Event Details

Art and the New England Farm | May 11 – September 16

Drawing on the agricultural heritage of Florence Griswold’s family estate and of the Lyme region and beyond, this exhibition examines the history and character of New England’s farms in works by artists from the 19th to the 21st century.

Paintings, drawings, and photographs from public and private collections trace the challenges of farming in New England, with its rocky soil, and the pastoral landscapes crafted through intense labor. Landscapes by George Henry Durrie will receive special attention as influential representations that translated the New England farmstead into an American icon in the mid-nineteenth century. Works by Ivan Olinsky, Thomas Nason, Martin Lewis, and Walker Evans will map the transformation and decline of the New England farm into the 20th century with the pressures of urbanization and suburbanization. The more recent revival of farming, with the enthusiasm for organic produce and farm-to-table cooking, will close the exhibition, with the inclusion of works by contemporary artists and photographers, including artist Judy Friday’s project on a year in the life of Lyme’s Tiffany Farm.

This exhibition is generously sponsored by CT Humanities, State of Connecticut through the Consortium of Connecticut Art Museums, The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, and the Nika Thayer Exhibition and Publication Fund.

National Geographic Photo Ark – Bruce Museum | June 2 – September 2

Species are disappearing at an alarming rate, but together we can help.

The National Geographic Photo Ark, led by photographer Joel Sartore, is a multiyear effort to document every species living in wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting on-the-ground conservation efforts.

With ingenuity and wit, National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore has captured portraits of more than 6,000 creatures in 40 countries to date. Many of the animals live in the world’s zoos and aquariums, institutions dedicated to preserving and caring for species of all kinds. This exhibition features many iconic images and allows visitors to follow Sartore around the world on this exciting and important project.

Museums and institutions around the world are hosting Photo Ark exhibitions to raise awareness for many species in need of greater conservation. Each exhibition will feature large-format prints, as well as a grid of many more images to highlight the range of species in the Photo Ark. Visitors are encouraged to take selfies with these impressive portraits to show their support.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHER JOEL SARTORE: “I WANT PEOPLE TO CARE, TO FALL IN LOVE, AND TO TAKE ACTION.”

No matter its size, each animal is treated with the same amount of affection and respect. The results are portraits that are not just stunningly beautiful, but also intimate and moving.

About the Photographer:
Joel Sartore is a photographer, speaker, author, teacher, conservationist, 24-year contributor to National Geographic magazine, as well as a National Geographic Fellow. He has traveled to every continent and specializes in documenting endangered species and landscapes. Simply put, he is on a mission to document endangered species in order to show a world worth saving. “Every year I see more habitat loss, more species consumed for food, medicine or simply decoration,” says Sartore. “The Photo Ark was born out of desperation to halt, or at least slow, the loss of global biodiversity.”

Sponsors:

The exhibition is supported by Gabelli Funds, Guardian Life, The Charles M. and Deborah G. Royce Exhibition Fund, Judith and Stephen Wertheimer, and the Connecticut Office of the Arts.

Event Details

Noh Theatre in the Woodblock Prints of Tsukioka Kōgy | June 16 – October 14

Noh Theatre in the Woodblock Prints of Tsukioka Kōgyo (1869 – 1927) explores the art of woodblock prints and the history, stories, and costumes of Japanese Noh Theatre at the turn of the 20th century. This special exhibition brings to the Lyman Allyn Art Museum over 50 Japanese color woodblock prints and features several Japanese Noh masks from the museum’s own collection. The exhibition will be on view June 16 through October 14, 2018.

Noh is a Japanese performing art based on traditional court dances known as Bugaku, originally from China. It draws its material from many sources and its form from ritual and folk dances. The compelling power and beauty of Noh has influenced musicians, dramatists, and poets as diverse as Bertholt Brecht, Eugene O’Neill, Paul Claudel, William Butler Yeats, Benjamin Britten, and Ezra Pound, and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Theater form.

Artist Tsukioka Kōgyo (1869–1927) came of age in the Meji era (1868–1912), a period of modernization when Japan was opened to world trade after more than two hundred years of relative isolation. Kōgyo specialized in depictions of Noh, which until then had primarily been enjoyed by social elites. This changed at the end of the 19th century, however, when Noh theatre expanded in popularity and was embraced by the middle class. Tsukioka Kōgyo is the preeminent graphic artist of the Noh and Kyōgen theatres. For more than a third of a century–from the early-1890s until his premature death in 1927— Kōgyo created hundreds of paintings, prints, magazine illustrations, and postcard pictures of Noh and Kyōgen plays, as well as paintings and prints of flowers, birds, and genre and wartime scenes. Kōgyo’s numerous paintings were translated into series of woodblock prints, including Pictures of Noh, One Hundred Noh Dramas, and Encyclopedia of Noh plays.

The opening reception will be on Friday, June 15 from 5- 7 pm. Museum members are free and non-members are $10. Please RSVP to 860.443.2545 ext. 2129.

Vision Box Project | June 19 – September 10

Join us for the opening Reception on June 19 at 5 pm.

Ana Flores is the first Schumann Foundation Visiting Artist at the University of New Haven’s Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts. She is an award winning “ecological artist” probing the relationships between the human and natural history in different geographies. One of her goals as an artist is to encourage the public’s awareness of their local landscapes, deepening their connections to place because if we don’t care about something we will not help protect it.

At Lyme this spring she has been teaching Environmental Art, introduciing students to ecological artists and having them create projects that involve ecology, community engagment, and activsim. She has also been exploring the unique environment of OLd Lyme in preparation for a public art project. The Old Lyme landscape, with its conjunction of river, marshes, fields, and forests served as the inspiration for the American Impressionist movement in the early 20th century. For over three decades well known painters traveled here to document the esturary landscape with its particular quality of light. Flores believes there is a connection between the sustained gaze of these artists and the extraordinary efforts in concservation in the area. “The artists gave the land value for its irreplaceable natural beatuy and since the mid 1960’s Old Lyme citizens have been working hard to preserve some of the habitat that lured artists here.”

Working in collaboration with non-profit land trusts, the open space commission, individual stewards and local artists, Flores has designed the Vision Box project .The Vision Box project reminds us that we cannot take for granted open space, mature trees, or a clean river, they exist only because of visionary stewardship and in the case of Old Lyme, inspiration from artists’ vision.

Beginning in early June, the public can follow the trail of the Vision Boxes installed at four sites throughout Old Lyme. The boxes will be up for three months, at the end of the project the boxes will be auctioned. The resulting funds will be contributed to programs that bring urban youth to visit wilderness parks or refuges in the local area and give them the opportunity to draw in the field.

20jun - 31augAll Day"New Haven Photographs" by Daniel Eugene(All Day) Hull's Art Supply & Framing, 1144 Chapel St, New Haven, CT 06511Event Type:Art Openings,Featured Event

Event Details

“New Haven Photographs” by Daniel Eugene | Thru August 31

Local artist Daniel Eugene collaborates with Lunch Money Print to launch an art exhibition titled “New Haven Photographs: A Future History” a collection of more than one hundred photographs documenting both familiar and unfamiliar locations around the city. The physical exhibition opened as a Pop-Up event, May 16th during Artwalk in Westville Village, and recently expanded to a second event downtown at Hull’s Art Supply newly renovated Second Story Gallery. This second event will also be celebrating Eugene’s limited-edition book release under the same title.

Eugene, through his photographic journal, aims to bring together New Haven’s communities. Daniel states “There is a unique aspect of transformation and temporariness that we are all participating in. I see the photograph as an opportunity to build a visual memory bank where each image can be a catalyst for recollection. With ‘New Haven Photographs: A Future History’ one discovers a city they’ve never been to before even if they’ve lived here their whole life. In the photographs we witness our own unique relationship with what we too often take for granted, and that we are, ourselves, active as a Future History of New Haven.”

This exhibition marks Lunch Money Print’s first comprehensive online exhibition. The CoFounders Christopher O’Flaherty and Mark Donne, who started Lunch Money Print in early 2017 are looking forward to having this online gallery be a platform for helping the artist they collaborate with. Chris states, “Lunch Money Print was originally created as a platform to support artists. With ‘New Haven Photographs’ we wanted to think of our platform, less like a website, and more like a gallery exhibition space. Can’t make the opening, no worries, you can attend the show online.” Daniel sees the benefits of an online exhibition in extending the life of his art show. He states, “It is a lot of work to produce a show like this. A three-day pop-up event is pretty exclusive and working with Lunch Money Print is a wonderful opportunity to give greater life to the physical show.”

The pop-up exhibition and book release will take place the first weekend of August at the Hulls Art Supply Second Story Gallery at 1144 Chapel Street, New Haven. In the meantime, guests interested in the show can visit the exhibition online at lunchmoneyprint.com.
