New art show: Michelle Turbide in November

mt-studios-showcase-3
We are excited to announce that Michelle Turbide will be showing her work at the White Meeting House in November.  A Grand Isle artist as well as a practicing psychotherapist, Michelle creates colorful, narrative images that explore personal transformation and lived experiences using acrylic and mixed media.
In addition to sharing her paintings, Michelle will offer us two other treats:

  1. an art talk on Sunday, November 13 at noon — open to the public; and
  2. a two-hour workshop on art journaling, also on Sunday the 13th, from 1 to 3PM.  The class will be $30 and include all materials; ages high school and older, and any skill or experience levels are welcome.  To sign up, register here.

Michelle’s work will be on display from November 4th through December 1.  Admission is free.  The building is generally open Tues through Friday from 8:30A to 4:30P, and later on Wednesdays. (Still, it’s always a good idea to call 244-6606 and confirm we’re open if you’re making a special trip!)

Chicken Pie Supper is still on for Friday 10/14

Despite the shock and sadness this week, after some consideration, we believe it is best to go ahead with this gathering — using it as a chance to be together.  We are going to make it a by-donation event to make it easier for more people to attend and to focus on being together in this time of sorrow.
In some ways, this makes the “cook-off” aspect even more fortuitous — although hosted by the church, the meal is really being made by the community, for the community.
Thank you for your support of this event.  While the tone may not be as lighthearted and silly as we’d originally hoped, we do aspire to make it a meaningful celebration of community, love and connection —  which will hopefully bring joy to many as well. 
Food will be served from 5 to 7PM and we have 11 local restaurants donating chicken pies for your consideration!  We hope to see you there.

Music at the White Meeting House

Eleva Chamber Orchestra
This is Eleva’s 11th season and each year from their first concert in our sanctuary to last

Dan Liptak

year’s the crowd grows.  The quality of the music is exceptional. This year, Dan Liptak, our Middle School Band director, will be the featured guest in Prokofiev’s Overture on Hebrew Themes.  The program is titled “The Lush Life,” an evening of luscious music rooted in cultural tunes.  I’ve been listening to them all day and can attest to the quality and beauty of the music they make!
We hope you’ll join us for that concert Saturday, November 12 at 7:30 pm.  You can purchase tickets online at www.elevachamberplayers.org or at the door.

Coming in June: Community Art Show

We’ll be doing our second annual community art show in June and July, this year organized around the theme of “Blue!  An Artistic Exploration.”  More info. will be available soon, but we’re looking for creative expressions around the theme in any media — from painting to ceramic to spoken word to sculpture to…. whatever you can help us figure out how to include!  The show will be open to makers from Waterbury, Duxbury, Middlesex, Moretown and Bolton.  Applications (available online soon) will be due 6/15.
