SUMMARY:A Perpetual Invitation: 150 Years of Art at the Concord Free Public Library
DESCRIPTION:In honor of the Concord Free Public Library’s 150th Anniversary\, the Concord Museum\, the Concord Free Public Library\, and the Concord Free Public Library Corporation’s William Munroe Special Collections have collaborated on a special exhibition featuring the Library’s art collection. Featured objects include paintings by Washington Allston\, N.C. Wyeth\, May Alcott Nieriker\, Charles Hovey Pepper\, Alicia Keyes\, and Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts\, among other artists\, as well as sculptures depicting noted Concord authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne\, Henry David Thoreau\, and Louisa May Alcott. \n\n\n\nWhen establishing the Library in 1873\, founder William Munroe envisioned a combined library and art gallery\, with the goal of creating a public space where Concord residents could experience art and culture. Munroe aimed to offer artists\, donors\, and visitors a “perpetual invitation” to explore and expand the Library’s art collection. The original architectural plans for the Main Library included an art museum annex but the space was never built. This exhibition is a unique opportunity for the public to view the Library’s collection in a single gallery space. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition also highlights Concord’s artist communities\, local art collectors\, the history of institutions promoting public access to works of art\, and the stories of specific artists who have lived and worked in Concord. \n\n\n\nA variety of public programs exploring Concord’s art and history will be presented at both the Museum and the Concord Free Public Library. See the Calendar for program information. \n\n\n\nJoin us for Gallery Talks with the Curators from the Concord Free Public Library Corporation’s William Munroe Special Collections on Friday\, June 16\, at 12 p.m.\, Friday\, July 14\, at 12 p.m.\, and Friday\, August 18\, at 12 p.m. \n\n\n\nA Perpetual Invitation: 150 Years of Art at the Concord Free Public Library will be on view at the Concord Museum through September 4\, 2023.Image: Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts\, Church at Annisquam.

SUMMARY:Liberty and Loyalty: Embroidered Coats of Arms in an Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In 1775\, Mary Jones of Weston Massachusetts watched her life collapse around her as her family\, all supporters of the British Crown\, fled their homes and had their immense fortune confiscated during the Revolution. Among what she had left to remember them was a mostly finished needlework sampler displaying the Jones family coat of arms. Years later\, she returned to Massachusetts and settled in Concord\, where this sampler now resides in the collection of the Concord Museum. \nErica Lome\, PhD\, Associate Curator at Historic New England\, uses this needlework as a starting point to survey the history of embroidered coats of arms worked in Boston in the late eighteenth century. More than an accomplishment of a genteel education\, heraldic needlework was created by young women to document their family genealogy\, a practice that endured through war\, exile\, and independence. Join us to hear more stories about needlework\, women\, family\, and legacy in an age of Revolution. \nThis program is being held in-person at the Concord Museum.  Please register using the form below. \n  \nFeatured Image: Needlework by Mary Jones\, 1760-1770.
