The third season of the year also marks a transition for this newsletter. We are pleased to announce that Bronwen Hodgkinson will become the publisher of the Art Newsletter Experiment beginning next week. We've been delighted to gather and disseminate the Pioneer Valley's art events and opportunities for the past year. But it's time for us to focus on work and to spend more time pursuing our passion for photography which has languished a bit while we produced the newsletter and the Art Walk. What begin as an ambitious labor of love by Mo Ringey, and nurtured by Tom and I for the past year now begins its third chapter in the capable hands of Bronwen. She's knowledgeable, enthusiastic, an art lover and perhaps has no idea what she's gotten herself into. :-) Be nice to her. Art events, exhibitions and opportunities should be submitted via the new home for the newsletter at <a href="http://www.valleyartsnewsletter.com">www.ValleyArtsNewsletter.com</a> or via email at <a href="mailto:art@valleyartsnewsletter.com">art@valleyartsnewsletter.com</a> Be sure to include all of the details of your event information so your listing, and the newsletter, can continue to be a productive source of information for art lovers throughout the region. Your subscription to the newsletter will continue, uninterrupted. Thank you for the opportunity to serve, and we wish Bronwen and the Valley's immense creative talents all the very best. Peace.

An artist’s reception will be held in the gallery on September 14 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Carl Caivano creates abstract colorful wall reliefs referring to shapes found in both nature and culture. His self-described “three dimensional paintings” explore formal artistic elements such as space and form with the use of non-traditional materials. Although spontaneity is evident in his work, Caivano is precise, producing a controlled chaos, and has an unmistakable affinity to abstract expressionism and improvisational jazz music. “What is hard to define but critical to the life of these works is the visceral, instinctual nature that informs them. When a work is successful, it sets off a series of responses that pure formalism does not. I arrive to the completion of the work by intuitive searching. I do not want to arrive at a specific result or a specific meaning but prefer to gather meaning as the work evolves,” says Caivano. A visiting lecturer of design and drawing at Smith College since 1987, Cavaino has had his work shown in selected galleries and museums, including the DeCordova Museum and the Ward Nasse Gallery and Fusion Arts Museum in New York City. He earned his MFA from UMass in 1984. The exhibit is free and open to the public and takes place in the Grubbs Gallery of the Reed Campus Center at The Williston Northampton School.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="information" colspan="2">Contact: Marcia Reed 413-529-3000 mreed@williston.com </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="headline" colspan="2">Frequency Vertebrae: A Studio Process In Paintings, Drawings And Sculpture By Maggie Nowinski</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="35%" align="center"><a href="http://www.eastmontgallery.net"><img border="0" alt="Frequency Vertebrae: A Studio Process in Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture" width="200" height="296" src="http://www.ArtWalkEasthampton.org/artsnewsletter/images/events/406.jpg" /></a> </td> <td class="information" valign="top" width="65%" align="left">Artist: <a name="Maggie_Nowinski">Maggie Nowinski</a> Event: Frequency Vertebrae: A Studio Process in Paintings, Drawings and Sculpture Start Date: Saturday September 6th, 2008 Reception: Saturday September 13th, 2008 @ 5:00 PM End Date: Saturday October 4th, 2008 Location Name: The Elusie Gallery Address: 43 main Street / Old Town Hall City, ST: Easthampton, MA Website: <a href="http://www.eastmontgallery.net">www.eastmontgallery.net</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bodycopy" colspan="2">Maggie Nowinski is an interdisciplinary visual artist, musician and educator, who lives in Easthampton, Ma.

Each author will offer readings and discussions of their work this fall. The series kicks off with author Gregory Maguire on September 16, 2008, 7:00 p.m. in the Williston Theatre. Gregory Maguire's latest novel, Son of a Witch, tells the story of Liir, the son of the Wicked Witch killed by Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Son of a Witch is the sequel to Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which has since been made into an award-winning Broadway musical. In addition to Son of a Witch and Wicked, Maguire has written two other novels for adults, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Mirror Mirror; and more than a dozen novels for children. After the publication of Wicked in 1995, John Updike praised the book in The New Yorker as "an amazing novel." The Boston Globe described Son of a Witch as "vintage Maguire, thoroughly entertaining even at its darkest. Oz is as complex and satisfying a fantastic world as ever, wonderfully described." Gregory Maguire received his Ph.D. in English and American Literature from Tufts University and is co-director of Children's Liter ature New England, Incorporated, a non-profit educational charity that focuses attention on the significance of literature in the lives of children.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="information" colspan="2">Contact: Andrew Shelffo 413-529-3237 ashelffo@williston.com </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="headline" colspan="2">Sometimes Art Can Be Useful (aka When I Do Laundry, I Am A Star)</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="35%" align="center"><a href="http://http://artcanbeuseful.com/"><img border="0" alt="Sometimes Art Can Be Useful (aka when I do laundry, I am a star)" width="200" height="198" src="http://www.ArtWalkEasthampton.org/artsnewsletter/images/events/417.jpg" /></a> </td> <td class="information" valign="top" width="65%" align="left">Event: Sometimes Art Can Be Useful (aka when I do laundry, I am a star) Start Date: Monday September 1st, 2008 Reception: Saturday September 13th, 2008 @ 5:00 PM End Date: Tuesday September 30th, 2008 Location Name: Easthampton Laundromat Address: 33 Cottage Street City, ST: Easthampton, MA Website: <a href="http://http://artcanbeuseful.com/">http://artcanbeuseful.com/</a> Fee: 0 </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bodycopy" colspan="2">San Huxley presents Sometimes Art Can Be Useful (aka when I do laundry, I am a star), an exhibit at the Easthampton Laundromat at 66 Cottage Street, Easthampton, MA on September 1- 30, 6 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. The exhibition includes a collection of color photographic portraits taken at the Lost Sock in Easthampton and the Easthampton Laundromat. The artist was initially fascinated with the repetitive industrial interior landscapes and retro color combinations of laundromats. Despite the visual interest, it was still not enough to initiate clothes cleaning. “Taking these portraits motivated me to do my laundry on a weekly basis. Becoming my own star in my daily chores was an instigator to tackle that pile of clothes,” says the pseudo-anonymous artist. The exhibition serves as an intersection of two worlds: the less functional world of art and the very practical laundromat. A space that is used as a commonplace for mundane tasks is now transformed into a gallery space for viewers doing their laundry. No opening will accompany this exhibit. Viewing is recommended whenever the overflow of laundry is unbearable.

All events are free and open to the public. A resident of Amherst, Kruger is an award-winning fiber artist and nationally-recognized speaker. She has invented a unique blend of fiber and encaustic, creating a body of work that is both contemporary and archetypal. “I am drawn to indigenous art from West Africa and especially the Amazon Basin where feathers are frequently used in the creation of ceremonial clothing,” says Kruger. “I am inspired by the innate message that art making is both sensible and sacred.” Kruger’s work has been featured in galleries across the country. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York with a degree in textile and surface design. Kruger maintains a studio in the Arts & Industry Building in Florence.</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="information" colspan="2">Contact: Patricia Jenks </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <a href="#top">Top</a> <a name="Call_for_Artist">Call for Artists</a> <table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="headline" colspan="2">Short Story Fiction Submissions Accepted</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="information" valign="top" colspan="2" align="left">Sponsoring Group Name: WXOJ LP FM Show Name: SHORT STORY FICTION SUBMISSIONS ACCEPTED Submission Due Date: Wednesday December 31st, 2008 Submission Fees: none Website: <a href="http://Lit1033.com">Lit1033.com</a> City, ST: Northampton, MA </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="bodycopy" colspan="2">At 1:00 PM every Tuesday, on WXOJ LP, 103.3 (Valley Free Radio), Lit103.3 airs the reading of one or two short stories.

UMASS Fine Arts Program graduate Susannah Auferoth works in her Hatfield studio creating paintings on paper and wood panel that explore color, form, and meaning. While their horizontal orientation and bands of color evoke more traditional land or waterscapes, the inclusion of repeated images or figures in Auferoth’s paintings adds a layer of complexity and mystery while increasing the inherent abstraction of the works. Hillary Milens, also a graduate of UMASS’ Fine Arts program, began experimenting with drawing and painting after concentrating mainly in sculpture while at UMASS. An exploration of surface, texture, and color, her paintings are made by building up and breaking down the surface of wood by applying layers of paint, scraping into it and marking the surface with various tools and techniques. An interest in repetition, organic form and the meditative process are present in the paintings. Works by Italian artist Alberto Mancini based on his concurrent exhibition of Emily Dickinson-inspired paintings at Amherst College, will be on view in the rear of wünderarts for the duration of GIFT.

The exhibit, sponsored by the Emily Dickinson Museum, includes 29 paintings inspired by the poetry of Emily Dickinson and is on view in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Emily Dickinson International Society (EDIS). More a conversation with the poet than a systematic interpretation, Mancini’s exhibition has no central thesis, but rather serves as a series of visual rejoinders to Dickinson’s interest in the endless flux of human perception. The artist’s fascination with transfiguration derives in part from a personal encounter with rebirth that took place in 1990, when a cerebral hemorrhage left him in a coma for six weeks and resulted in partial paralysis that lingered for two years. Fighting back from memory loss so profound that for a time he didn't know his name, he witnessed first-hand the way worlds materialize unexpectedly, flooding darkness with light. Now in his late 40s, Mancini lives in the small village of Atina, between Naples and Rome, where his family has lived for more than 400 years; he also spends part of the year in Easthampton, Mass. His paintings have been exhibited throughout Italy, in Saudi Arabia and Florida and most recently in a solo exhibition at The Morrison Gallery in Kent, Conn.

We can draw lessons from its winners, like the Mongols who adapted to the changes, as well as from its losers, like the Maya, who didnâ€™t. Fagan has written extensively about how climate affects the course of human history. His books include THE LONG SUMMER, THE LITTLE ICE AGE and now, THE GREAT WARMING. Rheannonâ€™s second guest, George Monbiot, says itâ€™s a false assumption to think we canâ€™t afford to make the transition to renewable fuels. Earlier this month, he wrote on his blog Monbiot.com there is no cheap alternative to a green economy. And the famous 2006 Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change said that while going green will cost an estimated 1% of the worldâ€™s GDP, not doing so would cost as much as 20% of GDP. Monbiotâ€™s book HEAT, HOW TO STOP THE PLANET FROM BURNING is an essential guide to clear thinking about the climate crisis and solutions. In this abridged version of our interview last year, Monbiot talks about the kind of economic sticks and carrots that could end up not only saving us all a lot of money, but the planet, as well. And biofeedback pioneer Les Fehmi talks about simple techniques for accessing the right brainâ€™s power of â€&oelig;open-focusâ€ that can heal mind and body and open up the channels of insight.

DO NOT SEND IT AS AN ATTACHMENT, rather,include it in the body of your email, together with any biographical or other relevant information you'd like read before/after the broadcast. Because the reading is over the public airwaves FCC guidelines apply. Like Norman Mailer in The Naked and the Dead, the reader can fug around with words to a certain extent, but if the overall sexual content is too explicit it won't work. The explicit original story will be available on the website.
