Artist To Speak at Ventfort Hall

08:31AM / Wednesday, June 21, 2023Print Story | Email Story

LENOX, Mass. — Join painter, sculptor and author Lincoln Perry for a talk about not only some of the world's greatest art, but how an artist views, experiences and borrows from that art in his recently published book, "Seeing Like An Artist."

A tea will follow his presentation.

His talk will describe some of the formal and metaphoric lessons taught by art encountered in museums, with the understanding that such "advice" can help non-artists more fully enjoy what they see as well. His book is currently on sale in the gift shop.

Perry has been painting and sculpting for roughly half a century. He has shown around the country, as well as doing murals in Washington, D.C, St. Louis, Tallahassee, Florida and at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Tickets are $30 for members and with advance reservation; $35 day of; $22 for students 22 and under. Reservations are strongly encouraged as seats are limited. Walk-ins accommodated as space allows. For reservations visit https://gildedage.org/events/ or call at (413) 637-3206.

All tickets are nonrefundable and non-exchangeable. The historical mansion is located at 104 Walker Street in Lenox.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — City and school officials will meet a second time to vote in two new members of the School Committee.

The joint convention of the City Council and School Committee will be held on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the City Hall conference room and via Zoom.

Damon Grimes and Paul Moriarty were jointly elected on Monday to fill two seats vacated by resignation. They were two of four candidates standing for election.

Mayor Jennifer Macksey, chair of the School Committee, said she had received in inquiry about the votes, which were done by secret ballot.

"I have been advised that voting by ballot was not permissible in this circumstance," she said, after consulting the School Committee's attorney Adam Dupere and city solicitor KP Law.

To ensure the validity of the votes and conduct of the election, the joint convention will reconvene and formally confirm the selection of Grimes and Moriarty.

"I apologize for the inconvenience of having to reconvene," the mayor said in a statement. "My intention in using a ballot was to address concerns raised following our previous convention, when some members expressed discomfort with publicly voting for or against individual candidates.
