SUMMARY:Catie Curtis
DESCRIPTION:For more than three decades\, Catie Curtis has occupied a singular place in American songwriting. \nLong before authenticity became a marketing strategy\, Curtis was practicing a quieter art: making songs that feel like conversations\, invitations into a shared emotional space where listeners recognize themselves. \nOver the course of fifteen albums and thousands of performances\, her career has taken her from Boston’s vibrant folk scene to stages across the country\, including Carnegie Hall and the White House. Yet Curtis’s enduring appeal has never rested on accolades alone. It comes from a rare ability to transform private experience into something shared\, creating songs that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. \nAs Mary Gauthier says\, “Catie Curtis is an artist whose songs unarm me\, move me to put down my defenses and just be with them.” Whether performing in a theater\, a performing arts center\, or an intimate house concert\, Curtis creates the feeling of a gathering rather than a show\, grounded in warmth\, humor\, and genuine connection. \nWriting with an observant eye and a compassionate heart\, Curtis finds meaning in ordinary moments. Mary Chapin Carpenter has praised her “remarkable ability to reveal the spiritual dimensions of ordinary life\,” a quality that has made her music a companion through love\, loss\, family\, and change. \nHer songs have also contributed to the story of LGBTQ visibility in American culture. In her anthem “Radical\,” Curtis sang\, “I’m not being radical when I kiss you\,” offering listeners a vision of love expressed with confidence and grace. Throughout her career\, she has remained committed to telling the truth as she sees it and creating songs that accompany listeners through every season of life. \nThat commitment to connection extends beyond music. In recent years\, Curtis became a licensed marriage and family therapist while continuing to write and perform\, an evolution that feels like a natural extension of the work she has always done: listening deeply and helping people find their way toward one another. \nHer newest album\, C’mon Butterfly\, embraces change with curiosity and hope. Drawing inspiration from the natural world\, Curtis explores themes of transformation\, interdependence\, and gratitude\, finding wisdom in butterflies\, changing seasons\, and everyday beauty. Three decades into a remarkable career\, Catie Curtis continues to do what she has always done best: create songs that illuminate\, comfort\, and connect.

SUMMARY:CAM Talk: From Clay to Bronze\, The Making of the Seated Cat\, by Robert Shure
DESCRIPTION:CAM welcomes sculptor Robert Shure for an engaging gallery talk on the Seated Cat\, his newly installed bronze in the Museum’s renovated courtyard\, an enlargement of Katherine Lane Weems’ iconic work of the same name and modeled in 1941. Shure will reflect on his past work with Weems\, the artistic dialogue that emerged between their two cats\, and the meticulous sculptural process behind creating this magnificent piece for CAM’s campus. It is a chance to hear directly from the artist about the history\, craft\, and character embodied in this contemplative feline form. \nUpon graduating from college\, owner Robert Shure became an assistant at the traditional sculpture studio of Arcangelo Cascieri and Adio di Biccari. From the early 1970s through the 1980s\, Shure helped produce many of the public monuments\, sculptures\, memorials\, and restorations completed at the Cascieri-di Biccari studio. He became involved in all the specialties of the sculpture studio\, including designing monuments and portraits\, creating armatures\, mold-making\, casting in plaster\, creating and replicating architectural ornament\, and conserving and restoring plaster\, stone\, and bronze. As Cascieri and di Biccari gradually retired\, Shure continued the tradition of the sculpture studio. In 1990\, Shure moved the Cascieri-di Biccari studio to Woburn\, Massachusetts and renamed it Skylight Studios. It is one of the largest and most active studios of its type in the country. Robert is currently creating many significant public and private monuments and sculptures. He has accumulated over 40 years of hands-on experience in the field of sculpture. His expertise ranges from the design and creation of monumental sculpture in bronze and granite to the conservation and restoration of historical sculpture and architectural ornament. Robert works with a worldwide clientele of communities\, institutions\, committees\, architects\, and museums.

SUMMARY:Spookley the Square Pumpkin
DESCRIPTION:Based on the wildly popular books and animated special\, Spookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical combines the spectacle and joy of Halloween with delightful songs that people of all ages will love! Airing every year on Disney\, the animated television special\, adapted from the bestselling Spookley book series\, has been a long time Halloween tradition for families all across the country. A Theatre For Young Audiences (TYA) musical with a big heart\, Spookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical is no tricks and nothing but a treat for all ages! \nSpookley The Square Pumpkin: The Musical tells the story of a square pumpkin living in a round pumpkin patch on Holiday Hill Farm. Shunned by the other pumpkins\, Spookley is befriended by Edgar\, Allan and Poe\, three hilarious spiders who convince him that\, square or not\, he has a right to be the Pick of the Patch. Encouraged by kindly Jack Scarecrow\, Spookley tries his best\, but he isn’t sure he has what it takes until a mighty storm threatens Holiday Hill Farm. Spookley realizes it is up to him and his square shape to save the day. As a result\, all the pumpkins in the patch learn that the things that make you different make you special. \nSaturday\, October 24th at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM\, Sunday\, October 25th at 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.
