The Other Side: A Journey into Women Art & the Spirit Worldwith Jennifer HiggieON ZOOMWednesday, May 1st 2:00pm(If you can’t make the talk, we’ll send you the recording!)Jennifer Higgie is an Australian writer who lives in London. Her new book  The Other Side: A Journey into Women, Art and the Spirit World is published in the UK by Weidenfeld & Nicolson and Pegasus Books in the USA. The Mirror and the Palette: Revolution, Rebellion and Resilience: 500 Years of Women’s Self-Portraits was published in 2021. Jennifer is the inaugural editor of the National Gallery of Australia’s new publication The Annual and the host of the NGA’s new podcast Artists’s Artists. In July 2023, the exhibition she curated, ‘Thin Skin’ – a survey of contemporary and historical painting – opened at the Monash University Museum of Art in Melbourne.About the Talk: “It’s not so long ago that a woman’s expressed interest in other realms would have ruined her reputation, or even killed her. And yet spiritualism, in various incarnations, has influenced numerous men without repercussion. The fact that so many radical female artists of their generation—and earlier—also drank deeply from the same spiritual well has been sorely neglected for too long.” – Simon and Shuster

The Museum School at the Cape Cod Museum of Art presents:Get Started with Mixed Media Journaling with Lenore Lyons(3) Thursdays, February 1, 8, and 15, from 10:00-12:30 pmMember $150 / Non-Member $170 includes $25 materials fee Includes a fun variety of materials to try in class, and a bound journal and a water brush to take home. If you already journal, join in and discover new techniques to include. Individual needs are met in the group setting Why Journal? Simply, it feels good. Keeping an Art Journal is a reflective process it’s a way to explore feelings and ideas in a visual way, to be creative and take care of yourself at the same time. A journal is a place to write down things that you want to remember and a place to leave things that you are ready to forget. It’s a book that includes writing, ephemera- those scraps of paper we keep, lettering, lines and colors. You can add to the journal every day or once a month…there are no rules. In this in-person class, you can socialize with others while exploring different ways to keep a journal. We will talk about content…ideas about what to write and creative techniques to write it. This is not your grandmother’s diary. You will learn basic lettering and ways to alter the size and the message. We’ll including secret writing- sometimes you need that kind of thing to let things go. You will create backgrounds with color and texture then learn easy ways to add images. You will experiment with collage, paint, tapes and more – it’s fun to try those supplies you’ve looked at in the art stores. You will find out about a quick and easy way to add photos to your journals -even on the go. Great for travelers, grandparents and you. A small photo can be an easy way to start a page. In this class, all kinds of fun materials are included. Then we’ll consider really easy ways to getting started! Are you thinking about giving it a try? Don’t worry if you can’t draw a straight line, you won’t need to. In an art journal, any “mistake” can be altered or covered. You will learn how to minimize the mess and make journaling convenient at home and on the go. We’ll brainstorm all kinds of things to write about. No art experience or drawing ability is necessary at all, really! We’ll talk about travel journals, nature journals, every day journals or once-in-a-while journals. Everyone will go home with lots of ideas, a bound journal and a water brush. Please contact me with any questions. [email protected] It’s fun to talk with others while being creative, something I’ve missed these past few years. Do this for yourself, you can relax and let your imagination take over. You in? Lenore Lyons believes that her superpower is making art accessible to everyone. People of all ages say they feel comfortable and have fun exploring creativity in her classes. This passion led to The Key Idea®, a large-scale community art project which uses keys to inspire big ideas. Over 7000 people ages 1-100+ have created KeyStories from across the United States which have been exhibited on Cape Cod, Boston, Chicago and Washington DC, at the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum. A retired teacher, Lyons has developed award-winning arts education programs in 2018 she was recognized with a VISI Award from the Cape Cod and Islands Art Educators for art education and advocacy.

The Museum School at the Cape Cod Museum of Art presents:Learn to Paint Water-soluble Mediums (Water-soluble Oil, Acrylic, and Watercolor) with Karen North Wells6 Thursdays: April 25 – May 30, 10:00 AM – 1:00 PMNon-Members $180 / Members $150 For each class, Karen will do a demo in water mixable oil, acrylic, or watercolor depending on what medium each student chooses to work with. She will teach, composition, color, and value while painting a seascape or a landscape. Props and photos are welcome, iPads are especially helpful for painting landscapes and seascapes. Please review the materials list below. All levels are welcome. Karen’s Suggested Materials Water-soluble Oil and Acrylics:– For water-soluble oils, my preference is Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colour by Winsor & Newton plus Stand oil made especially for water‐soluble oils. Stand oil gives the paint a sheen plus makes them buttery in texture, quite creamy! Stand oil is NOT used with acrylics. Or you may use Linseed oil instead of Stand oil with oils.– For acrylics my preference is Liquitex.– For oils and acrylics, I use pretty much the same colors as I do for watercolors except for a few differences. I highlighted in bold the colors I think are absolutely necessary. Others can be bought later if needed: Cadmium Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Yellow Medium (optional), Cadmium Orange (optional), Cadmium Red Light or Cadmium Red, Cadmium Red Medium, Alizarin Crimson(optional)(good with Viridian Green to make black), Permanent Rose (used for flowers), (French) Ultramarine Blue, Winsor Blue (Phthalo Blue), Cerulean Blue, Viridian Green (Optional, but good with alizarin crimson to make black), Ivory Black mixed with lemon yellow to make green, Titanium White (I get large tubes because this is used the most of all the colors.)– Canvas (stretched) or Masonite or canvas board ‐‐ I coat canvas or Masonite (without waffle‐like backing) with Gesso and then undercoat painting with cadmium red light acrylic paint before painting the subject. If the canvas is already white, then it has already been primed with Gesso.– Brushes of all sizes and unlike watercolor, the cheaper the better – round, flat, and filbert made for oil or acrylic paints– Lucite right‐angle triangle (the larger the better for horizon lines)– A palette made from Masonite, Lucite, plastic plates, or disposable paper sheets Watercolor:– Palette: I have used a Tom Jones watercolor palette but like John Pike Big Well Palette because it is sturdier and has room for 1-1/2″ flat brush– I like Winsor & Newton’s paints, but NOT their Cotman series. Cadmium Red, Cadmium Lemon (make sure it does not have titanium nickel), French Ultramarine Blue (for shading), Cerulean Blue (for skies), Winsor Blue (red or green shade this is a Phthalo Blue I use for water), Prussian Blue (to mix with Lemon Yellow for green), Yellow Ochre (for sand, skin, sky, and warm whites).Optional colors, but needed eventually: Cadmium Yellow Pale, Cadmium Orange, Permanent Rose (for flowers), Alizarin Crimson– Brushes: I like Pro Arte, Langnickel, and Richeson– Flat: 1/4″, 1/2″, 1″, 1-1/2 ” (None of these you need right away except the 1-1/2″)– Round: as small as #000 or #00 for signing name also #10, #12, #16 and a larger one which is VERY important‐Either a #20 or #24– #1 or #2 rigger, but not necessary to start out– Paper: D’Arches Block 140 lb. cold or hot pressed (I buy blocks) Other supplies:– Masking fluid (I like “Incredible White Mask” from ASW)– Masking tape (if you don’t use watercolor blocks)– Paper towels– #2 pencil– Eraser (Eraser Staedtler Mars Plastic is terrific, sold at Staples) Karen North Wells, an award-winning artist based in Cape Cod, paints in all three media: watercolor, oil, and acrylic. She considers herself an impressionistic painter, neither painting absolute realism, nor abstraction but somewhere in the middle. Karen regularly paints florals, boats, still lifes, landscapes, and seascapes, but bringing buildings and water views to life for special commissions are Karen’s specialties. Karen taught art in grades kindergarten through 12th grade for 20 years. Now she has been teaching adult workshops for over 25 years. Visit https://www.undergroundartgallery.com/ to learn more.

We celebrate nature and sing of our urgent need to protect our waters and the land, recognize our coastal fragility, take care of our critters, and learn how we can all be better stewards of our home. Beyond our region, I seek to honor the water protectors who fought against the Dakota access pipeline at Standing Rock in 2016-17. Watching footage of these events, disturbed by the disrespect for indigenous peoples, land, and precious natural resources, led me to “Singing for Water”, a dramatic portrayal of these events in song. It serves as a reminder that art reflects conflict and brings people together to fight against injustice. I am grateful to the organizations that agreed to this collaboration – I chose them to represent earth, sea, and sky (in an avian way), and I am so happy they said ‘Yes!’. The Chorale is delighted to premiere “Anthem for Truro”, lyrics and music by Amelia LeClair, Resident Scholar at the Brandeis Women’s Studies Research Center, and Founder and Director of founder and director of Cappella Clausura, an ensemble of voices and instruments specializing in music written by women from the eighth century to the present day.

Cape Symphony Presents: Nina Ott y Cha Azul May 4th, 7:00 – 9:00 pm Cape Symphony Falmouth Campus $25 A Detroit native, Nina Ott grew up in a musical family and began playing piano at age seven. Music was always an important part of life growing up in Detroit. Early on Nina was able to pick things out by ear. She was curious about all aspects of music. She loved singing in choirs as well as playing the piano. This fascination and passion for music has never left her. Before dedicating herself to jazz and improvisation, Nina trained classically as a pianist, earning a scholarship and degree in classical piano performance. A love for improvisation and jazz lead her to change her musical course and move to the east coast to be closer to the center of jazz music. She very frequently attended live shows in Boston and NYC hearing masters such as Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Hank Jones, Mulgrew Miller, Tony Williams, Billy Higgins, Cedar Walton and Herbie Hancock. These musicians remain essential influences for her to this day. Nina eventually moved to Chicago for a few years playing as a house pianist at the Green Mill Midnight Jam Session where she met the top jazz players. In Chicago she did steady solo piano work as well as working in clubs with musicians such as George Fludas, Jeff Parker, Robert Barry, John Whitfield, Pat Mallinger, Ari Brown, Red Holt and many more. Latin Jazz and Salsa came into Nina’s life while living in Providence RI when she had the opportunity to play in trumpeter Carlos De Leon’s band. To learn the rhythms, Nina studied percussion and the music became an important piece of her musical life. She has since played with John Calloway, Louis Romero, Jesus Pagan Orchestra and currently leads her own Latin/Funk Collective, Descargadelic. Watch her perform:
