DESCRIPTION:Carlson Education Center & Janet & William Ellery James Center\nCAM Green\, 13 Poplar Street\, Gloucester\, MA\nCAM Members Free\, Non-Members $5\nRegistration Required as space is limited. \nJoin us for a deep dive into the life and work of artist\, Margaret Fitzhugh Browne\, Emily “Bonnie” Browne\, The Artist’s Sister.

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 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. \nImage Credit: Margaret Fitzhugh Browne (1884–1972)\, Emily “Bonnie” Browne\, The Artist’s Sister\, c. late 1920s\, oil on canvas.

SUMMARY:Jefferson Starship 50th Anniversary Tour
DESCRIPTION:As they celebrate their 50th anniversary\, the band reaches a rare milestone that only a few bands ever achieve. \nJefferson Starship is one of the most successful arena rock bands of the ’70s and ’80s\, earning 3 platinum and 8 gold records\, as well as numerous Top 40 Billboard singles. \nFounded by Paul Kantner in the ’70s\, Jefferson Starship was conceived as a collective of musical adventurers contributing to his epic concept albums and eventual catalog of rock classics. When the current lineup came together in 2012\, with many members hav ing joined years earlier\, Kantner couldn’t have predicted the band would become the road – conquering force they are today.
