SUMMARY:Revisiting the "Brown Decades": Tonalism and the American South
DESCRIPTION:Image Credit: Eliot Clark\, Storm\, Virginia\, undated\, oil on canvas. Support: 6 x 8 1/2 inches; Image: 5 3/4 x 8 inches; Framed: 16 5/8 x 18 1/2 x 2 inches. On Loan from The Johnson Collection\, Spartenburg\, South Carolina. \nFollowing the American Civil War\, American artists quieted their paintings\, embracing blurred contours\, muted palettes\, and introspective atmospheres. Often considered the moody counterpoint to Impressionism’s vibrant and light-filled canvases\, Tonalism offered a harmonious space for respite and reflection in a rapidly changing world. This lecture will explore the foundations of this often-misunderstood artistic movement and how the landscape of the American South became a subject for the art of painting softly. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:"More Magnificent than Imagination": Camp Catawba as Muse
DESCRIPTION:Places can be inspiring\, and Western North Carolina boasts quite a few.  Nestled in the mountains in Blowing Rock\, Camp Catawba\, a summer camp operating between 1945 and 1970\, inspired its founder\, Vera Lachmann\, and her partner\, Tui St. George Tucker\, in a variety of ways.

Then she will share the poetry and music created by Lachmann and Tucker that reflect their passion for Catawba\, and the ways in which they constructed an artistic community within that place that nurtured the creativity of the campers. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Creatures of the Night & Bonfire Delight at Grandfather Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Embrace your nocturnal side at Grandfather Mountain through Creatures of the Night and Bonfire Delight\, the park’s after-hours program where guests enjoy rare after-dark tours\, fireside tales and a chance to meet the park’s nighttime residents. \nThe evening begins around the glow of a bonfire at the Woods Walk Picnic Area as night falls. Guests will then have the opportunity to partake in three unique experiences as the group splits up and alternates between the different parts of the mountain. These activities include a trek (via shuttle) to atop the mountain at the Mile High Swinging Bridge\, as well as a visit to the Mildred the Bear Animal Habitats for a behind-the-scenes tour in which guests get to experience the mountain in a similar fashion as its nocturnal critters. The tour is conducted using red-light flashlights\, with an emphasis placed on the guests’ sensory experience while getting up close with the park’s bears\, otters\, elk and cougars. An educational focus is also placed on how the animals may use their senses of smell or eyesight to navigate or hunt at night. \nGroups will then descend back to the Woods Walk Picnic Area to gather around the fire\, roast s’mores and hear folktales from one of the mountain’s naturalists or educators. \nHours are 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The event is open to 50 participants\, and tickets are $40 for general admission or $34 for Bridge Club members. \nWebsite

Vera and her partner\, Tui St. George Tucker (the camp’s music director)\, ran the camp from 1944 to 1970. \nWebsite
