SUMMARY:Free Family Day: Early Spring at A&H!
DESCRIPTION:Our Early Spring Family Day is free of charge and sponsored by Massey Services. \nCome celebrate the first signs of spring at the Art and History Museums in Maitland with a morning filled with nature-themed art activities all over our National Historic Landmark campus! \nIn the Mayan courtyard\, we’ll have a pinch pot clay art workshop\, where children can hand-build their own clay pot embellished with tiny treasures from nature! Our pinch pots are inspired by A&H’s founding artist\, J. André Smith\, who created many of the nature-themed sculptures on our National Historic Landmark campus. Your special creations will be ready to take home after the workshop! \nIn our main garden\, children will use their observational skills on an “I Spy” spring-themed scavenger hunt and create art in a mini sketchbook from the sights they see in our garden\, like floating lily pads\, tiny tadpoles\, budding flowers – and even cement carvings adorned on the garden’s walls\, doors and pathways designed by J. André Smith. \nBefore leaving\, children can take a bit of our garden home by decorating a recycled pot and planting seedlings for the new season. \nWe’ll have more surprises too\, like face painting and complimentary admission to all our main campus museum attractions—including our contemporary art museum filled with sculptural work by Bahamian-born sculptor Kendra Frorup\, our interactive Telephone Museum\, and the Indigenous history exhibition in our Maitland History Museum. \nSpace and craft supplies are limited\, so reserve a spot for your family today! \nSpace is limited\, so reserve a spot for your family today>>

SUMMARY:A&H Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Make new friends at the A&H Members-Only Book Club! Join A&H Director of Advancement Jessi VanPelt every other month to share your opinions on fascinating topics in the realms of art and history. This month we will meet in the Maitland Art Center gallery. At the end of each meeting\, we’ll vote on what book to read together next. \nAt this meeting\, we’ll discuss Everything She Touched: The Life of Ruth Asawa\, by Marilyn Chase. In this compelling biography\, the author brings Asawa’s story to vivid life. She draws on Asawa’s extensive archives and weaves together many voices—family\, friends\, teachers\, and critics—to offer a complex and fascinating portrait of the artist. Born in California in 1926\, Ruth Asawa grew from a farmer’s daughter to a celebrated sculptor. She survived adolescence in the World War II Japanese-American internment camps and attended the groundbreaking art school at Black Mountain College. Asawa then went on to develop her signature hanging-wire sculptures\, create iconic urban installations\, revolutionize arts education in her adopted hometown of San Francisco\, fight through lupus\, and defy convention to nurture a multiracial family. \nYou can find this title on Amazon (in print\, audio and Kindle) as well as many online used bookstores. Choose us as your Amazon Smile charity and we’ll receive 0.5% of all your Amazon purchases as a donation: https://smile.amazon.com/Everything-She-Touched-Biography-Sculpture/dp/1452174407/ \nBook Club meetings are just $5 (which includes snacks and sodas). Space is limited so you must register in advance. If you’re not a current A&H member\, you must join or renew before Book Club date. Membership payments cannot be accepted at the event. \nIf you have any questions or need to verify your membership status\, contact Jessi at jvanpelt@artandhistory.org.

SUMMARY:Maitland's Attic: A Journey Through A Small City's Past
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis exhibition is an interactive\, hands-on exploration into the history of Maitland and its surrounding areas! \n\nThere were a lot of things that did not happen in Maitland. There were no great battles fought on the soil\, nor was it home to any infamous individuals. The town was not the epicenter of any great social movements\, nor was it home to discoveries that would better humankind. Maitland was\, and continues to be\, a small town\, like so many others.\n\nThe story of Maitland is a story of seemingly ordinary people who lived through extraordinary times\, a place where people made their homes while dramatic events unfolded in other parts of the world. People labored here\, raised their families\, loved\, lost\, thought\, and created. The objects in the museum’s collection reflect the brightness of these lives against the backdrop of a changing and often troubled world.\n\n\nEach artifact tells a story specific to a place and time. They are the carriers of the memories of the people who owned them\, who felt that they were important enough to their own story to preserve them. Many of them are the prototypes of the objects that we use and hold dear today\, objects which will one day carry our own memories forward.\nWelcome to Maitland’s Attic\, a gathering place of the unique items that tell of Maitland’s past. From the everyday to the downright weird\, these objects and their stories open a window onto important moments throughout the history of the town\, and the people who called it home.\n\n\n\n¡Esta exhibición es interactivo y de primera mano adentro de la historia de Maitland y las áreas cercanas! \nEn Maitland no ocurrieron muchas cosas. En su suelo no se libraron grandes batallas\, ni fue cuna deindividuos infames. No fue el epicentro de grandes movimientos sociales ni de descubrimientosrevolucionarios. \nLa historia de Maitland es la historia de personas aparentemente corrientes que vivieron tiemposextraordinarios\, un lugar donde la gente estableció su hogar mientras se desarrollaban acontecimientosdramáticos en otras partes del mundo. La gente trabajaba aquí\, criaba a sus familias\, amaba\, perdía\,pensaba y creaba. Los objetos de la colección del museo reflejan el brillo de estas vidas en el contextode un mundo cambiante y a menudo turbulento. \nCada artefacto cuenta una historia específica de un lugar y una época. En conjunto\, son portadores delos recuerdos de las personas que los poseyeron\, que consideraron que eran lo bastante importantespara su historia como para conservarlos. Muchos de ellos son prototipos de los objetos que usamos yapreciamos hoy\, objetos que un día serán portadores de nuestros propios recuerdos.Bienvenido a Maitland’s Attic\, un lugar donde se reúnen objetos únicos que hablan del pasado deMaitland. Desde los más cotidianos hasta los más extraños\, estos objetos abren una ventana amomentos importantes de la historia de la ciudad y a las personas que decidieron llamarla su hogar.

SUMMARY:(Un)Common Light
DESCRIPTION:Wallpaper Dragon (Detail)\, by Elisabeth Condon \nThis exhibition showcases the work of two abstract painters\, Elisabeth Condon and Carole d’Inverno.  \nElisabeth Condon’s paintings are an intersection of nature\, décor\, and abstraction. Their vocabulary of flower\, lattice\, pour evolves from combinations of sumi-e\, expressionist\, and Color Field paint applications.

Both women have served as Artists in Residence at the Art & History Museums of Maitland. \n\nUngrateful Amphibians\, by Carole d’Inverno \nEsta exposición mostrará el trabajo de dos pintoras abstractas radicadas en Nueva York: Elisabeth Condon y Carole d’Inverno. Las pinturas de Elisabeth Condon son una intersección de naturaleza\, decoración y abstracción. Su vocabulario de flor\, celosía y vertido acuoso evoluciona a partir de combinaciones de aplicaciones de pintura sumi-E\, expresionista y del campo de color.  El trabajo de Carole d’Inverno transforma datos históricos y geográficos de las comunidades locales en abstracciones humanizadas. Las pinturas y dibujos resultantes reflejan naturalmente la comunidad y su gente. \nLa conversación que tendrá lugar en esta exposición se centrará en el concepto de luz y sus múltiples significados. Ambas artistas buscan\, a través de sus pinturas\, sacar a la luz no solo los aspectos formales del color\, la línea y la forma\, sino también las historias\, recuerdos y experiencias personales y colectivas. Ambas mujeres se han desempeñado como Artistas en Residencia en los Museos de Arte e Historia de Maitland.

Today as we celebrate Earth Day\, we will be experimenting with printmaking while making eco-inspired tote bags from all kinds of recycled materials! \nPrintmaking is an artistic process that involves transferring an image from one surface to another. Young apprentice printmakers will experience printmaking with different textures\, colors and patterns\, all with materials that would normally be thrown away. And\, bonus: when we recycle\, we do something kind for the earth\, too! So come experiment with art and create a one-of-a-kind tote bag that you can use over and over again.  \nSpace is limited\, so reserve a spot for your family today!

Get your free tickets here>> \nCarole d’Inverno’s work translates historical and geographical data from local communities into humanized abstractions. The resulting paintings and drawings naturally reflect the community and its people. Carole has been an Artist in Residence at the Art & History Museums of Maitland and we’re honored to welcome her as a gallery artist and speaker. Learn more about her exhibition\, (Un)Common Light\, here>> \nCarole’s Artist Statement\nHistory is central to my work. \nI immigrated from Europe to the United States as a young woman. I saw the disparity in wealth\, the gun violence\, the racial tension\, but also the familial interactions in close-knit communities\, the pride in country\, the belief in ‘everything is possible’. I turned to history to understand the contradictions. \nI travel quite a lot in the US and have seen many changes since the late ’70s. From the brake-neck expansion of the suburbs\, to the emptying of Main Streets\, the decline of the industrial cities of the North\, and the population explosion of the Sun Belt\, America keeps morphing. In contrast with my upbringing\, the country seems to be in constant motion. Jobs\, homes\, families\, neighborhoods\, wealth\, all can change in a blink of time. How can I understand these phenomenas? What is behind them? What do they have in common? Instead of trying to grasp the whole picture at once\, I focus on regional history. Each community I study and render in paintings and drawings adds to my understanding. \nTo prepare for a new series I visit the local communities. I take in the scenery and spend time with locals. I listen to stories\, go to museums and art centers\, look at monuments\, read at the local library\, and even peruse restaurant menus! I consult maps\, photos\, relevant books\, and fill sketchbooks with notes and drawings. A unique picture starts developing in my mind. In the studio my intuition takes the lead and I let the facts\, places\, and local stories coalesce in my mind. The data is humanized. Paintings and drawings naturally reflect the community\, and its people. Each new series becomes part of the whole and teaches me more.  \nWe all have stories to tell. \n\n*Are you a student?
