at 6:00PM. \nInvesting does not need to be complex or uncertain. Learn to manage your own investments whether you have $1\,000 or $1\,000\,000 using publicly available computerized investing methods for a fraction of the cost of a professional money manager with returns consistently better than the S&P 500 or the Aggregate Bond Index. All while having a life beyond investing and sleeping soundly. \nA professional money manager will charge 0.75% to 1.5% of your assets to manage a $500\,000 account\, but is not interested in managing lesser amounts. Robo-advisors charge 0.08% to 1.5% depending on account size and services to manage your account and can manage accounts as small as $100. \nThe methods discussed require only a computer\, no specialized investing knowledge\, average intelligence\, access to the internet\, and the self-discipline to follow proven methods.

SUMMARY:Hearing Screening
DESCRIPTION:Hearing Care Centers offers a comprehensive hearing screening is a series of tests that assess an individual’s ability to hear sounds and understand speech. The screening typically includes a range of tests such as pure-tone audiometry\, speech audiometry\, and middle ear testing. The purpose of the screening is to determine whether an individual has any hearing loss and the extent of the hearing loss. \nComprehensive hearing screening is important because hearing loss can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life. It can affect an individual’s ability to communicate effectively\, participate in social activities\, and perform daily tasks. Early detection of hearing loss can help prevent these negative impacts by allowing for prompt treatment\, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants\, which can improve an individual’s ability to hear and communicate. Additionally\, early detection of hearing loss can help identify any underlying medical conditions that may be causing the hearing loss and allow for timely treatment of those conditions. Overall\, comprehensive hearing screening is an important tool in maintaining overall health and wellbeing.
