SUMMARY:September First Fridays Artswalk
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy brand new indoor art shows\, murals\, and Artscape’s Pittsfield Paintboxes during the First Fridays Artswalk on Friday\, September 3\, 5 to 8 pm\, and all month long. You can view all locations by clicking here\, and new this year\, you can download the PocketSights app to follow a virtual walking tour on your cell phone. \n  \nThe Lichtenstein Center for the Arts\, 28 Renne Avenue\, will present THE CHASE / GRAUBARD SHOW\, September 3-25\, featuring works by married couple\, Karen Chase and Paul Graubard. \n  \nKaren Chase paints abstract paintings. Paul Graubard paints narrative\, visionary works. Their work could not be more different. This show highlights a few of their collaborations\, as well as their individual paintings. When they make collaborations\, each is free to obliterate or change what the other has done. Chase\, primarily a writer and poet\, has been painting since she was a little girl. Painting is a basic activity for her\, like cooking or washing. Graubard began to paint when he was in his sixties\, giving up his practice as a psychologist.  A number of museums collect his work. \n  \nOne of their collaborations\, Hongera Obama\, Tanzanian Congratulations\, will be silently auctioned off. The proceeds will be donated to the restoration of the Clinton AME Zion Church in Great Barrington. The silent auction is available in person at the Lichtenstein or you may contact slemme@cityofpittsfield.org for information on how to bid on the item. \n  \nThere will be an opening reception on Friday\, September 3\, 5 to 7 pm\, during First Fridays Artswalk (gallery will stay open until 8 pm). Gallery hours are Wednesday-Friday\, 11 am to 3 pm or by appointment. On Friday\, September 24 at 5:30 pm\, the public is invited to attend Collaboration: A Conversation with Karen and Paul moderated by Jayne Benjulian. This event is a part of the county-wide ArtWeek Berkshires. \n  \nNUarts\, 311 North Street\, will host an Open Studios event on Friday\, September 3\, 5 to 8 pm\, during First Fridays Artswalk. Among the artists opening for the evening are Myk Daigle\, Caroline Kelley\, Shany Porras\, Ilene Richard\, and Sally Tiska Rice. New works will be on view by over a dozen artists in NUarts’ gallery space. \n  \nMyk Daigle will be showing and selling antique and restored fountain pens. Caroline Kelley will show new abstracts as well as her “transportation paintings” – works with small antique collage illustrations of people in transit. Shany Porras will show abstract paintings that visually translate what one experiences through music influenced by Bauhaus and the American abstract painters of the 20th century. Ilene Richard will show her original acrylic paintings including “Year of the Clown”. Sally Tiska Rice will show her most recent home portraits\, and Marney Schorr will show her new series of abstract jazz paintings done with gouache on black and white paper. \n  \nHotel on North\, 297 North Street\, will feature then + now by Ellie Spangler for the September Artswalk. There will be a reception with the artist on Friday\, September 3\, 5 to 8 pm\, as part of First Fridays Artswalk. \n  \nThe Brothership Building Window at 141 North Street\, curated by IS183 Art School of the Berkshires\, will feature “More Than A Daydream” by Stacey Silkey\, September 3-25. \n  \nStacey Silkey is an abstract painter from the Berkshires who focuses on promoting empathy. Her paintings are based on hurried sketches of moving images or photographs that her consciousness has not fully processed. Recognizing the neurological aspect of storing memories and the influence images have on experience\, Stacey focuses on creating opportunities for shared meaning. Transforming incomplete memories\, her paintings bring new connections to the surface. \n  \nThe Unitarian Universalist Church of Pittsfield\, 175 Wendell Avenue\, will present Number One Job\, a show by Erica Manville and Melissa Quirk for the month of September. There will be an opening reception with live performance poetry on Friday\, September 3\, 5 to 8 pm\, as part of First Fridays Artswalk. \n  \nBecoming a mother is a magical transition that transforms one in body\, mind\, and soul. In Number One Job\, artists Erica Manville (visual artist) and Melissa Quirk (poet) explore early days of motherhood through dimensions of poetry and visual art. \n  \nThe Unitarian Universalist Church will host a second artist reception for Number One Job with live performance poetry on Friday\, September 17 at 7 pm as part of ArtWeek Berkshires. \n  \nArtists in the Guild of Berkshire Artists will show their work in a show entitled Plein Air in the Berkshires during the month of September at TKG Real Estate\, 137 North Street. There will be a reception as part of First Friday Artswalk on Friday\, September 3\, 5 to 8 pm. The work will be up during the month of September and can be viewed when TKG is open. Featured artists are Carolyn Abrams (mixed media and cold wax)\, Susan Sabino (photography)\, Arthur Djang (watercolor)\, and Ellen Jacobson (oil\, watercolor and acrylic). \n  \nThe September Artswalk will also highlight murals downtown including: The Sun Will Rise by Jesse Tobin McCauley\, Jay Tobin and Stephanie Quetti at 443 North Street and Gaia on Melville Street by Mike Carty. Also highlighted will be all of Artscape’s Pittsfield Paintboxes. \n  \nAll art exhibits are on display in participating venues throughout the month. \n  \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the Pittsfield Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:Lecture and Film Screening: Professor Michael Hoberman and the film “Call Us Ishmael\,” directed by Dr. David Shaerf
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 5\, 3 to 6 pm \nMichael Hoberman\, an American literature professor at Fitchburg State University\, will make his case that Melville is an ideal writer for people who describe themselves as skeptical romantics. His talk highlights his own path to Melville’s writing\, and it will also offer a brief discussion of how he teaches two lesser-known texts (“Benito Cereno” and “The Encantadas”). Call Us Ishmael chronicles filmmaker David Shaerf’s journey into the world of Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Throughout his quest he encounters artists\, musicians\, professors\, and performers\, all of whom are singularly seeking the white whale. Call Us Ishmael gives viewers an insight into a community devoted to this timeless text. \n$15 BCHS members\, $20 not-yet-members

SUMMARY:Indoors Out! Dance on North
DESCRIPTION:Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. will present Indoors Out! Dance on North on Saturday\, September 25\, 5 to 7 pm\, at Persip Park\, 175 North Street. \nIndoors Out! Dance on North features work by RawDance\, Fiona Scruggs\, Fern Katz\, Danielle Galietti\, and Molly Hess. \nRAWDance co-artistic directors Wendy Rein and Ryan Smith will perform A Dance on North\, a duet that explores the dynamics of sharing personal space in public. RAWDance is based out of Hudson\, NY and San Francisco\, CA. \nDancers of The Berkshires\, a local dance collective made up of emerging choreographers and dancers\, will be performing two works. The first\, Qualia\, is choreographed by Fiona Scruggs and performed by Veronica Bone and Gillian Ebersole. Qualia is inspired by one’s individual experience of consciousness. \nThe second\, Remnants\, is choreographed by Anna Gishan and performed by Fran Katz\, and explores the questions: What remains? How do we remember? \nMolly Hess\, a Berkshires based choreographer and dancer\, creates playful and tender work meant to be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. For this event\, she will be joined by Mary Teusche in a work entitled “Out-of-House” Plants. \nDanielle Galienti\, a North Adams based dancer and choreographer\, will present Material Imagination: the birth of a black hole. In this piece\, Danielle uses a mylar box dress to explore expansion and collapse. \nPerformances will loop over the course of the two-hour event\, with each performer dancing twice\, so there is plenty of time to catch the action. \nIndoors Out! Dance on North is presented by Downtown Pittsfield\, Inc. and funding has been provided by the Commonwealth Places Program created by MassDevelopment. The event is presented in partnership with ArtWeek Berkshires. For more information\, visit downtownpittsfield.com. Masks are recommended. \nThe rain date for Indoors Out!
