  • Through Sunday, July 7 – New Terrain: 21st Century Landscape Photography

    The Worcester Art Museum presents New Terrain: 21st-Century Landscape Photography, an exhibition focused on how 21st-century artists use different photographic processes to explore the idea of landscape. Comprising approximately 30 artworks created over the past 20 years, the exhibition will highlight a wide range of techniques—including 3-D printing, weaving, embroidery, collage, and the use of nontraditional materials like rusted cans and lake water—that reinterpret the traditional practice of photography. Through these artworks, New Terrain serves as an entry point into deeper narratives about technology, identity, political activism, and history through the concept of the landscape. This exhibition is organized by Nancy Kathryn Burns, the Museum’s Stoddard Curator of Prints, Drawings and Photographs.

  • Saturday, October 26, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – Opening Reception for Dispersal: Photographs by Anna Laurent

    Seed pods are incredible vessels, protecting seeds as they develop and assisting with their dispersal. Photographer Anna Laurent explores the evolution of different forms to fulfill these common functions. Individually, each photograph is a fine art portrait of a unique botanic specimen; as a series, the collection becomes a visual and scientific inquiry into the remarkable diversity of botanic design. The project began in urban Southern California and has extended to the rain forests of Hawaii, the deserts of northern Iraq, and public gardens throughout the United States, including the Arnold Arboretum. This Arnold Arboretum exhibit runs through January 26, 2014, but the artist will speak of her work at the opening reception on Saturday, October 26, from 1 – 3 at the Hunnewell Building lecture hall at 125 Arborway. For show hours visit www.arboretum.harvard.edu.

  • Wednesday, November 11 – Sunday, November 15 – ARS Fall National Conference & Rose Show

    Come be a part of history in the making! Join  the American Rose Society’s 2009 Fall National Conference and Rose Show, hosted by the Desert Rose Society, which will be held November 11-15, 2009, in Palm Springs, CA. This is the first time that an ARS National will be held in the California desert and the first time in more than 60 years that a Fall National has been held in the Pacific-Southwest District.

    We can’t think of a more attractive venue for an ARS national conference and rose show than Palm Springs, California, “America’s Premier Desert Resort” and “Date Capital of the U.S.” (95% of all American dates are grown in the Palm Springs area). The mid-November weather with warm, sunny days and cool evenings makes it even more ideal.   Remember, Boston people, winter is coming – time to stock up on sunshine for the gray days ahead.

    Take a trip to the top of Mt. San Jacinto on the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, the world’s largest rotating tram, taking riders up 8,516 feet from the desert floor to the Mountain Station.

    Enjoy a few of the more than 120 golf courses, including some of the finest in the world, or play tennis to your heart’s delight. Visit the Living Desert, which features the unique flora and fauna of the world’s deserts.

    Join other participants in a guided bus tour past the homes of celebrities past and present. Tour the Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens and its magnificent new Chinese Garden. The list goes on!

    You’ll have the opportunity to tour private rose gardens at members’ homes, attend educational and inspiring presentations by a world-class faculty from the United States and Europe, exhibit in or simply enjoy a national rose show featuring some of the finest roses anywhere. Participate in a post-conference Ikebana workshop. Enter or just wander through the International Rose Photography Show. This is a great time and place to renew old acquaintances and make new friends.

    The organizers are doing everything they can to provide the rose experience of a lifetime, including locking in a terrific rate at the conference hotel, the Doral Desert Princess Resort. But there’s one thing needed to make it perfect – you! This is one ARS national conference and rose show you definitely won’t want to miss!  For more information, log on to www.ars.org, or email Cliff Orent, Co-Chairman, at cliffofthedesert@yahoo.com.
