Chamberlin Free Public Library, 46 Main St. in Greenville, will be hosting “Granite State Gallery: New Hampshire Art and Artists through the Years,” a New Hampshire Humanities-to-Go program, Wednesday, Sept 7, at 7 p.m. with presenter Jane Oneail.
New Hampshire has attracted and inspired artists since the Colonial era. This program will consider works by itinerant and folk painters, landscape artists drawn to the state’s scenic vistas and modern artists that adopted bold styles to depict everyday life in the Granite State. Augustus Saint-Gaudens, Childe Hassam and Maxfield Parrish are some of the artists discussed in this program.
Oneail is the founder of Culturally Curious, an arts education consulting firm specializing in art appreciation programs. She curates and delivers programs throughout New England and beyond. Oneail holds a master’s in art history from Boston University and a master’s in education from Harvard University. Born and raised in New Hampshire, she has worked at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, where she served as executive director; and the Currier Museum of Art, where she held the role of senior educator. Oneail has also taught at the college level for more than a decade, most recently at Southern New Hampshire University.
This program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities and is free and open to the public. For information, call the library at 603-878-1105.
