SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception:  War\, Maps\, Mystery: Dutch Mapmaker Bernard Romans and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and special guests to join us for the opening reception for War\, Maps\, Mystery: Dutch Mapmaker Bernard Romans and the American Revolution. \nThis exhibit will share the little-known story of Revolutionary War Patriot and mapmaker Bernard Romans. Romans came to the American colonies in 1757 during the French and Indian War\, surveying for the British along the Atlantic seaboard.  Romans became a supporter of American independence\, joined the Continental Army\, and eventually settled in Wethersfield\, CT. Both the British and Americans used Romans’ maps during the American Revolution.  In 1780\, he was captured by the British and died in 1784\, mysteriously\, while a prisoner. \nIncredibly rare maps from the CMCH collection\, published by Romans and his contemporaries\, as well as earlier Connecticut maps from the 17th and 18th centuries\, will be displayed. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by October 18. Call (860) 236-5621 x238 or email rsvp@chs.org.  Remarks begin at 5:45pm. Doors open at 5:00pm; come early to view the exhibit! \nImage:  Detail of Boston in 1775 from Bernard Romans’ Map of the Seat of Civil War in America.

SUMMARY:Member's Reception and Sneak Peek: Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and special guests to join us for a opening reception and gallery talk for Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow. \nBlack Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow is a traveling exhibit from the New-York Historical Society. The exhibit explores the struggle for full citizenship and racial equality that unfolded in the 50 years after the Civil War. When slavery ended in 1865\, a period of Reconstruction began. By 1868\, all persons born in the United States were citizens and equal under the law. But efforts to create an interracial democracy were contested from the start. A harsh backlash ensued\, ushering in a half century of the “separate but equal” age of Jim Crow. \nThe exhibition highlights the central role played by African Americans in advocating for their rights. It also examines the depth and breadth of opposition to black advancement. Art\, artifacts\, photographs\, and media will help visitors explore these transformative decades in American history\, and understand their continuing relevance today. \nThis exhibition has been organized by the New-York Historical Society. Lead support for Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow provided by National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Major support provided by the Ford Foundation\, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council\, Crystal McCrary and Raymond J. McGuire\, and Agnes Gund. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by March 21.

SUMMARY:Short Attention Span Literary Club
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the launch of our new reading club! \nIf you have been wanting to join a book club\, but worried about the time commitment\, this group is for you.  We’ll meet every couple of months and discuss short stories and articles that have a connection to our exhibits. \nFor our inaugural meeting\, we will be discussing John Cheever’s classic The Swimmer\, a short story (with a twist!) about suburbia and social status in the 1960s\, over tea\, coffee and cookies. Afterward\, you can take a walk through our exhibition Pools\, Patios & the Invention of the American Backyard\, and see how the story connects to the larger context of 1950s and 60s outdoor culture. \nThe Swimmer can be found in many Cheever short story collections\, or you can access a free copy here. \nCost: free for CMCH members\, $8 for non-members \nThis is a drop-in program\, but we welcome RSVPs to help us better serve our visitors.

SUMMARY:Short Attention Span Literary Club
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce the launch of our new reading club! \nIf you have been wanting to join a book club\, but worried about the time commitment\, this group is for you.  We’ll meet every couple of months and discuss short stories and articles that have a connection to our exhibits. \nFor our inaugural meeting\, we will be discussing John Cheever’s classic The Swimmer\, a short story (with a twist!) about suburbia and social status in the 1960s\, over tea\, coffee and cookies. Afterward\, you can take a walk through our exhibition Pools\, Patios & the Invention of the American Backyard\, and see how the story connects to the larger context of 1950s and 60s outdoor culture. \nThe Swimmer can be found in many Cheever short story collections\, or you can access a free copy here. \nCost: free for CMCH members\, $8 for non-members \nThis is a drop-in program\, but we welcome RSVPs to help us better serve our visitors. Please email rsvp@chs.org or call 860-236-5621 ext. 238. Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community
DESCRIPTION:[slideshow_deploy id=’14857′]\n  \nWe invite you to join us for the Opening Reception for Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community. \nThe Mas: Carnival Costumes from Hartford’s West Indian Community exhibit showcases Trinidad-style carnival costumes (Mas) made by Hartford teens during the summer 2018 Mas Camp\, the eighth year of a collaboration of the Connecticut Cultural Heritage Arts Program (CCHAP) and the Connecticut International Cultural Carnival Association (CICCA) under the direction of Linford “Junior” Miller. The colorful and elaborate costumes on display are similar to those worn in West Indian celebrations around the world\, and will be presented by the teens at Hartford’s Taste of the Caribbean Festival and the West Indian Parade this summer. \nThe exhibit features costumes from teen participants\, who have spent six weeks learning how to design and make the costumes under the guidance of master costume maker Keimani “Q” Delpeche. Dance teacher Clerona Cain trained the students in “displaying” their costumes in the West Indian Independence Parade and Festival. Each teen designed and built a complete costume\, including headpiece\, arm and foot bands\, girdles\, collars\, backpacks\, and all frames and attachments needed for wearing the elaborate structures. \nThe Mas Camp program trains Hartford teens in artistic activities important to their cultural heritage. The program also encourages job readiness skills such as collaboration\, financial literacy\, creativity\, and attention to detail. \nThe exhibit opening will also mark the graduation of the 25 teens involved in Mas Camp\, and they will perform their dance routine at the event. \nThe Mas Camp program is supported by the Greater Hartford Arts Council and the City of Hartford; the National Endowment for the Arts; the CT Office of the Arts/DECD; the West Indian Foundation\, the West Indian Independence Celebration\, the UConn Caribbean Interdisciplinary Research and Outreach Institute\, and UConn’s El Instituto/the Institute for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. \nThis event is free and open to the public. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by August 17. Call (860) 236-5621 or email rsvp@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: That's Weird
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members and special guests to join us for the Opening Reception for That’s Weird. \n“That’s weird” is a phrase staff hears all the time in galleries and on tours. Visitors often encounter collection items that are quirky\, surprising\, or rare. But\, take a second look and weird objects can have surprising and unique histories. The CMCH is excited to show off some of our funny little oddballs of history. Displaying many of these objects for the first time\, the CMCH delves into how these objects\, which at first glance seem strange\, can be gateways into a deeper understanding and appreciation of our state’s history. Visitors will be encouraged to go beyond making snap judgments about objects to having deeper understanding\, perhaps even empathy\, for the people and stories connected to our state’s material culture. \nPlease let us know if you are able to join us by November 3. Call (860) 236-5621 x238 or email rsvp@chs.org. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibit Opening Reception: Sisu and Creativity: Finnish Cultural Heritage in Connecticut

Opening on March 21 and on view until May 6\, the exhibit will explore central characteristics of Finns in Connecticut – their agricultural cooperatives; the built environment including farms\, barns\, and community halls; the saunas constructed by every family as a social gathering place; the festivals celebrating important Finnish holidays; and the many artistic and musical traditions still practiced throughout the community. 2017 marks the centenary of Finland’s independence from Russia\, as well as the 30th anniversary of the founding of FAHS. The CT Cultural Heritage Arts Program at CMCH has collaborated with FAHS on several traditional arts apprenticeships teaching weaving\, sauna building\, woodcarving\, and birch bark weaving which will be highlighted in the exhibit.
