​

"Red, White, and Bruised: America's Healthcare and Reproductive Rights" — Assemblages from Medical Debris by Sarah Schneidermanon view in the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts from June 27 to July 27, 2025.

​

Opening reception on June 27 from 3-6 pm with the opportunity to meet the artist.

​

Artist Talk and Q&A on Saturday, June 28th at 11 am.

​

Gallery hours are Friday to Sunday from 12-4 pm with free admission.

​

In "Red, White, and Bruised," artist Sarah Schneiderman confronts the fractured healthcare and reproductive landscape in the United States. Schneiderman made these poignant assemblages from non-recyclable medical and other debris. This exhibit juxtaposes imagery of American flags with maps showing state-level abortion access. Each piece in this exhibit examines the promises of liberty and justice against the realities of unequal care, legislative control, and choice.

​

Sarah reimagines the flag—an emblem of national pride and unity—using discarded medical materials such as pill packs, gauze, surgical socks, and syringe tubes. These flags represent waste in America's healthcare system, both figuratively and literally. They explore the equality of those who have access to healthcare. Minorities, women, and people of lower socioeconomic status receive different care than wealthy white men. Alongside the flags, abortion access maps, constructed from similar debris, show in which states reproductive rights are banned or are safe and legal. These maps lay bare the consequences of political decisions on real bodies.

​

Together, these works ask: "What does it mean to pledge allegiance to a nation where geography, wealth, gender, and race determine who has access to care?"

​

"Red, White, and Bruised" invites viewers to reflect on national pride, laws, and personal health. It challenges us to envision a country where care and choice are universal rights, not privileges.

​

Community Give Back Day is a family-friendly, free event that includes screenings, giveaways, raffles, empowerment information, health and wellness information, exhibitors, resources, and fresh fruits and vegetables, among other things. We have something for every one!

​

Using a photograph as reference, participants will use the softest of materials, wool roving, as if they were paint, along with a special barbed needle to create a felted landscape on a backing of raw silk. Students may bring their own landscape photographs (recommended size 8" x 10"), or use one provided by the instructor. $20 materials fee payable to instructor day of workshop.

​

Diane Cadrain is a Connecticut artist who uses fiber to create unique and beautiful images. Her work includes hand-painted fabric, felted fibers, machine piecing and quilting, hand embroidery, and beading.

“Enduring Creativity: Celebrating 125 Years of the New Haven Paint & Clay Club,” an exhibition featuring over 50 works of art and objects drawn from the New Haven Paint & Clay Club’s significant permanent collection, is on view at the New Haven Museum. The exhibition runs through July 12, 2025.

​

More: newhavenmuseum.org/education/current-exhibitions/

​

“Enduring Creativity” celebrates the New Haven Paint & Clay Club’s 125 years of promoting the visual arts in the community. The group was founded in 1900 by artists seeking opportunities to exhibit their work and advocate for the arts. At the turn of the 19th century there were few opportunities for New Haven artists to exhibit their work. From its inception, the New Haven Paint & Clay Club has been progressive, inviting women to fully participate as members and exhibitors.

​

The New Haven Paint & Clay Club began with a gathering of artists in May 1900. In December of that year, the first exhibition of the newly formed club was held in New Haven in a room over a printer’s shop on Pitkin Alley. Exhibition spaces for the New Haven Paint & Clay Club have ranged from its humble opening space to the New Haven Free Public Library, and later, at the John Slade Ely House where it remained for over 50 years.

​

In 1928, the club began raising the funds to begin building a permanent collection. Today, there are nearly 400 works of art in the New Haven Paint & Clay Club Permanent Collection, and the Club is one of New England’s oldest, continuously active, arts organizations, and the oldest in Connecticut.

​

The exhibition is curated by artist Greg Shea, a past president of the Club, with the assistance of Jason Bischoff-Wurstle, NHM Director of Photo Archives. “As an artist member, past president, and the current curator of the of the New Haven Paint & Clay Club’s Permanent Collection, I am proud to belong to a continuum of artists whose significant achievements, and importance to the history of art in the region, and America cannot be overstated,” Shea says. “ It has been my great pleasure to select works for this exhibition which showcase the depth and diversity of the club’s permanent collection, and the artists who have created them. I can think of no better venue and partner than the New Haven Museum to host this exhibition, which celebrates the New Haven Paint & Clay Club’s ongoing mission to promote the visual arts in New Haven, for the benefit and enjoyment of all.”

Now, with their ninth LP, South Shore, Ward Hayden & The Outliers bring their “amber-soaked melodies, tight musicianship, and casual elegance” (Boston Globe) all back home, literally and spiritually. Ward notes that the release is “the closest thing I’ve ever done to a concept album. I wanted to just recount my experience of growing up in a small town and what it meant and what it took to get out and leave that behind to try and pursue something, chase after something that was and is a dream. I used to joke that my greatest achievement was I got out of here because it was no easy feat. My family had moved 12 times by the time I was 12 years old, so once there was a place I could really call home and I’d developed friends and connections, it was tough to leave that behind. But, Scituate, Massachusetts isn’t Las Vegas, if you want to get your music to a wider audience you have to get out in the world and bring it to them.”  

An evening with the leading lights for contemporary country. The irresistible Ward Hayden & The Outliers have been doing hit tour after hit tour and the requests, or even demands, for them to come back soon have been many and loud.

Separated by 2,781 miles and on two different continents, Iraqi and Nigerian Christians share similar stories of persecution. From 2014-2018, portions of Northern Iraq were under the control of the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and many religious minorities, including Christians, experienced persecution and violence as a result. In the northern and central portions of Nigeria, violence towards Christians and other minority groups has also increased in recent years at the hands of Boko Haram and other groups. 

​

The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is honored to share the stories of those displaced in Iraq and Nigeria through Among the Persecuted and Displaced — a collection of photographs taken by Stephen Rasche. The Knights of Columbus has sponsored some of Rasche’s work in both countries, bringing to light the atrocities inflicted on those persecuted for their faith.

Jason is originally from Brooklyn, New York, born to parents who immigrated from Ambato, Ecuador.

​

Jason's social dance specialties include Salsa On1, Bachata (Dominican, Modern, and Sensual), and Merengue. Some of Jason's past artistic collaborations and credits include Nightfall, Ballet Theatre Company, Orquesta Afinke, Latin Heartbeat Orchestra, Riverfront Dance Festival, and The International Festival of Arts and Ideas.

​

"Red, White, and Bruised: America's Healthcare and Reproductive Rights" — Assemblages from Medical Debris by Sarah Schneidermanon view in the Workshop Gallery at Ball & Socket Arts from June 27 to July 27, 2025.

​

Opening reception on June 27 from 3-6 pm with the opportunity to meet the artist.

​

Artist Talk and Q&A on Saturday, June 28th at 11 am.

​

Gallery hours are Friday to Sunday from 12-4 pm with free admission.

​

In "Red, White, and Bruised," artist Sarah Schneiderman confronts the fractured healthcare and reproductive landscape in the United States. Schneiderman made these poignant assemblages from non-recyclable medical and other debris. This exhibit juxtaposes imagery of American flags with maps showing state-level abortion access. Each piece in this exhibit examines the promises of liberty and justice against the realities of unequal care, legislative control, and choice.

​

Sarah reimagines the flag—an emblem of national pride and unity—using discarded medical materials such as pill packs, gauze, surgical socks, and syringe tubes. These flags represent waste in America's healthcare system, both figuratively and literally. They explore the equality of those who have access to healthcare. Minorities, women, and people of lower socioeconomic status receive different care than wealthy white men. Alongside the flags, abortion access maps, constructed from similar debris, show in which states reproductive rights are banned or are safe and legal. These maps lay bare the consequences of political decisions on real bodies.

​

Together, these works ask: "What does it mean to pledge allegiance to a nation where geography, wealth, gender, and race determine who has access to care?"

​

"Red, White, and Bruised" invites viewers to reflect on national pride, laws, and personal health. It challenges us to envision a country where care and choice are universal rights, not privileges.

Kascak is the educational outreach ambassador and traditional Native American storyteller at the Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, Connecticut.

Sarah Schneiderman from Glastonbury, Connecticut, is the featured artist at the Cheshire Public Library at 104 Main Street in Cheshire, CT,  from July 2 through July 30, 2025. Her exhibit, “More Garbage Than Fish,” showcases assemblages made from trash that depict the fish she encountered while scuba diving. The artist is hosting a reception  on Monday, July 7, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The show and reception are free and open to the public. 

​

Ms. Schneiderman explains what influenced this series: “I started diving in 2013 after retiring from my corporate career. I fell in love with the creatures found in the ocean and learned that coral reefs are dying and water temperatures are rising. Having previously created art using found objects and trash, I continued this theme by making representational artwork of the fish I’ve seen while diving. These pieces reveal both the beauty and the sometimes haunting aspects of sea life. Beneath the surface beauty, I address the overwhelming presence of trash, particularly in our oceans, through the use of found and recycled materials. This includes everyday debris, and items people have given me such as bead and button collections, produce bags, and piano parts.”

​

The exhibit also offers information on how to reduce our plastic consumption.

​

Cheshire Public Library is located at 104 Main Street, Cheshire, CT. The library is open:

TRIPPING DAISY

​

Tripping Daisy emerged from Dallas, Texas in 1990, quickly establishing themselves as one of the most dynamic and innovative forces in the alternative and psychedelic rock scenes. With original members Tim DeLaughter on vocals and guitar, Mark Pirro on bass, Wes Berggren on guitar, and Bryan Wakeland on drums, the band carved out a distinctive sound that resonated with fans and critics alike.

​

Their debut album, Bill (1992), made an immediate impact by selling over 20,000 copies locally and catching the attention of major labels. This early success paved the way for their breakthrough with I Am an Elastic Firecracker (1995). Featuring the hit single “I Got a Girl,” which went Gold in the U.S. and Platinum in Canada, the album firmly established Tripping Daisy’s reputation for delivering infectious, boundary-pushing music.

​

The band continued to evolve with Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb (1998), an album that has since achieved cult status thanks to its experimental edge and innovative production. Their self-titled album, Tripping Daisy (2000), stands as a poignant capstone to their original run, marking the legacy of their groundbreaking work even in the wake of founding member Wes Berggren’s untimely passing.

​

Over the years, Tripping Daisy’s music has not only captivated audiences in concert but has also made its mark on popular culture—featured in films such as The Craft , Basquiat , and Saturday Morning Cartoons , and on television through appearances on Beavis and Butt-Head and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. Their energetic live performances and enduring stage presence have left a lasting impression across North America and beyond.

​

Now, as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of I Am an Elastic Firecracker with an Anniversary Tour in 2025, Tripping Daisy continues to honor their storied past while forging a path toward the future with new recordings and fresh energy. Frontman Tim DeLaughter’s creative journey also extends into his work with The Polyphonic Spree—a project that has further underscored his innovative vision and contributed to memorable collaborations with music legends.

​

Hailing from Dallas and proudly signed to Good Records, Tripping Daisy remains a vital and inspiring chapter in the history of alternative rock, continuously inviting new generations to experience the magic of their music.

This includes everyday debris, and items people have given me such as bead and button collections, produce bags, and piano parts.”

J. M. W. Turner's seascapes demonstrate how his engagements with water—as subject, substance, and perhaps even collaborator—explore how humans coexist with one of the most alien features of our environment. From beaches to boats, mists to waterfalls, Steve Mentz argues that Turner presents water as a challenge to human ideas of order. The intersection of Turner and the “blue humanities,” which recently developed a critical language for relationships between human culture and water in all its forms, resonates for those of us who live near—and in Mentz’s case, swim in—Long Island Sound during an age of rising sea levels.
