SUMMARY:How NYC Became the Art Capital of the World
DESCRIPTION:After World War II\, the center of the art world shifted from Paris to New York. It is here that new modern art styles and movements were born\, such as Abstract Expressionism\, Minimalism\, Conceptualism\, Color Field\, and Pop Art. Many artists from Europe migrated to New York\, seeking new opportunities. In addition\, American artists such as Jackson Pollock\, Sol LeWitt\, Mark Rothko\, Alex Katz\, and Roy Lichtenstein emerged onto the art scene and were central to these movements. Consultant Scott Verchin will discuss how  New York’s museums are collectively evolving into becoming the world’s leading cultural institutions for fine art.  Advance registration appreciated.

SUMMARY:Stone Footprints: The Wandering Plaque of 1911
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Museum for a FREE presentation where Jennifer Klau\, Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford\, will share an exciting new research project that illuminates the experiences of the Jewish immigrants that once made the North End of Hartford their home. Ccome early to visit our new exhibition\, “Drawn Here: Stories from Hartford’s North End.” \nWhat is the Wandering Plaque of 1911? \nAn enormous marble plaque from 1911\, serendipitously rediscovered in the basement of a Hartford school building\, sparked a fascinating research dive into long-demolished buildings\, extinct and extant community institutions\, continuity and change. The story of this slab of marble illustrates the comings and goings of Hartford’s Jewish community from its roots in the North End to its eventual and complete migration to the suburbs. \nThe plaque’s journey from one building to another\, where it was abandoned for about 75 years as the community moved away\, is an example of rich heritage that can easily disappear and a hopeful story about recovering the past. \nA companion program to the Making History\, Making Change Lecture Series organized by Smithsonian Affiliations. \nAbout the Speaker: \nJennifer Klau is the Executive Director of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford. Before embracing her inner history nerd\, Jennifer worked in the healthcare sciences realm as Director of Research for a healthcare startup\, Adjunct Professor at Central Connecticut State University and as a Master Instructor for the SpinningTM program\, training instructors and creating and presenting continuing education courses. \nKlau has served as the President of Beth David Synagogue in West Hartford\, CT twice\, heads several committees and continues to serve on its board.
