SUMMARY:Virtual Creative Foundations: Cyanotypes
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest with a guided tour and workshop! \nFirst\, go inside the exhibition with Jane Winchell\, PEM’s Sarah Fraser Robbins Director of The Dotty Brown Art & Nature Center and Curator of Natural History\, and discover the biodiversity and global importance of our northernmost forests. Afterward\, join artist Patricia Scialo to learn how to make cyanotype prints: a “cameraless photography” technique using treated paper that chemically reacts to sunlight. Reflect on the exhibition and your own connection to nature by creating\, exposing and processing your cyanotype print. This workshop will also provide resources\, ideas and methods to further explore cyanotypes at home. \nThis class is perfect for beginners or those returning to art after a break. All supplies are provided\, and participants will take home essential materials so they can continue practicing at home. \nAbout our collaborator\nPatricia Scialo \nFine art photographer Patricia Scialo applies alternative photographic processes to create unique handmade prints. She began her career as an intern at Peter’s Valley Craft Center\, Layton\, New Jersey\, where she mastered view camera work\, historic photographic printing processes and still-life compositions that earned her a state fellowship. She has continued working with raw materials\, producing handmade paper and cyanotype prints that incorporate mixed media techniques. Scialo was invited to exhibit at the 2024 International Fotografia Festival\, Portugal. She is a first-place recipient in the 15th Julia Margaret Cameron Gala Awards\, Barcelona. Additional juried exhibitions include: Griffin Museum of Photography\, Danforth Art Museum\, Winfisky Gallery\, Cove Gallery\, Jolie Tea Company and Marblehead Arts. Since relocating to the North Shore in 2019\, Scialo has conducted workshops for Salem State University\, the Cape Ann Museum and Montserrat College of Art. Her studio is located in the Lydia Pinkham Building in Lynn.

SUMMARY:Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone Exhibition Catalogue
DESCRIPTION:Why do museums publish exhibition catalogues? In this special edition of PEM Reads\, two curators will break down what goes into a book such as Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone and how it can serve as a lasting record of a temporary exhibition. \nAn exhibition catalogue typically gathers photos and reproductions of the artworks in a museum show\, accompanied by essays from curators\, artists and other experts about the exhibition’s theme. It can represent a souvenir of a favorite museum experience\, a rare behind-the-scenes look at a topic or an important research source for art historians. Museum catalogues can even transport readers to an exhibition they couldn’t visit in person. \nChief Curator Petra Slinkard will moderate the discussion. \nThe catalogue is available from the PEM Shop in hardcover ($60) and paperback editions ($36). You do not need to purchase the book to enjoy this event.

SUMMARY:Sculptural Legacies: A Curatorial Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel of museum curators for a “Sculptural Legacies: A Curatorial Roundtable on Emma Stebbins\, Edmonia Lewis and John Rhoden\,” in partnership with the Heckscher Museum in Huntington\, New York. This virtual discussion will focus on three recent single-artist exhibitions about three pathbreaking American sculptors: Emma Stebbins (1815–1882)\, Edmonia Lewis (1844–1907) and John Rhoden (1916–2001). Stebbins was a queer sculptor working in 19th-century Rome who is best known for creating Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain. Lewis was the first Black and Indigenous sculptor to achieve international acclaim in the 19th century\, and Rhoden was a world-traveling Black sculptor who mastered a wide range of artistic media. \nAs the first museum surveys of each artist\, these curators’ exhibitions meaningfully repositioned them within their broader networks\, featuring new archival discoveries and resurfacing previously unlocated sculptures. Go behind the scenes to learn about how these exhibitions unfolded\, and how the curators approached similar questions and challenges in bringing to life the artistic careers of these three trailblazing artists. \nSpeakers: \nShawnya L. Harris\, Ph.D.\, Larry D. and Brenda A. Thompson Curator of African American and African Diasporic Art\, Georgia Museum of Art\, University of Georgia; co-curator of Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone\, now on view at PEM \nJeffrey Richmond-Moll\, Ph.D.\, PEM’s George Putnam Curator of American Art\, co-curator of Edmonia Lewis: Said in Stone \nBrittany Webb\, Ph.D.\, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art\, Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston\, Curator of Determined to Be: The Sculpture of John Rhoden \nKarli Wurzelbacher\, Ph.D.\, Chief Curator at The Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington\, New York\, Curator of Emma Stebbins: Carving Out History

SUMMARY:Profoundly Vulnerable: The Story of Four Witchcraft Accusations
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 5th for our first virtual lecture of 2026\, “Profoundly Vulnerable: The Story of Four Witchcraft Accusations\,” presented in celebration of the 39th annual Women’s History Month. \nThere were many reasons why a woman in seventeenth-century New England might be accused of witchcraft\, but those who were alone\, poor\, and\, perhaps\, quarrelsome were in particular danger. We will focus on four women targeted during the Salem witch trials. Rachel Clinton\, Sarah Good\, Margaret Scott\, and Ann Dolliver each had promising beginnings in the New World but\, through no fault of their own\, found themselves in desperate circumstances. \nThis free virtual program will be hosted on Thursday March 5th at 6:00 pm ET. Registration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:How Birds Created the World
DESCRIPTION:Bestselling author Randi Minetor presents a lively virtual program based on her recent book The Complete Language of Birds. Discover some of the myriad ways that birds have influenced the culture and stories of people around the world\, ranging from the Ancient Egyptians who believed that the Earth began as an egg laid by a giant goose\, to the Ojibwa people\, who mark a time when a bird braved the deep waters of a Great Flood to bring a bit of soil up from the bottom to restart the continent. Minetor will also share instances in which birds have served as enduring symbols\, as well as agents of various superstitions over the ages. \nThis event is co-hosted by the Essex County Ornithological Club. A brief meeting of the club will be held from 7:30–7:45 pm. All are welcome to attend!

SUMMARY:Lecture: Privateers of the Caribbean: Bermuda and the Bahamas After the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear Ross Nedervelt\, the 2023 Frances E. Malamy Fellow at PEM’s Phillips Library\, present the findings of his research project: “Loyalism\, Privateering\, and American Sovereignty in the Atlantic Border-sea\, 1783-1815.” \nBetween 1783 and 1819\, the newly independent United States fought a series of skirmishes with Britain over control of the islands of Bermuda and the Bahamas. American loyalists and British military occupying the islands created a military and cultural bulwark to defend against the nascent United States\, thwarting the new country’s endeavors to expand its commercial influence into the colonies of the British Caribbean. In the decades following the American Revolution\, the British government remade Bermuda from a commercial hub into the Royal Navy’s staging ground for the assault on Washington\, D.C. during the War of 1812. \nThe Phillips Library Frances E. Malamy Research Fellowship program\, funded by the Malamy family\, awards $5\,500 to one recipient each year to perform independent research for three months at the library located in Rowley\, Massachusetts.
