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:Interwoven: Women's Lives Written in Thread
DESCRIPTION:Our current special exhibition\, Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread\, highlights needlework produced by young women in New England and specifically the extraordinary collection of samplers at the Concord Museum. Featuring 30 samplers sewn in the early 1700s to mid-1800s\, Interwoven explores how young women created records of their own lives and experiences\, written in thread. \nThe exhibition explores the history of needlework and embroidery\, its importance as an art form\, and its significance to women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Intended to showcase young women’s accomplishments\, the samplers also communicate details of their lives and education\, their communities\, and their families. The exhibition provides a unique view into their private lives. For most of these young women\, their samplers are the only objects that survive from their lives. Many of the samplers have never been displayed before. \nLearn about the education of privileged young women in the early republic and understand how wealth and enslaved labor enabled them to pursue decorative arts. Explore the materials used in constructing samplers\, such as linens\, dyes and silk\, and how and where these materials were produced. View samplers that demonstrate how women recorded family history and the loss of loved ones through needlework. Understand how they incorporated the importance of community and a strong sense of place in their samplers. \nThe gallery includes areas for hands-on and interactive activities. Exhibition programs connect the history of samplers to contemporary work through visiting artists\, demonstrations\, workshops\, and more. \nImage credit: Detail of Sampler by Phebe Bliss\, 1749.
