SUMMARY:(The )Magic(al) (Is/of )Here: Large-Scale Paintings of Local Flowers by Maggie Stanley
DESCRIPTION:April 3-30 in the Munroe Gallery at the Concord Main Library. See library website for daily hours. \nImmerse yourself in the beauty of local flowers as we await their blooming in later spring and summer. \nMost of the paintings in this show are based on photographs taken on walks throughout Concord\, including at Great Meadows\, the Buttrick Estate\, Concord Community Gardens\, the “wisteria house” across the street from the Main Library\, and even the Keyes Road municipal parking lot. \nMany of the works were created in 2024 for Flora(l) Portals\, my solo show in the skylit atrium of the Morse Institute Library in Natick\, MA. Because the pieces were hung from balcony railings and viewed from a distance\, I used canvases ranging from 3 to 6 feet in height—hence the name of that show\, as some of the paintings are almost the size of doors. \nI’m a largely self-taught artist\, born and raised in Massachusetts\, with my childhood spent in Arlington\, Sudbury\, and then Concord\, where I now reside. Although I’ve worked in multiple mediums\, my main focus the past few years has been floral paintings on textured canvas\, which I started while in Lois Andersen’s Monday Night Painters group at The Umbrella Arts Center. I am ever-appreciative of Lois\, the camaraderie of the group\, and the variety of local trails and publicly-accessible gardens that provide such an abundance of beauty. I hope my art can convey some of that beauty to others\, no matter the season\, and encourage exploration when the conditions are right! \nwww.maggiestanley.net

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Julie Masis
DESCRIPTION:Join author Julie Masis for a discussion of her memoir How My Grandfather Stole a Shoe and Survived the Holocaust in Ukraine. \nDuring World War II\, thousands of Moldovan Jews were imprisoned in the Obodovka ghetto\, located in the Romanian-occupied part of Ukraine. Unlike the areas under German control where Jews faced systematic extermination\, survival rates were marginally higher under Romanian occupation\, as soldiers there did not pursue mass executions with bullets. Despite this\, most of the ghetto’s inhabitants succumbed to starvation and disease during the harsh first winter. Journalist Julie Masis captures this lesser-known chapter of the Holocaust through the memories of her grandfather Shlomo Masis\, a survivor who lived to the remarkable age of 102. His recollections reveal stories of resilience\, including how some Ukrainians aided the Jews in the ghetto. Masis also delves into a poignant family legend about a German medic who reportedly fell in love with her Jewish grandmother. This narrative sheds light on both the horrors and the unexpected human connections that emerged during one of history’s darkest periods. \nJulie Masis is an award- winning journalist whose stories have been published in the Boston Globe\, the Christian Science Monitor\, the Globe and Mail\, the Jerusalem Post\, the Times of Israel and in other newspapers. She is also the editor and publisher of the Russian Boston Gazette\, a newspaper for Russian-speaking immigrants in Boston. Other than writing\, she has also taught English to Buddhist monks in Cambodia\, organized tours to the Khmer Rouge tribunal\, and likes to design dresses. \nThe Concord Free Public Library is committed to providing everyone with unimpeded access to our resources\, programs\, and services. Learn more about accessibility at our libraries. You can also email our administration team or give us a call at either of our libraries to request additional accommodations. \nThe Concord Free Public Library’s programs are free to the public thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library and the Concord Free Public Library Corporation.
