SUMMARY:Polly Castor: Meaningful Color
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nMeaningful Color\nMultimedia Paintings by Polly Castor\n  \nOctober 19 – November 30\, 2025\nAn opening reception will be held Sunday\, October 19\, 2025 from 2-4 pm. \nThe Gallery is open Tuesdays – Sundays 8:00 am – 4:00 pm for viewing. (Closed Mondays). \n  \n  \nArtist’s Biography\n  \nPolly Castor is a lifelong artist. She went to the University of Michigan\, and has lived in Bethel\, Connecticut for the last 33 years. Her passion is working within the full range of abstraction\, from impressionism to non-objective art\, with particular emphasis on abstract conceptualism\, depicting specific ideas\, feelings\, and actions. She enjoys working in many mediums– oil\, pastel\, acrylic\, mono-print\, collage\, watercolor\, gouache\, photography\, and ceramics– and her creative approach of cross-pollinating these mediums with one another brings original results. \nIn addition to painting\, Polly gives talks and workshops on abstract art. She sporadically takes trips to paint in plein air\, as well as travel to artist–in–residencies. She has been juried into the Pastel Society of America\, has had many large one woman shows\, and has been juried into many national\, international\, and museum shows. Her work has collectors world-wide. \nShe is also spiritual professional\, a blogger\, who has blogged every day for seventeen years on www.PollyCastor.com\, and has recently started a five minute weekly podcast called A Cup of Cold Water. \nHer paintings are available for purchase on PollyCastorArt.com. \nwww.PollyCastor.com\n

SUMMARY:Special Event: "Stone Soup" Open Mic Night at The Market
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative open mic! \nThe story of stone soup is about the beauty of collaboration… everyone’s individual ingredients could taste much better when combined and cooked together in one big soup. Open mics are amazing for every artist getting their sole moment of glory\, but they could become a special space of spontaneous\, shared art if we mesh our art into others. \nBasically\, instead of everyone quietly sitting and snapping and waiting their turns\, you get up and integrate your own words\, sounds\, movements\, art\, etc if you feel compelled and inspired to by the person currently performing. It is a chance within an open environment to improvise and jam with many people\, to freely create with strangers. \nThis special Stone Soup Open Mic The Market is Sunday\, November 9\, from 4:00-6:00 pm\, so mark your calendars and plan to join us!
