SUMMARY:YOURS\, ISABELLA a New Play about Isabella Stewart Gardner\, by Ulrika Brand
DESCRIPTION:Drop into Wistariahurst Museum this spring to enjoy Yours\, Isabella\, the dramatic reading of a new play about museum founder Isabella Stewart Gardner written by Ulrika Brand. To be performed by professional actors and UMass Amherst theater students\, Yours\, Isabella focuses on the life of Isabella Stewart Gardner from 1887 to 1903\, beginning when she commissioned her portrait by John Singer Sargent and made her first major art purchases. The play also explores Gardner’s relationship with art advisor Bernard Berenson\, showcasing their friendship and Berenson’s self-invention. In an era when women were expected to focus on domestic roles\, Gardner defied norms by turning her home into a salon for artists and musicians\, and building a museum in Boston that remains a magnificent cultural attraction. \n“Ms. Brand’s play is a fascinating examination of the interplay between the passion for collecting and gender restrictions on women in the Gilded Age\,” comments Monika Schmitter\, Professor of Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. “Based on historical letters by Isabella Stewart Gardner and her art advisors\, it vividly portrays the sometimes unsavory dealings that led to the establishment of one of the country’s most famous and unique house museums.” \nStephanie Carlson leads the cast as Isabella Stewart Gardner\, accompanied by Frank Aronson\, Carolyn Cooper\, Rebecca Hicks\, Michael Jay\, Kimberly Salditt Poulin\, Kitty Ryan\, and Cole Seitz. This event is free and open to the public\, supported by a grant from the Holyoke Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. \nFor the Saturday\, April 6\, 7 pm Dramatic Reading seating is limited\, registration is required.

SUMMARY:Hues of Holyoke
DESCRIPTION:The Hues of Holyoke \nPaintings of the Holyoke Mills by Lora Barrett \nCelebrating the 150th Anniversary of Holyoke \nWistariahurst Museum \nOpening Reception August 3\, 2023 from 4:30-6:30 pm \npaintings on view August 3-30 \n“The mills of Holyoke are among my favorite subject matter for painting. People may think these buildings are plain and lacking in warmth and color\, but I find them anything but. Quite the contrary\, I find the mills to be stately\, powerful representations of so much of the city’s shared history. \nHave you ever looked at the grandness of our mills? Every time I pass one\, I see something different. It could be the shape of a window\, the color of an entrance\, the slope of the roofline\, or the reflections in the canals.  In painting these simple parts of our city\, I think of the many waves of people who have come here to work in those mills and to make Holyoke their home. There was struggle; there was failure; there was success; there is beauty. ”     \nPlease join us for a display of Lora Barrett’s most recent 2023 Holyoke Mill Paintings.  \nPaintings available for purchase.
