SUMMARY:Weekend Workshops: Elmer Boyd Smith and Country Landscapes in Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:Elmer Boyd Smith (1860-1943) was a prominent American painter\, writer and illustrator of children’s books. Born in Saint John\, New Brunswick\, and raised in Boston\, Smith was classically trained as a painter in France. He moved to Wilton during the early 1900s where he found a successful career as an author and illustrator. The images in his books were often inspired by or directly copied from the scenes he saw throughout Wilton. \nOn Saturday\, June 10\, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold its very own Elmer Boyd Smith and Country Landscapes in Watercolor workshop for kids. Participants will view “The Town Book: E. Boyd Smith’s 20th Century Wilton” exhibit in the main gallery before embarking on a “make your own watercolor” adventure\, led by Museum Educator Catherine Lipper\, with modern images of known Wilton landmarks as inspiration. \nThis program is suggested for ages 6-10. $10 per child for members and $15 per child for non-members. \nRegister on the Wilton Historical Society’s website or via email.

SUMMARY:Exhibitions Reception at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, May 19\, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.\, the Wilton Historical Society will hold a reception to celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions. \nCommitment to Community: The Lives of Laurent Clerc and Francis Clerc Ogden is developed in partnership with the American School for the Deaf\, and explores the lives of two men\, Laurent Clerc and his great-grandson Francis Clerc Ogden. Clerc\, a co-founder of the American School for the Deaf\, spent his life working to make education accessible for deaf students\, including recruiting other trailblazing educators developing sign language. Ogden\, a Wilton resident for nearly 70 years\, was involved in countless town organizations and projects\, including helping to found the Wilton Historical Society. This exhibit will examine the work both men did in service to others and the fortuitous circumstances that brought two organizations together. \nThe Town Book: E. Boyd Smith’s 20th Century Wilton takes a deeper look at Wilton during the early 20th century\, a time of radical transformation for the town\, through the work of a resident who witnessed it firsthand\, E. Boyd Smith. Smith was a children’s book author and illustrator\, and along with his wife Mary\, was an active member of the community. Smith’s illustrations were directly inspired by the scenes he saw as he traveled around Wilton\, often including landmarks familiar to his fellow residents. His books capture a lifestyle that was rapidly disappearing and made it accessible to young readers. The exhibition will display Smith’s art alongside objects from the museum’s collection to offer different perspectives on Wilton’s evolution during the first half of the 1900’s. Funding for this exhibition was provided by Connecticut Humanities. \nThe reception is open to the public at no charge.

SUMMARY:Lives and Landscapes: Art from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:From the town’s beginnings in the early 18th century\, work depicting the people and landscapes of Wilton have reflected the ever-changing artistic tides of subject matter\, materials and styles of the next three centuries. The new exhibition\, Lives and Landscapes: Art from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society\, opening on June 10\, explores highlights of the art collection from the colonial era to the 1970s. Throughout that time\, Wilton has served as inspiration for a wide variety of creators. Whether simply passing through or ensconced as a long-time resident\, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression or fulfilling commercial contracts\, Wilton’s artists produced a diverse body of work. The exhibition runs through October 29. \nMembers of Wilton’s colonial first families\, such as the Lamberts\, Beldens\, and Grummans\, commissioned portraits to help display their wealth and power. The two works on display by itinerant painter Ralph Earl were prized – Earl’s patron’s included founding father Roger Sherman – as were the portraits produced by Gilbert Stuart Newton\, nephew of the renowned Gilbert Stuart. Gilbert Stuart is best known for his iconic images of George Washington. \nOver time\, landscapes rose in popularity. Wilton’s sparsely populated countryside of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries provided beautiful scenery to be captured on canvas and a quiet place to work undisturbed\, while Wilton’s proximity to the cultural hub of New York City ensured a large audience was easily accessible. Artists working in the new Impressionist style\, seeking vistas to be painted “en plein air” populated the area – one of the leaders being J. Alden Weir and his “great good place” Weir Farm. Others like H.G Thomson followed soon after. In the early to mid- 20th century\, a new group of artists emerged. Many congregated in the Silvermine area enjoying both the setting and the proximity to the city. Works produced in Wilton could quickly be placed in any of New York’s numerous museums and galleries. \nTown landmarks\, such as the 1790 Wilton Congregational Church painted in an impressionistic style “en plein air” by Robert Emmett Owen and the 1726 Lambert House by H.G. Thompson\, are beautifully depicted. Other artists represented in the exhibition include Richard Daggy\, sculptor A. Phimister Proctor\, and Hillary Longmuir. \nLives and Landscapes explores Wilton’s artistic legacy through a selection of rarely seen work from Wilton Historical’s permanent collection. These works capture something of the personality of the town through the faces and places depicted. They tell the stories of not only the subject matter of the piece\, but the story of a town. \nWilton Historical Members: Free; Non-members $10

SUMMARY:"Fire and Ice" Ice Cream Social at Wilton Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, July 1 from 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm the Wilton Historical Society Museum Complex will be buzzing with a fun event perfect for kids\, families\, and new residents. The “Fire and Ice” Ice Cream Social is a great way to get into the Fourth of July spirit. \nDocents in Colonial attire will demonstrate all manner of Colonial activities\, from firing Revolutionary War-style muskets to spinning and blacksmithing. Kids can try their hands at spoke shaving\, weaving\, and flax-breaking. Enjoy the ice cream social courtesy of the Drum Hill Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution and Captain David Hawley Betts Society Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.). Learn about the Verbruggen Cannon\, an exact reproduction of a 1776 artillery also known as a “Grasshopper” and find out how it was loaded and fired. \nThe Wilton Historical Society will also debut a new exhibition: “Rebels and Redcoats: The Aftermath of the Battle of Ridgefield”. The highlight is an extraordinary Revolutionary War document\, a letter dated April 26\, 1777\, between General Selleck Silliman and Major General David Wooster\, which may be the last letter sent by General Wooster before he was killed the next day at the Battle of Ridgefield. The exhibition will be accompanied by a new “History is Here” video by Associate Curator Nick Foster. \nDrum Hill Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will hold a patriot look-up session at the ice cream social. Experienced genealogists will be on hand to help you discover your patriotic roots. You may have an ancestor who assisted in the Revolutionary War. Perhaps your ancestor fought; provided food\, clothing\, shelter; or signed an oath of allegiance. There were many ways to be a Revolutionary War patriot. Also on hand – members of the Captain David Hawley Society of the Children of the American Revolution (C.A.R.)

SUMMARY:Rebels and Redcoats: The Aftermath of the Battle of Ridgefield Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:In April 1777\, war came to Wilton. After burning part of Danbury and destroying Continental Army supplies\, British troops under General William Tryon marched through Wilton on their way back to Westport and their fleet. With a sudden alarm sent throughout Connecticut warning of a British invasion\, many hastily assembled soldiers fought to repel the enemy from their homes. Now open\, the Wilton Historical Society presents “Rebels and Redcoats: The Aftermath of the Battle of Ridgefield”\, an exhibition which explores the actions of British\, Patriots\, and civilians involved in the Revolutionary War action known as the Raid on Danbury\, with a particular focus on the march of British troops south down Ridgefield Road through Wilton. \nWilton resident John Reznikoff\, a historic document expert\, has loaned the highlight of the exhibition – an extraordinary piece of correspondence between Patriot Generals David Wooster and Selleck Silliman. The rare 1777 document\, which may be the last one sent by General Wooster before he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Ridgefield the following day\, is displayed along with other historic artifacts and documents from the Permanent Collection of the Wilton Historical Society. The exhibition extends through October 30.

SUMMARY:Women’s Suffrage Centennial in Wilton:  Citizens at Last: Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck\, and the Vote [Exhibition]
DESCRIPTION:2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment guaranteeing and protecting the right to vote for (some) women. Pre-COVID\, the State of Connecticut launched the CT Women’s Suffrage Commission and encouraged municipalities and non-profits to work together to celebrate this anniversary.  A number of Wilton organizations planned events and activities to celebrate this important milestone. Originally scheduled to run as an in-person exhibit from June-September\, this exhibition has transitioned online.  \nOn November 2\, 1920\, Hannah Raymond Ambler proudly wrote “It is my first vote” in her daily journal. This triumphant and poignant phrase\, underlined for emphasis\, captures the voice of just one of the women in Wilton who campaigned for suffrage. Grace Knight Schenck\, a force to be reckoned with in the community\, was a leader who organized the first women’s suffrage meeting in town. The stories of these two women are at the heart of the Wilton Historical Society’s online exhibition “Citizens at Last: Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck and the Vote\,” which joins the national recognition of the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment\, guaranteeing and protecting women’s constitutional right to vote. \nThe exhibition will explore objects\, images\, texts\, historic costumes\, vignettes\, and music to illustrate the activities and contributions of Wilton suffragists\, with a special focus on Hannah Ambler and Grace Schenck—placing the local story in state and national context. \nTheir last names may be well known in Wilton–Ambler Farm and Schenck’s Island are local landmarks–but their individual lives are not. This exhibition will shine a light on Hannah\, Grace\, and other Wilton women who became citizens at last in 1920. \nCitizens at Last:  Hannah Ambler\, Grace Schenck and the Vote will be available indefinitely on the Wilton Historical Society website. \nThis exhibition was made possible with the generous support of the Elizabeth Raymond Ambler Trust. \n

SUMMARY:Transforming Tradition:  Japanese and Korean Contemporary Craft  (Online Exclusive)
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Asia Art Week 2020 this March\, browngrotta arts has collated contemporary works by 12 artists born in Japan and Korea for an online exhibition\, “Transforming Tradition:  Japanese and Korean Contemporary Craft.” The works include ceramics\, weavings\, baskets and sculptures made of paper and silk. \nNotable in the exhibition are paper sculptures by Naomi Kobayashi and an elegant silk thread assemblage by her late husband\, Masakazu Kobayashi. The couple often collaborated\, working on installations that combined elements created by each of them. \n“These works express a shared vision and such common themes as the tranquility of nature\, the infinity of the universe and the Japanese spirit\,” Masakuzu once explained. “Naomi and I work in fiber because natural materials have integrity\, are gentle and flexible. In my own work\, I search for an equilibrium between my capacity as a creator and the energy of the world around me.” \nKeiji Nio’s interlaced wall work is inspired by a haiku\, “Rough Sea of Sado\,” from Japanese haiku master Matsuo Basho’s haiku series. In it\, Basho describes the deep blue waves of the Sea of Japan as they are reflected in the night sky and the light blue waves hitting the beach. The work incorporates ribbons on which Nio has screened images from the sea and tiny pebbles from the shore. Nio is a faculty member at the Kyoto University of Art & Design\, who combines industrial and natural materials in his works to make statements about nature and man’s relationship to the world. \nSeveral ceramics by Yasuhisa Kohyama\, are included in Transforming Tradition. Kohyama is a renowned Shigaraki potter who uses ancient techniques to explore new forms. He gained widespread attention in Japan in the 60s when he built one of the first anagama kilns since medieval times. Collectors and museums have been quick to acquire his works\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Cleveland Museum of Art\, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam\, the Gardiner Museum of Art in Toronto\, the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Museum of Art and Craft in Hamburg and the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Shiga\, Japan. Kohyama’s work graces the cover of Contemporary Clay:  Japanese Ceramics for the New Century by collectors Alice and Halsey North and curator Joe Earle. \nBamboo sculptures by Jiro Yonzawa are also part of browngrotta arts’ exhibition. Yonezawa has been recognized with the Cotsen Prize\, a commission from Loewe to work in leather and inclusion in the prestigious Japan Nitten National Fine Arts Exhibit. Yonezawa has explained his work:  “Bamboo basketry for me is an expression of detailed precision. These baskets represent a search for the beauty and precision in nature and a way to balance the chaos evident in these times.” \nKorean artist Chang Yeonsoon\, who creates ethereal works of starched indigo\, was Artist of the Year at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul in 2008. For 35 years\, Jin-Sook So\, also of Korea\, has been creating dimensional works—sculptural vessels and wall pieces—from stainless steel mesh to international acclaim. \nYou can view “Transforming Tradition: Japanese and Korean Contemporary Contemporary Craft” online by visiting browngrotta arts’ YouTube channel. \nYou can see each individual work in the exhibition on Artsy and learn more about the artists included by visiting arttextstyle and browngrotta arts’ website. \nArtists included:\nChiyoko Tanaka (Japan)\, Jiro Yonezawa (Japan)\, Masakazu Kobayashi (Japan)\, Naomi Kobayashi (Japan)\, Kyoko Kumai (Japan)\, Kiyomi Iwata (Japan/US)\, Yasuhisa Kohyama (Japan)\, Keiji Nio (Japan)\, Hisako Sekijima (Japan)\, Toshio Sekiji (Japan)\, Jin-Sook So (Korea)\, Chang Yeonsoon (Korea) \nAll photos by Tom Grotta\, courtesy of browngrotta arts.
