SUMMARY:Noise & Blessings: Live Music At The Meetinghouse
DESCRIPTION:March 6 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm \nComing up at The Meetinghouse – Karen Dazzler\, Death Rattled\, and XUR: \nMax Caulkins is an experimental musician and game developer. With a mix of melodic playing and spacious effects (now with beats)\, Max aims to create landscapes that listeners can meditate to and get lost in\, drawing them into a world of color and texture. She can be found performing around New York\, either on sax or keys or some combination of the two\, usually bringing her strange electronic noise bending machine (aka laptop). \nDeath Rattled uses all forms of media to create distorted\, glitched out collages of sight\, sound\, taste\, touch\, and feel. They love exploring the assembling\, juxtaposition\, and disfiguration of symbols and their meanings. When everything is on the table\, nothing is too strange to move the heart. \nThe project is led by Manuel J. Perez III (MJPIII)\, an interdisciplinary artist and experimental performer based out of the northeastern USA. \n& XUR\, the local band. \nFriday\, 3/6/26\nDoors open at 6\, music from 7-10. \nTickets $10 online\, $12 at the door.

SUMMARY: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\, December 14\, from 4:00-6:00 pm\, so mark your calendars and plan to join us!

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!

SUMMARY:Nancy Moore: Women and Other Animals | Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:On display in The Meetinghouse Gallery \nWomen and Other Animals\nPaintings by Nancy Moore\nSeptember 7 – October 12\, 2025\n\nOpening Reception\nAn opening reception will be held September 7\, 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\nThere are many ways to unlock parts of ourselves. For Nancy Moore\, the key arrived while working as a book editor (her profession for 38 years)\, in the form of a deluxe 96-pack of Crayola crayons she treated herself to in a moment of crazy. She opened the lid\, and the scent transported her to the cool green linoleum floor of her childhood playroom\, where she spent hours blissfully imagining and drawing. Those crayons\, along with watercolor and pencil\, led Moore to create her first painting as an adult: a chameleon titled “Self-Portrait\,” the idea being that women are continually shedding and growing new emotional and intellectual skin as they adapt to the myriad roles they assume. That painting\, the first one to sell in her first exhibition\, was all the incentive Moore needed to keep painting as she juggled job and family. \nAs time passed\, Moore’s chameleons began sporting women’s heads and hands\, eventually becoming fully realized women. This direction led to her ongoing series of “Unconventional Women.” According to Moore: “I feel like I’ve tapped into a rich vein of material that I’ll be mining for a long time to come. These women keep appearing in my head\, whispering to my heart\, and dancing onto the paper—I’m trying my best to keep up with them. At this point\, I feel like I’m creating the community of women I want to be surrounded with.” The artist also continues to paint animals and botanica\, and returning to that well of inspiration is an act of renewal for her. \nMoore paints predominantly on large slices of beautiful archival paper\, choosing to work with watercolor\, graphite\, gouache\, metallic paint\, colored pencil\, wax crayon\, and wood burner. Her themes include transformation\, ethnography\, design\, shape-shifting\, gender identity\, evolution\, fashion\, and creation myth. \nThe artist is self-taught and proud of that\, reveling in the distortion of body proportions and perspective in her work. The goal here is to create narratives from emotion and instinct\, hoping to translate what bubbles up in her mind\, through her hand\, and onto the paper. \nIn 2005\, Moore was invited to exhibit her paintings of the animal world at the opening of the Environmental Sciences Center at Yale University’s Peabody Museum. What was supposed to be a 3-week-long exhibition ended up running for one year. Her scope has continued to expand\, with work widely exhibited in galleries\, museums\, and other public institutions. Her paintings also hang in many private homes\, from Vermont to California. \n  \nTo see more of Nancy Moore’s work: \n\nVisit her website: www.nancymooreart.com\nFollow her on Instagram: #nancymooreart\nContact her: nancymooreart@gmail.com\n\nAll of Moore’s work is also available as signed\, limited-edition giclée prints \n
