SUMMARY:In Conversation: Judy Chicago [Virtual Program]
DESCRIPTION:The Rose Art Museum is honored to host Judy Chicago for a special conversation with Catherine Morris\, Senior Curator for the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum. Together\, they will explore Chicago’s groundbreaking “Birth Project” (1980–1985)\, a series that reimagines childbirth as a powerful\, sacred\, and creative act. Produced in collaboration with more than 150 needleworkers across the United States\, the project brought women’s collective labor and historically marginalized craft practices into the realm of monumental art. The discussion will focus in particular on “Birth Trinity” (1982–1984)\, a work from the series currently on view in “Fabricated Imaginaries: Crafting Art” at the Rose Art Museum. This conversation will also situate the “Birth Project” within the broader arc of Chicago’s career. \nThis program is free and open to all. Register for the event via Zoom Webinar.

SUMMARY:Art and meditation workshop: Intuitive watercolors
DESCRIPTION:Join Faith Johnson\, internationally exhibiting artist and healing arts practitioner of Full Circle Healing Arts\, for a relaxing meditation followed by quiet reflective journaling and intuitive watercolor painting (with local water sources!). Take a moment to reconnect and replenish through contemplative creativity and community connection! All materials provided and no experience necessary. \n“Intuitive watercolor painting is a free-flowing\, process-focused approach to art that emphasizes self-expression\, spontaneity\, and creative exploration rather than a planned outcome. Instead of trying to achieve a specific image or follow rules\, intuitive painting encourages artists to trust their instincts\, respond to the moment\, and embrace the unknown.”-Melanie Lan\, Case for Making \nIn the lecture hall.

SUMMARY:More than Money: The world of coin collecting
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we continue our Social Series with “More than Money: The world of coin collecting” with Neil Musante\, a collector and numismatic researcher and author of two books that have become standard references on the subject\, with a third coming soon. \nThis talk will explore various aspects of collecting\, including some of the history leading to the coins of the present day. We will also discuss what makes some of them worth so much money and why two coins of the same denomination\, with the same date and mintmark\, can be so different in value from each other. It is essential to understand how coins are graded and how grade determines value. Most importantly\, there will be plenty of time for questions. \nSeats are limited. Sign up by calling 781-893-9020 or emailing with your name\, phone number\, and the number of participants. \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the Waltham Cultural Council\, a local agency funded by Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency.

SUMMARY:The Gore Roll: A talk with Brenton Simons
DESCRIPTION:The Gore Roll of Arms\, the earliest known collection of heraldic arms in America\, was the work of Christopher Gore’s father\, John Gore (1718-1796). John Gore ran a paint shop in Boston and did fine decorative painting on coaches for the elite of Boston. The Gore Roll includes pen\, ink\, and watercolor arms for New England’s most prominent families\, including the Winthrops\, Saltonstalls\, Brattles\, and Winslows. Studied by many\, a copy was created by Isaac Child in 1847. The original remained in the possession of the Gore family until it was lost in 1865. Boston physician and heraldic scholar Dr. Harold Bowditch helped to secure and donate the original to the New England Historic Genealogical Society. This new publication brings together for the first time facsimiles of the original Gore Roll as well as the 1847 Child and 1926 Harold Bowditch copies. The publication is enriched by scholarly commentary\, including an introduction by D. Brenton Simons\, OBE. \nBrenton Simons is President Emeritus and Chief Stewardship Officer of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (AmericanAncestors.org). He is an author\, historian\, and genealogist. In this illustrated talk\, Brenton will tell the story of John Gore’s remarkable book\, its disappearance\, and rediscovery.
