SUMMARY:Three Stand-Alone Poetry Workshops: The "Dark Basket of a Blank Page"
DESCRIPTION:“The unknown is the dark basket into which we plunge our hands to bring out words that feed the hungry and clothe the poor—as good a definition of poetry as we might find.”\n-David Whyte\nTo read a poem\, we face an unknown: what is this poet saying?  To write a poem\, we face a blank page: what do I have to say?  How will I say it?  While at times the unknown can be exciting\, often it is terrifying\, and it keeps us from doing the creative work we want to do.  In these three\, stand-alone workshops\, we will: \n• Practice how to read poetry more adeptly.\n• Enjoy the conversations that open up between poems and our fellow workshop participants.\n• Hone our own poetic craft through drafting a new poem in each session.\n• Leave with prompts for further independent writing and suggestions for revisions. \nAll levels of writing experience are welcome.  Suitable for participants 16 years and older. \nThursday JANUARY 22nd: 7:00 – 8:30PM\nThe “Dark Basket” of Winter: Poems for long nights and cold days \nInstructor: Sarah Crowley Chestnut \nTickets\, per class\nNon-members $30\nMembers $25 \nNot already a Member?

SUMMARY:Four Artists Gallery Talk and Reception 1/17
DESCRIPTION:The Long Gallery opens its first-ever exhibit\, featuring the works of some of Southborough’s most notable artists\,Joe Landry\, Lucia and Warren Prosperi\, and Sigrid Knemeyer. \nJoin the four featured artists for an intimate and engaging panel conversation that looks beneath the surface of their work. \nThey will reflect on the sparks that ignite an idea\, how personal history\, place\, and memory shape their vision\, and the ways they transform fleeting impressions into finished pieces. \n​The discussion will also touch on the solitude and doubt that can accompany making art\, the discipline required to keep going\, and the small breakthroughs that make the struggle worthwhile. \n​Afterward\, adjourn to the Long Gallery for hors d’oeuvres and bubbles\, where you can continue the conversation with the artists in a relaxed setting and experience the works with fresh insight. \nSuggested Audience 18+\nSOLD OUT
