SUMMARY:Open Gallery Hours: "Colors of Grief\," A Rick's Place Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Rick’s Place Honors Children’s Grief Awareness Month with “Colors of Grief”\, an art exhibit showcasing poignant artwork created by both youth and adult participants from Rick’s Place. \nRick’s Place\, a beacon of support for children\, teens\, and families navigating grief\, is proud to present a special gallery exhibit at the historic Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Titled “Colors of Grief\,” artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate\, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief. \nRick’s Place aims to have this event serve a dual purpose: raising greater awareness about the profound impact of death\, grief\, and loss on youth and families\, and providing a platform for individuals to tell their stories through creative expression. With over 5\,000 children in Hampden County experiencing the loss of a parent or sibling\, Rick’s Place\, a non-profit organization\, extends its helping hand to youth between the ages of 5 and 18\, along with their caregivers\, who have confronted death. Peer support programs\, both on-site and in local schools\, help youth feel supported\, understood\, and less alone in their grief. \nWe cordially invite you to join us in celebrating these talented artists as they generously share their personal grief stories as we work towards broadening awareness of the profound impact that grief has on the lives of youth and their families. The Colors of Grief exhibit will be on display throughout February on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30-6:30pm). To encourage everyone to see this touching exhibit\, both the opening reception and gallery hours are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Winter Birds in Massachusetts
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a passion for birds? Interested in learning more about them? Join us at Wistariahurst on February 26th for the event “Winter Birds in Massachusetts!” Staff from Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary will provide two seasonal programs on birds\, both to be held at Wistariahurst in Holyoke. Join us inside the museum as Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary gives an indoor presentation on the wintering birds of our area and how to identify them. Learn about the different types of bird feeders\, what to put in them\, and when to put out food. We will also discuss community science projects and what you can do to help birds thrive. After the indoor presentation\, guests can enjoy a quick walk outside to practice identifying the birds they learned about during the session. This program is a great way for people to learn how to identify backyard birds and indulge in a new winter activity! \nThe first program\, to be held in February\, will introduce participants to birds\, with a focus on both those found in winter and those found in Holyoke. The second program\, held in September will introduce participants to how to bird by ear or identify bird sounds. Both programs will start indoors\, with a PowerPoint\, and weather dependent\, go outdoors for the last hour to practice what was learned. This program is funded in part by a grant from the Holyoke Cultural Council\, a local agency that is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency. Winter Birds in Massachusetts is free and open to the public\, so don’t let this opportunity fly over your head! Join us on February 26th\, 2025 from 2pm-4pm!

SUMMARY:Open Gallery Hours: "Colors of Grief\," A Rick's Place Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Rick’s Place Honors Children’s Grief Awareness Month with “Colors of Grief”\, an art exhibit showcasing poignant artwork created by both youth and adult participants from Rick’s Place. \nRick’s Place\, a beacon of support for children\, teens\, and families navigating grief\, is proud to present a special gallery exhibit at the historic Wistariahurst Museum in Holyoke. Titled “Colors of Grief\,” artists were encouraged to reflect on their unique grief journeys and how these experiences have left an indelible mark. Each piece presented encapsulates an intimate\, heartfelt narrative of personal journeys through grief. \nRick’s Place aims to have this event serve a dual purpose: raising greater awareness about the profound impact of death\, grief\, and loss on youth and families\, and providing a platform for individuals to tell their stories through creative expression. With over 5\,000 children in Hampden County experiencing the loss of a parent or sibling\, Rick’s Place\, a non-profit organization\, extends its helping hand to youth between the ages of 5 and 18\, along with their caregivers\, who have confronted death. Peer support programs\, both on-site and in local schools\, help youth feel supported\, understood\, and less alone in their grief. \nWe cordially invite you to join us in celebrating these talented artists as they generously share their personal grief stories as we work towards broadening awareness of the profound impact that grief has on the lives of youth and their families. The Colors of Grief exhibit will be on display throughout February on Mondays (10am-2pm) and Tuesdays (4:30-6:30pm). To encourage everyone to see this touching exhibit\, both the opening reception and gallery hours are free and open to the public.

These leaders have dedicated themselves to making positive change in our community through activism\, preserving history\, fighting for accessible education\, connecting community members with resources and engaging in volunteer work. \nThe community leaders featured in this project include: Gladys Lebrón-Martínez\, María Salgado-Cartagena\, Marisela Alvarado\, Marisol Fontánez Cuadrado\, and Yamaris Rivera. \nartist statement:\nMy people have been oppressed\, silenced\, restricted\, forgotten\, and murdered\, ultimately leading to the erasure of our stories. I grew up without any knowledge of my Puerto Rican history or an understanding of what our people sacrificed to preserve the little pieces of us that remained. I utilize my art as a way to prevent those stories and the experiences of other unheard voices from being erased. I feel that true change can only happen when you understand your past and give voice to those experiences. \nabout the artist:\nMichelle Falcón Fontánez is an award winning storyteller working in photography\, film\, and public art. Michelle has witnessed and personally experienced injustices that have shaped her views of the world\, motivating her pursuit of making change through art. Her artistry has primarily focused on social justice issues\, advocating for women’s rights\, dismantling colonialism\, and calling attention to Puerto Rican issues\, ultimately creating work to illuminate voices that have not been heard.

SUMMARY:MEET THE AUTHOR of Colonization and the Wampanoag Story\, LINDA COOMBS
DESCRIPTION:Linda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag)\, Author of Colonization and the Wampanoag Story will speak with the public at Wistariahurst Museum on Saturday\, November 9 at 2 p.m. Her book presents the true story of America from the Indigenous perspective. When you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepping off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. Told from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. She will be speaking at Wistariahurst Museum as a culminating event to the four-week October Book Discussion Group that read and discussed in order to educate themselves and gain an understanding of the Indigenous perspective. \nCoombs\, who began her museum career at the Boston Children’s Museum in the Native American Program\, as well as working for the Wampanoag Indigenous Program (WIP) of Plimoth Plantation for 30 years\, and who presently does independent museum consulting and cultural presentations\, will be discussing with us\, her research techniques\, her writing style\, and her motivation. She will field questions from the audience about her book and her lived experience as a historian of Wampanoag background. \nSeveral copies of her book Colonization and the Wampanoag Story will be available on a first-come\, first-served basis\, thanks to a generous donation of books from The Massachusetts Center for the Book’s Great Reads About Great Places program. The Great Reads titles celebrate our state’s unique culture and literary heritage\, inspiring local conversations and spurring engagement.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs | Week 4
DESCRIPTION:Join history and reading enthusiasts at Wistariahurst Museum on Tuesday evenings in October to read and discuss a different perspective of the beginning of the American story in Linda Coombs Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. As a way to expand our historical knowledge of Indigenous culture\, we will investigate a more inclusive narrative as we gather to share thoughts and consider a differing viewpoint. \nOur discussion group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in October with a Culminating event on Saturday afternoon\, November 9 with guest speaker Linda Coombs the author. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepped off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the story from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later worked there in the Native American Program. She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion Group: Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs | Week 3
DESCRIPTION:Join history and reading enthusiasts at Wistariahurst Museum on Tuesday evenings in October to read and discuss a different perspective of the beginning of the American story in Linda Coombs Colonization and the Wampanoag Story. As a way to expand our historical knowledge of Indigenous culture\, we will investigate a more inclusive narrative as we gather to share thoughts and consider a differing viewpoint. \nOur discussion group will meet on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in October with a Culminating event on Saturday afternoon\, November 9 with guest speaker Linda Coombs the author. \nWhen you think about the beginning of the American story\, what comes to mind? Three ships in 1492\, or perhaps buckled hats and shoes stepped off of the Mayflower\, ready to start a new country. But the truth is\, Christopher Columbus\, the Pilgrims\, and the Colonists didn’t arrive at a vast\, empty land ready to be developed. They arrived to find people and communities living in harmony with the land they had inhabited for thousands of years\, and they quickly disrupted everything they saw. From its “discovery” by Europeans to the first Thanksgiving\, the story of America’s earliest days has been carefully misrepresented. Colonization and the Wampanoag Story by Linda Coombs tells the story from the perspective of the New England Indigenous Nations that these outsiders found when they arrived\, this is the true story of how America as we know it today began. \nLinda Coombs (Aquinnah Wampanoag) is an author and historian from the Wampanoag Tribe of Aquinnah\, and lives in the Wampanoag community of Mashpee on Cape Cod\, MA. Coombs began her museum career in an internship at the Boston Children’s Museum\, and later worked there in the Native American Program. She and her colleague Paulla Dove Jennings (Narragansett) wrote children’s books for a museum series highlighting aspects of southern New England tribal cultures.

SUMMARY:Reflections of the Flood with Elizabeth Sharpe: Part of the  Legacy Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Wistariahurst Museum is honoring the 150th Anniversary of this historic building’s relocation to City of Holyoke which occurred in 1874. This fall\, we invite guests to participate in our Legacy Seminar Series to learn more about events\, exhibits and structures which have impacted the building\, the community and the arts. \nOn September 17th\, Elizabeth Sharpe\, the author of “In the Shadow of the Dam: The Aftermath of the Mill River Flood of 1874\,” will discuss the the flood of 1874 and the events that led up to that tragic event. The incident claimed 139 lives and wiped out four mill villages in the area and marked the first significant dam failure in the United States. The aftermath saw William Skinner relocating his silk factory to Holyoke\, while the affected villages began the process of rebuilding. Sharpe will delve into the disaster’s impact\, the challenges faced in the aftermath\, the investigation to determine accountability\, and the pursuit of compensation. \nWhether you are a long-time resident or a newcomer eager to learn more about the place you now call home\, these seminars provide a perfect opportunity to connect with the past and understand how it influences our present and future. Most importantly\, our Legacy Seminar Series is free and open to the public during event hours so that all can explore\, discover\, and engage with these unique topics.

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.
