SUMMARY:Creative Conversations with Guest Artist Paul Dusold
DESCRIPTION:Creative Conversations (CC) is a program bringing emerging and established artists together to engage in conversation in a welcoming and relaxed environment. CC is an opportunity to meet with artists who work in various mediums and talk about the joys\, struggles\, inspirations\, and technical issues artists deal with throughout their creative journey. Participants have the opportunity to share their work and receive sensitive and useful feedback from the visiting artist.\nPaul Dusold Paul DuSold studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and privately with Arthur DeCosta and in fresco with B.F. Long. He has taught for thirty years at various institutions including Wayne Art Center\, the Delaware Art Museum\, Main Line Art Center and continues to teach at Fleischer Art Memorial and Woodmere Art Museum.\nArtistic Statement\n“My artwork is best described as atmospheric representationalism. Still life\, figures in landscape and portraits are my preferred subject matter.\nMy influences are mostly sixteenth and seventeenth century Italian and Spanish painters; I am perhaps most informed by the use of oil paint as an expressive medium by the Venetian artists of the sixteenth century.\nThe Primary aspiration of my efforts is to paint pictures whose effect of meaning is achieved through a very acute balance of color\, light and shadow and seal of forms.” Personal Website: www.pauldusold.com

SUMMARY:Play Reading - Ushers in the House
DESCRIPTION:Please join BLACK MAGIC WOMAN Productions on Monday\, February 10\, at 6 pm for a script-in-hand reading of “Ushers In The House\,” a new one-act drama by Joseph P. Blake. Admission is free\, light refreshments provided. \nPLAY SYNOPSIS:\nAt 85\, Oscar Thomas is a Vietnam Veteran\, former Black Panther\, widower\, father\, and a grandfather. He’s also worked as a farm laborer\, spent four decades as a postal worker. In the sunset of his life he’s begun to contemplate his legacy and the possessions he wants to leave his family. The latter has forced him to grapple with the painful fact that items he considers heirlooms are insignificant to his family and viewed as relics of a past just as insignificant to them. \nA painting entitled “Ushers” is among the things Oscar has collected since his daughters were children. Oscar’s perceptions of the the world are now viewed through lenses where things like humility\, courage\, and familial loyalty are becoming as obsolete as a rotary phone. \nNote: A brief Talk-back with the actors and the playwright will follow this premiere reading!

SUMMARY:Tavern Night
DESCRIPTION:Join Historic Rittenhouse Town for Tavern Night! Outside the church\, the tavern was the most important institution in most towns. Taverns were used for political assemblies\, markets\, and\, of course\, a place to enjoy a good meal and learn the news of the day. Come join us as the buildings and grounds of our historic 18th-century homestead are transformed into a tavern from the 1770s\, where the simple pleasures of good food\, drink\, and fellowship collide. \nTavern Night will feature an evening of storytelling and merriment\, complete with 18th-century beer and cocktails and hearth-cooked food prepared in our Bake House. Patrons will be encouraged to learn the popular parlor games (like whist\, shut-the-box\, and farkle) and join in toasts and popular songs of the day. \nRegister for early registration discount\, walk-ins are welcome! Be sure to look at the food and drink selections below.
