SUMMARY:Coffee and Conversation at the Carlson Education Center
DESCRIPTION:Carlson Education Center\, CAM Green\n13 Poplar Street\, Gloucester\, MA\nFree Program\, Registration Required \nFor Women’s History Month\, take an up-close look at sculpture by Katharine Lane Weems. \nKatharine Lane Weems: Odds Were Against Me. Taking off from her memoir of this title\, we will explore this determined female sculptor\, the period in which she lived and her choices about making art. Her animal sculptures range in size from gigantic to hand-held. After the slide presentation we will examine one of her pieces in the CAM collection: Pelican\, Bronze\, c. 1940s. \nYou are invited to join us every Thursday for a unique experience. Led by a CAM docent\, these deep dives into a single artwork or object from the Collection will begin with conversation\, a short presentation and complimentary coffee at the Carlson Education Center\, followed by a special trip to the James Center to view the object being discussed. No special knowledge needed! Just a curiosity to learn more in a small group setting and enjoy a unique experience. \nPostcards of select sculptures available in the Store at CAM Green. \nImage Credit: Katharine Lane Weems (1899-1989).

SUMMARY:REBELS at SEA: PRIVATEERING in the AMERICAN REVOLUTION
DESCRIPTION:The best-selling author of Black Flags\, Blue Waters reclaims the daring freelance sailors who proved essential to the winning of the Revolutionary War. \nThe heroic story of the founding of the U.S. Navy during the Revolution has been told before\, yet missing from most maritime histories of America’s first war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels\, from 20-foot whaleboats to 40-cannon men-of-war\, that truly revealed the new nation’s character―above all\, its ambition and entrepreneurial ethos. \nIn Rebels at Sea\, Dolin corrects that significant omission\, and contends that privateers\, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst\, were in fact critical to the Revolution’s outcome. \nArmed with cannons\, swivel guns\, muskets\, and pikes―as well as government documents granting them the right to seize enemy ships―thousands of privateers tormented the British on the broad Atlantic and in bays and harbors on both sides of the ocean. \nAbounding with tales of daring maneuvers and deadly encounters\, Rebels at Sea presents the American Revolution as we have rarely seen it before. \nJOIN US! This event is a collaboration with Andover Bookstore.\nEric Jay Dolin Books will be available at the event at a discounted\nprice \nhttps://andoverhistoryandculture.org/revolution-250\nhttps://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/eric-jay-dolin-lecture-and-book-signing
