SUMMARY:Culturally Curious Art Lecture Series: Creating Hope: The New Deal and WPA Art
DESCRIPTION:Creating Hope: The New Deal and WPA Art \nDiscover one of the most ambitious cultural experiments in American history\, when the federal government employed thousands of artists\, photographers\, and muralists to document and beautify a nation struggling through the Great Depression. The Works Progress Administration and Farm Security Administration programs transformed unemployed creative professionals into chroniclers of American resilience\, producing iconic images like Dorothea Lange’s “Migrant Mother” that would define how we remember this pivotal era. How did government patronage shape artistic vision\, and what happens when democracy itself becomes both patron and subject of American art? By examining works by Walker Evans\, Gordon Parks\, Thomas Hart Benton\, and scores of lesser-known artists who fanned out across the country with cameras\, brushes\, and chisels\, this program reveals how New Deal arts programs created a collective portrait of America that celebrated the dignity of ordinary people while laying the foundation for a uniquely democratic approach to supporting the arts. \n  \nAbout the presenter:\nJane Oneail is the founder of Culturally Curious\, a company that curates and presents art appreciation programs. 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. Jane has also taught at the college level for more than a decade\, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University. \nFor more information visit: iamculturallycurious.com \nDonations welcome at door \n* Pre-registration is advised – Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Road Trip Detour
DESCRIPTION:Road Trip Detour: Exploring Life’s Journey by Chaplain Rich Miller-Murphy shares his early and mid-life struggles with mental health after losing his partner of 10 years to AIDS\, his mother to pancreatic cancer\, and his grandfather to heart surgery complications in 1990-91\, and subsequently learning of his own illnesses. At the time\, he led a double life afraid to share his own sexuality for fear of discrimination and what effect the truth might have on his career. Family support and love coming from friends\, and work colleagues helped him through two inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations over forty years ago. Life changed immeasurably in his late forties and early fifties with his same sex marriage in 2004 and the birth of double miracle twins in 2007 using a gestational carrier. Road Trip Detour shows that life’s challenges can lead to a meaningful and purposeful life by having a positive outlook and accepting help when you need it most. The book is authentic\, sensitive\, and sometimes shocking from beginning to end. \n  \nAbout the Author \nRichard (Rich) Miller-Murphy\, the oldest of six children from an Irish Catholic family\, experienced many emotional\, mental and physical challenges\, or detours\, on his life journey. First earning a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Chemistry from Fairfield University\, then a Masters in Business Administration\, focusing on Policy and Strategy from the Pompea School of Business at the University of New Haven\, finally a Masters in Chaplaincy focused on Interfaith viewpoints from Hartford International University for Religion and Peace (formerly Hartford Seminary). Rich worked in the “for-profit” medical device industry and the “nonprofit” transfusion medicine field\, both in New York City. He now directs his efforts on hospital chaplaincy and helping others navigate end of life challenges. Together with his husband of more than thirty years\, and twin children\, he now lives in Litchfield\, Connecticut. \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
