SUMMARY:Women Depicting Other Women
DESCRIPTION:Women Depicting Other Women\n\n\nTuesday\, March 3\, 2026 from 7 to 8:30 PM\n\n\n\nEven though portraying the same biblical female figures (Susanna\, Judith) and /or mythological ones (Circe\, Portia\, Timoclea) Renaissance and Baroque women artists distanced themselves from the traditional portrayal of women as depicted by their male counterparts.\n\nWomen artists chose either different moments of the biblical or mythological story\, or simply viewed women from\, until then\, unexplored angles. That new point of view led them to introduce a completely different style in visual presentation. They created original\, innovative iconography of women: not submissive\, timid\, shy and only beautiful\, like on the paintings of men artists:  the women by Artemisia Gentileschi and Elisabetta Sirani appear strong\, determined\, powerful\, active. These two artists systematically avoided nudity\, sensuality\, sexuality and even the beauty of women; they focused on their act of heroism when\, some of them\, literally take their destiny in their own hands.\n\nNumerous slides will compare traditional portrayals of women with those of women artists; In art history the individual approach of the latter contributed to humanize female portrayal adding complexity to their personality and individuality.\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Hands & Heritage: Italian Crochet Class
DESCRIPTION:Hands & Heritage: Italian Crochet Class\nMonday\, March 16\, 2025 – Monday\, May 11th\, no class on Monday April 27th\n6:00 to 7:30 pm\n$175 members\, $200 non-members\n\n\nDiscover the charm of l’uncinetto—the timeless Italian art of crochet—in this hands-on 8-week cultural crafting experience. Rooted in centuries of domestic artistry\, crochet in Italy has long been a vital form of creative expression\, particularly for those who used thread and skill to create beauty\, provide for their families\, and pass knowledge from one generation to the next. In this workshop\, participants will learn the essential stitches that form the foundation of Italian crochet while creating classic quadratini della nonna (granny squares)\, a beloved motif traditionally shared among mothers\, grandmothers\, and neighbors.\n\nInspired by Trivento\, the small village in Molise celebrated as the “world’s capital of crochet\,” this program honors the enduring importance of handmade traditions in an increasingly fast-paced world. By slowing down and stitching with intention\, participants are invited to connect with Italian language\, heritage\, and community—helping to preserve a living craft that embodies patience\, memory\, and care\, one little hook (uncinetto) at a time.\n\nRegister Here!
