SUMMARY:BIBELOTS: SMALL OBJECTS OF CURIOSITY from Judith Ferrara
DESCRIPTION:City Tree by Judith Ferrara\nFor the month of July\, Bibelots\, a series of drawings by Worcester artist and poet Judith Ferrara\, will be on view and for sale in our cafe. \nStop in anytime during regular business hours to check it out! Free and open to the public with safety protocols in place. Masks must be worn\, no more than 12 people in the store at any one time. Tue-Fri 10-5\, Sat 10-4 \nTo view a special interview with the artist\, go HERE. \nThe Bibelot series is the fourth iteration of a meditative drawing technique called the Zentangle Method that Judith learned in a May 2009 workshop. Each series has had its own life\, but its DNA is in drawing free-form patterns. Every Bibelot is an evocative abstract composition\, bursting with shapes that dance\, collide and come to rest in a harmonious\, complex design. \nFor more information\, visit Judith’s website HERE. \n  \nArtist’s statement: \nThe exhibit concept and title came from a poem\, “Poor light\,” by Mark Waldron\, published in the October 2017 issue of Poetry. It is an ode to poor light. When Waldron used the word “bibelots” to describe eyes\, it sent me flying to a dictionary to appreciate exactly how perfect a word it is – “bibelot: a small object of curiosity\, beauty\, or rarity” (The Random House Dictionary). \nSomething else struck me. That was precisely what I had been creating for the past two years! Small – In 2016\, I had decided to reduce my series size from 8” squares to 6”.  Object – because of the 2” cradle\, each piece mimics a box. Curiosity – intricate abstract patterns draw viewers close\, as they try to figure out the shapes. Beauty – even though I believe each one is\, I offer viewers 31 bibelots to decide.  Rarity – that’s the one-of-a-kind nature of most art.

SUMMARY:Road May Rise CD release with Mark & Raianne
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom as we feature the newest CD and album release for well known & loved local musicians Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards! The event is free but tickets must be reserved in advance. CDs and albums may be purchased or ordered for local pickup at Booklovers’ Gourmet. \nTo sign up go HERE. \nTo order the album go HERE. \n  \nMark Mandeville & Raianne Richards have contributed their first decade to the legacy of American folk and country music\, sharing emotively intelligent lyrics\, unmistakable vocal harmonies\, and a unique blend of instrumentation with audiences throughout the US and Canada. The songs poetically reflect their personal experience as factory workers\, teachers\, community organizers and natives of postindustrial mill towns in central Massachusetts. Accompanying themselves on guitar\, harmonica\, ukulele\, penny whistle\, electric bass\, and most uniquely clarinet\, their live performance is often punctuated by humorous commentary. \nRoad May Rise\, their third studio album\, was recorded at Signature Sounds Studio by Mark Thayer and mixed/mastered at Black Forest Sound Studio by Kyle Swartzwelder. The title track\, written by Mandeville for a play performed at the Factory Theater in Chicago\, has been awarded Honorable Mention by the Songwriters’ Association of Washington DC (SAW). Studio musicians include Doug Williamson (piano\, guitar\, mandolin\, upright bass)\, Peter Hart (pedal steel\, guitar) and Zack Ciras (upright bass). All songs have been written by Mark and Raianne\, except for the spirited cover of Robin and Linda Williams’ Don’t Let Me Come Home A Stranger. \nThis album follows three previous releases on Nobody’s Favorite Records: Hard Times & Woes (2014); Grain By Grain (2016); Home Routes – Live in Manitoba (2018). \n

SUMMARY:Flower Portraits Photo Show
DESCRIPTION:Rudbeckia by Don McCallister\nHaving recently learned techniques of portraiture photography\, Don McCallister realized that our gardens held a slew of potential subjects.

Her interest continued to expand\, learning about Black Swallowtails\, Red Admirals\, Spicebush Swallowtails\, and Promethea Silkmoths.

Through craft fairs\, library displays\, and social media posts\, Nicole is opening eyes to the curious life of pollinators and the need for conservation.  Follow Nicole on Instagram at @naturesperspectivephotos to join her on an endless search for the perfect photos of new and different butterfly species.

Their goal is to see married couples communicating\, working together and growing in their love for one another. They want single people to understand that life \nis still great regardless of their single status. In addition to understanding that singleness is a time for preparation and personal self-growth and love.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception for "In Pieces"
DESCRIPTION:Afterglow by Lora Brueck\nMeet and greet with artist/photographer Lora Brueck. \nLight refreshments will be served. Free and open to the public. \nArtist’s Bio \nWith almost 30 years of photography behind me\, I have seen and enjoyed many photographic processes from black and white film to digital.  In the early 1990s\, I began using infrared film and hand-coloring my infrared images\, creating and exhibiting series including classic cars and carnival rides. In 1995\, I was introduced to making artists’ books\, individual books which use collage\, photography\, printing and other techniques. This allowed me to use my photography in ways other than matting and framing.  Creating artists books challenged me to sequence images to tell a story\, paying particular attention to form and craftsmanship \nIn moving from film to digital photography\, I began exploring mixed media and collage\, using my own photographic images as points of departure. What I find intriguing about collage is combining images and materials from different sources and contexts to create new pieces with a new meanings. I enjoy the craft aspect of decorating  paper\, using paste and various printing techniques.  I have combined these techniques along with my photography in this show “In Pieces.” \nI have exhibited my work in solo and group shows since the 1980s.  As a member of the Sunday Photography Group\, ARTXII\, the Boston Book Arts\, and f8\, I have participated in collaborative and collective exhibitions in the Worcester area.

SUMMARY:In Pieces – Photographic Works by Lora Brueck
DESCRIPTION:Ships of Galilee by Lora Brueck\n“In Pieces” combines photography and paper crafts to create unique two-dimensional photographic works.  The artworks are made in a grid configuration using individual collaged photographs bordered by unique papers in quilt-like patterns.  The grids are united by theme\, color\, or shape to tell a story.  The paper borders serve as frames both containing and expanding on the grid images. \nIn the world of digital photography\, where it is possible to create hundreds of images in one shooting session\, a single perfect image\, matted and framed\, may not tell the whole story.  The collaged works in this show delve deeper into a site or event to create a totally new work combining shapes and colors of related\, or in some cases\, unrelated subjects.

SUMMARY:Meet Author/Illustrator Ralph Masiello
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Small Business Saturday with a special appearance by author/illustrator Ralph Masiello! Ralph Masiello—affectionately known as ‘The Icky Bug Man’—has illustrated several children’s books including The Icky Bug Alphabet Book\, The Yucky Reptile Alphabet Book\, and The Flag We Love. \nIn 2004\, Ralph’s first book as both author and illustrator was released–Ralph Masiello’s Bug Drawing Book. With his signature humor and simple instructions anyone can learn to draw. His latest book\, Ralph Masiello’s Alien Drawing Book\, was released in October 2019 by Charlesbridge Press. \nA graduate of Rhode Island School of Design\, Ralph has produced numerous works of fine art for galleries in addition to picture book illustrations and magazine covers for Omni and Tennis. He is twice the recipient of the Society of Illustrators Certificate of Merit. But it is his visits with school children that give him the most satisfaction. “Adults are very subdued. They say\, ‘Isn’t that lovely?’ But children will go\, ‘That’s so cool\, dude!’ That’s better than any award.” Along with discussing the technical aspects of book making\, Ralph tells his audience about his own education\, stressing reading and library skills as they relate to the research and development of an accurately illustrated book. Audience participation and spontaneity is highly emphasized and always leads to boisterous\, but stimulating and educational\, fun for kids. For years\, children have benefited from visits from ‘The Icky Bug Man.’ \nRalph is the father of two daughters and lives in Thompson\, CT.
