SUMMARY:Collage: Method and Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Collage: Method and Metaphor\nDates: July 26-29\nTime: 1-4 PM\nLocation: Five Points Arts Center Drawing Lab\nInstructor: Stephen Maine\nAges: 18+\nCost: $275 \nA truly democratic art form\, collage requires few technical skills\, yet its conceptual reach is boundless. Collage employs spatial disruption as an organizing principle\, its interplay of fragmentation and continuity accommodating and even celebrating contingencies of concept\, process\, and form. Suited to artists as well as graphic designers\, this workshop considers collage as both a pictorial strategy and a vehicle for communication. Experimentation is encouraged in physical and digital modes\, and special emphasis is given to the compositional behavior of color\, the fluidity of iconographic meaning\, and visual humor. The workshop will culminate in the production of a limited-edition digital portfolio containing one work by each participant. \nEventbrite Sign Up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/161004852849

SUMMARY:Rhapsody in June
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: https://waterburysymphony.secure.force.com/ticket/PatronTicket__PublicTicketApp#/ \nWaterbury Symphony Orchestra presents Rhapsody in June\, Saturday\, June 12\, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. at the Waterbury Arts Magnet School Courtyard\, and Sunday\, June 13\, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. on the lawn at Five Points Center for the Visual Arts in Torrington. \nThe concert will feature some of Ellington’s most loved works including :  It Don’t Mean a Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing) and Jubilee Stomp and\, of course\, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue will be a centerpiece of the concert. This program underscores the WSO’s long history in the Waterbury community. On March 26\, 1963\, Duke Ellington was the piano soloist with the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra in a performance of New World A-Comin’\, a landmark jazz score composed by Ellington. “I’m very excited about our salute to the music of Ellington and Gershwin.  This concert is at the heart of the WSO’s history and mission\, to use music as a bridge to connect audiences from different generations and diverse communities. We believe it is an opportunity to foster shared musical experiences and build community. It is the first in what we hope will be an ongoing series celebrating jazz\, Latin music\, and the rich legacy of the Great American Songbook\,” says WSO Music Director & Conductor Leif Bjaland. \nThe concert will showcase more than twenty WSO musicians and will feature three guest artists. Internationally renowned pianist Andrew Armstrong will be the featured soloist for Rhapsody in Blue. Both vocalist\, Maria Wirries and pianist\, Alex Rybeck have performed with the Symphony’s Great American Songbook Project\, an annual weekend-long workshop\, for talented young singers to be coached in songs from the 1920s\, 30s\, 40s\, and 50’s\, collectively known as “The Great American Songbook.” \nThe weekend expands the Waterbury Symphony’s community partnerships\, as well. “Collaborating with Waterbury Arts Magnet School to perform in their spectacular courtyard and with Five Points Center for the Visual Arts to perform in their brand-new Torrington center is an exciting way to connect with different areas in our community\,” explains Bjaland. Judith McElhone\, Executive Director & Founder of Five Points Arts\, agrees\, “All of us at Five Points Arts are delighted to partner with the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra on the presentation of Rhapsody in June. We believe the intersection of visual art and music is important for healing and hope in today’s world\, and we celebrate this new partnership with WSO as the perfect vehicle for bringing our collective audiences together in new and exciting ways.” Nicholas Albini\, Waterbury Arts Magnet School Principal sums up the region-wide enthusiasm for this event\, “It is with the utmost joy and satisfaction that Waterbury Public Schools\, Waterbury Arts Magnet School\, and the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra have a community partnership that benefits so many young adults and enjoyed by music enthusiasts throughout the region. This relationship is cemented and will remain in place for as long as music is taught\, learned\, and appreciated. Feel the vibe!” \nThis event is Waterbury Symphony’s gift to the community. Admission is FREE but tickets are REQUIRED. A suggested donation of $25 per person will be gratefully accepted. Tickets are available at waterburysymphony.org or 203-574-4283. In the event of inclement weather on either date\, the concert will move to indoor facilities at each site. \nThe WSO has developed concert guidelines in accordance with the CT Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) so that everyone can relax and enjoy the music.

SUMMARY:It's All About Process
DESCRIPTION:West Gallery \nJohn Gintoff | Eleanor Sabin | Max Seinfeld | Kevin Van Aelst \n\n\n\n\nThe group exhibition\, It’s All About Process\, features work by artists John Gintoff\, Eleanor Sabin\, Max Seinfeld & Kevin Van Aelst. Although their concepts and visions are different\, each of the artists in this exhibition present a unique approach to process and alternative use of media and compositional elements. Photography is often a straightforward and traditional way to capture how we experience moments; however\, John Gintoff challenges how the viewer perceives traditional photography by using photographic prints to create three-dimensional sculptural forms. Kevin Van Aelst also plays with a reimagining of traditional photography. His layered digital process deals with the malleability of our notions of truth and memory. Van Aelst states\, “The work aims to examine the relationship between photography\, reality and memory and is a contemplation of memory itself”. Eleanor Sabin’s work explores the conflicts between the man-made and natural world. Her process of creating layered detailed pen and ink drawings of the natural world are then disrupted by saturated airbrushed color\, bold geometric patterns and lines creating new tensions of space. Max Seinfeld’s sculptures also play with tensions through contrasting materials\, color and form. His small sculptures’ interplay of solid vs. seemingly liquid forms allows for a sensation of a lingering touch or inching grip. The interaction of natural and artificial colors in Seinfeld work are drawn from observations in contemporary media\, such as the allure of a red Cadillac versus the natural colors of the raw materials. \n  \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Two Stories | Erin Koch Smith
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery \nErin Koch Smith’s exhibition\, Two Stories\, draws from two bodies of work that utilize imaginative narratives and stories to build a language for experience that cannot be expressed in a different way. One narrative features the imaginary heroics of a lamp trapped inside a psychological landscape built out of memories\, which is based on Philip Guston’s 1974 painting\, “Lamp”. The wildly whimsical paintings create new logics and narratives using the physicality of the paint as part of the storytelling process. Smith states she is\, “interested in the ways words can fail\, and how painting and drawing can fill the gap.” In her other works on exhibit\, Smith searches for form within her compositions using memories and representations of her childhood emphasizing personal wants and desires. The paintings can also be seen to reflect fears of growing older\, the cloudiness of middle life and the pressures of creating a home.

SUMMARY:It's Today | Will Holub
DESCRIPTION:TDP Gallery \n\n\n\n\nWill Holub’s exhibition\, It’s Today\, explores issues of chance and recognition with textural abstract paintings that have fragmented photographic imagery randomly arrayed across their surfaces. Made using a variety of approaches\, and with materials such as card stock\, C- prints and transfer images\, they address not only the consequences of image fracturing\, but also provide encouraging evidence of the strengthening aspects of reconstruction. \nAfter three decades of experimentation with the tactile properties of paper as a low-relief material on the surfaces of his paintings\, Holub continues to investigate how and why haptic art first establishes a “felt\,” rather than a simply “seen\,” connection with viewers. \nWill Holub was the winner of the 2020 Five Points Small Works exhibition juried by Power Boothe. \n\n\n\n\n  \n
