SUMMARY:The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings
DESCRIPTION:1776 was more than a turning point; it marked the birth of a new world order. A bold line was drawn as ordinary people made extraordinary decisions\, declaring independence from the most powerful empire on earth. Driven by youthful fire\, they believed in the promise of liberty more than they feared the cost of pursuing it.\nHistoric Beverly proudly presents The American Revolution: A story of the War in 28 Paintings\, a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of artworks commissioned to illustrate Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Sr.’s landmark book.\nThese paintings are featured in Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary The American Revolution. The exhibit will be on display at the Cabot House from September 6\, 2025 to July 4\, 2026. Tickets are free and open to the public

SUMMARY:Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings by Linda Kauss
DESCRIPTION:Join multidisciplinary artist Linda Kauss for an evening celebrating “Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings”\, a deeply personal work rooted in creative exploration and intuition. \n“Just Looking” began in 2005 as an exercise in creative play. With no set outcome in mind\, Kauss explored the movement of graphite and the subtle power of erasure\, allowing organic forms to emerge. The result is a series of unexpected\, evocative images—moments of discovery that have shaped her ongoing artistic practice. \nMeet the artist\, hear selected readings\, and view the artwork behind the book. Copies of “Just Looking” will be available for purchase and signing.
