It Takes Two: The Story of Couples in Art
Thursday, February 11, 2021 • 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
virtual program via zoom
We associate love poetry with Valentine’s Day, but art history has its share of couples, too. You’ll see couples from all periods of art, particularly those sharing kisses that never end in a painting or work of sculpture. This program is a lighthearted look at relationships that were immortalized in ways that a greeting card just can’t express.
After many years of teaching classical languages, philosophy, and the history of ideas at Souhegan High School, presenter Nancy Baker now spends her time volunteering. She is immediate past Executive Chair of the Guild of Volunteers at the Currier Museum of Art and is an active docent there. Nancy gives talks on art, language and the history of ideas at the Currier, libraries, senior living enrichment programs, and community groups in the greater area. She is Chairman of the Amherst Library Board of Trustees and is an enthusiastic supporter of the role of the free library in communities.

A Libertarian Walks into a Bear
Tuesday, February 23, 2021 • 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM
virtual program via zoom
Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched one of the most ambitious social experiments in modern American history—the Free Town Project: a plan to takeover an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a flyspeck town with only one paved road, buried in the woods of New Hampshire’s western fringe. When freedom-focused libertarians across the US—from as far as California to as near as Massachusetts—descended on Grafton, state and federal laws became meek suggestions. Soon the wilderness-thick town lost public funding for pretty much everything: fire dept, the schoolhouse, library, and perhaps most importantly wildlife services. As the people were ignoring laws and regulations on hunting and food disposal, their newly formed off-the-grid tent city caught the attention of some unruly neighbors: the bears.
Join journalist/author Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling as he shares his path to uncovering the truth behind this fantastical tale of bear vs. libertarian.
