Inviting local artists for annual juried art show

Now an annual tradition at the Sharon Historical Society’s art gallery, local and area artists are invited to submit works for the 2024 juried exhibit to be on display and available for purchase between Saturday, Feb. 17, and Friday, March 29.

This year’s theme is “Let’s Dance.” The exhibit will run concurrently with the historical society’s showing of a photographic collection titled “Ballet Through the Lens: Photography of Fran Kelsey.”

Artists are invited to submit their own works in celebration of the concept of dance, whether a literal depiction or a work that might be inspired by the idea of dance, incorporating movement, flow, joy or exhilaration, or even sequential use of space.

Works in any medium are welcome, whether oil, acrylic, watercolor, drawing, pastels, photography, print, ink, sculpture, fabric, stone, clay or others.

Submissions must be delivered to the historical society Wednesday, Feb. 14, between 9 and 11 a.m. or by arrangement. There is an entry fee for each submission; cash prizes will be awarded by the judges. There will also be an award category called SHS Crowd Pleaser based on visitors’ personal favorites.

Congregation Beth David in Amenia hosted a conversation on the enduring legacy of Anne Frank, one of the 20th century’s most iconic figures. Ruth Franklin, award-winning biographer and critic, shared insights from her highly acclaimed book “The Many Lives of Anne Frank” with thought-provoking questions from Ileene Smith, Editorial Director of the Jewish Lives series. This event, held on July 23 — the date Anne Frank would have turned 96 — invited the large audience to reconsider Anne Frank not just as the young writer of a world-famous diary, but as a cultural symbol shaped by decades of representation and misrepresentation.

Franklin and Smith dove right in; Franklin reading a passage from the book that exemplified her approach to Anne’s life. She described her work as both a biography of Anne Frank and a cultural history of the diary itself, a document that has resonated across the world.

Sunday, July 20 was sunny and warm. Nic Mayorga, son of American concert pianist, the late Lincoln Mayorga, joined me at Tanglewood to hear Yuja Wang play Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16. I first saw Wang on July 8, 2022, when she filled in for Jean-Yves Thibaudet on the opening night of Tanglewood’s summer season. She virtually blew the shed down with her powerful and dynamic playing of Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 1.

Nic was my guest last season on July 13, when Wang wowed us with her delicate interpretation of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4. We made plans on the spot to return for her next date in Lenox.
