Worlds A Stage Players presented their Shakespeare Eras performance at the Griffin Terrace to a great crowd on June 21. This year's Griffin Terrace Series was sponsored in part by Winchester Cultural Council. Photo credit: Peter Pulsifer And just like that, Griffin's annual outdoor summer exhibit is in the books. This year the Vision(ary) exhibit featured photo cubes, student exhibit Photosynthesis, and sidewalk art featuring themes about community and our Town with artists from near and far. We are so excited to expand our Youth Art this year highlighting work by over 50 students from Winchester's Public Schools, Studio on the Common, Winchester Community Music School, and Winchester School of Chinese Culture. The Winchester Public School exhibit is curated by Visual Art Department Chair, Jennifer Levatino. This exhibit is made possible by a generous grant from The Winchester Foundation for Educational Excellence (WFEE). We are thrilled that WFEE has funded this exhibit for a second year and expanded it so that more work can be included. Special thanks to Anna Paradis, Dean of Student Life at the Winchester High School for advocating for our young artists. New, this year, Studio on the Common, Winchester School of Chinese Culture, and Winchester Community Music School sponsored tiles are showcasing student work from their schools. The Winchester Community Music School is featuring two young learners, along with an adult learner, via Hoverlay, our augmented reality platform. Scan the QR code on the Mt. Vernon Street tile near the Aberjona River to enjoy their performances. All sidewalk tiles are designed by artist Marissa Mazzone. Stroll through the Cultural District to see all our 2024 tiles, including our local business sponsored tiles featuring local photographers curated by the Griffin Museum.
For Earth Day, we unveiled our two Found Art sculptures by Stefanie Timmerman and August Westner as part of the Conservation Commission's annual Aberjona Day Clean-Up. In addition, Griffin photographers were on hand to take photos of Winchester youth for the "I MATTER" project. Stay tuned to this summer's Photoville exhibit to see the cube. |
