Have you made it in to see the lovely Centennial quilt yet? We have been so thrilled by the outpouring of support for this beautiful community collaboration, and we cannot thank the individual quilters enough--this permanent memory will grace our lobby for years to come.
We're sure you've received the Save the Date from earlier this week, but our Centennial festivities are culminating in our fundraising Gala at Clay Hill Farm on November 3rd. We're so jazzed about this festive evening of '20s glamour that we're hosting a craft program to make costume accessories.
We have two great talks this month, the first from artist Lincoln Perry about his new book, Seeing Like an Artist, and the second from local nature guru Dan Gardoqui about bird migration and behavior, presented in partnership with our friends at York Land Trust. Not to mention plenty of other events for all ages! |

Speaking of which, our costume swap is going strong. Starting today, you can not only drop off your lightly used costumes, but also go through and grab the perfect one for this year's dress up. We've seen an amazing inflatable Sumo suit, cozy baby costumes, and even some for pets. If no one snags it first, there's a very charming bumble bee costume I know my dog will begrudgingly wear. |

Seeing Like an Artist:
What Artists Perceive in the Art of Others | Thursday, October 6
7:00 PM
Artists visit museums both for pleasure and to learn. Tag along with Lincoln Perry and discover how a painting’s composition and content or a sculpture’s spatial structure influence the experience of what you’re seeing. With an artist as your guide, you can begin to see art as an artist does. A visit to view art can be overwhelming, exhausting, and unrewarding. Lincoln Perry wants to change that.
Lincoln Perry’s distinctive landscapes, figurative paintings, and sculptures have been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions across the country. His large-scale murals can be found in landmark buildings such as the Met Life building in St. Louis and Old Cabell Hall at the University of Virginia. The monograph Lincoln Perry's Charlottesville includes an essay and interview by his wife, Ann Beattie. His essays on art have appeared in The American Scholar, Arion, Salmagundi, The Yale Review, and other journals. Mr. Perry divides his time between York Maine, Virginia, and Florida.
