You are invited to the Gallery on the Green’s annual “Member/Guest Exhibition” showcasing artists who are members of the Canton Artists Guild and their invited guests. Members invite artists from their creative networks to display their artistic talents across a variety of media including painting, drawings, prints, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media and fiber art. The result fills the main gallery with a superb display of local artistic talent.  

Upstairs are two solo exhibitions. In a show entitled, “Everyday People,” Kathy Schwartz celebrates the human form and the expression of the human spirit through the lines and shapes of the physical body.  The twenty pieces on display include a variety of materials including pastels, acrylic pours, fabric, dried plants and more. “My techniques are varied. Experimenting with different materials allows me to better express both the artistry of my work and the subjects themselves”.

In “Cracked and Crazed” Donna Namnoum, the second solo artist, is exhibiting over thirty ceramic works that incorporate the covered jar and other wheel thrown forms.  Throughout her career Namnoum has used the potter’s wheel as her main tool of expression helping her to create an evolving series of sculptural forms. Her current display features abstracted plant-like growths. “Each of the parts is made on the potter’s wheel and then is altered and assembled, creating forms that look alive – growing, twisting and even wilting.”

Namnoum received her M.A. in Art Education and Ceramics from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford. She has exhibited throughout New England and the United States, often earning awards for her entries. Namnoum’s work has frequently appeared in a variety of publications including the Hartford Courant, Art Scope and Sculpture magazine and Ceramics Monthly magazine.

Help Cuatro Puntos welcome our newest international guest artists: Subhasish Bhawal and Madhurjya Barthakur. Esteemed in India for their work in North Indian Classical Music, this will be their first ever concert in the USA.


Sounds of Color will include our two guest artists as well as Ameen Mokdad, Kevin Bishop, and other members of Cuatro Puntos Ensemble. Together they will blend together two ancient traditions: the magical sounds of Hindustani classical music and the mystical strains of maqaam music from around the Middle East. You'll experience tabla, vocals, and strings playing raga that transports you to distant lands.


Cuatro Puntos amplifies silenced, persecuted and underrepresented musicians and their unique styles of music. You may experience our 13 years of commitment to intercultural dialogue and diversity by delving into our recordings and videos at CuatroPuntos.org


This event is free, however any donations will help us to continue amplifying silenced musicians. You may donate when reserving your ticket on Eventbrite, or at the door.


If you are unable to attend this event, you may attend the concert on May 22 in Glastonbury. Sign up at CuatroPuntos.org

As you wish…”

Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles… Experience one of the most beloved films of all time as never before… with the power of a full symphony orchestra performing the entire musical score live-to-picture!

Directed by Rob Reiner, The Princess Bride features an all-star cast including Robin Wright, Cary Elwes, Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, Christopher Guest, Fred Savage and André the Giant.

The great Peter Falk narrates this romantic tale of the beautiful maiden, Buttercup, and her one true love, a young farm hand named Westley. After he’s captured by a ruthless pirate and presumed dead, Buttercup’s unhappy marriage to the horrible Prince Humperdinck seems inevitable. But before the wedding can take place, she’s kidnapped by three outlaws and it’s up to a mysterious Man in Black to come to her rescue…

Now for the first time, composer Mark Knopfler’s unforgettable score has been specially arranged for symphony orchestra. Missing this cinematic concert experience would be inconceivable!

So, in the words of Miracle Max… “Have fun stormin’ the castle!”

The Lewis Walpole Library's latest exhibition has been curated by Alison FitzGerald, Associate Professor in the Department of History, Maynooth University, Ireland. Open Wednesdays 2-4:30 pm and other times by appointment. On view March 5 through August 22, 2025.

This exhibition explores the range of spectacular shows that were offered to the fee-paying public in Georgian London, from exhibitions of paintings, to scientific demonstrations, to the display of wondrous animals. The exhibition primarily focuses on images drawn from the extensive collections at the Lewis Walpole Library that announce, depict and satirize what people paid to gaze at. It will consider how derogatory ideas about spectacle were expressed in caricatures and political discourse.

Upstairs are two solo exhibitions. In a show entitled, “Everyday People,” Kathy Schwartz celebrates the human form and the expression of the human spirit through the lines and shapes of the physical body.  The twenty pieces on display include a variety of materials including pastels, acrylic pours, fabric, dried plants and more. “My techniques are varied. Experimenting with different materials allows me to better express both the artistry of my work and the subjects themselves”.

In “Cracked and Crazed” Donna Namnoum, the second solo artist, is exhibiting over thirty ceramic works that incorporate the covered jar and other wheel thrown forms.  Throughout her career Namnoum has used the potter’s wheel as her main tool of expression helping her to create an evolving series of sculptural forms. Her current display features abstracted plant-like growths. “Each of the parts is made on the potter’s wheel and then is altered and assembled, creating forms that look alive – growing, twisting and even wilting.”

Namnoum received her M.A. in Art Education and Ceramics from the Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford. She has exhibited throughout New England and the United States, often earning awards for her entries. Namnoum’s work has frequently appeared in a variety of publications including the Hartford Courant, Art Scope and Sculpture magazine and Ceramics Monthly magazine.

PROOF

Written By: David Auburn

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness—or genius—will she inherit?
