Each year, the Colby College Museum of Art offers an array of public programs including lectures, performances, classes, and workshops. All of these events are free and open to the public.
Prof. Simon, guest curator, will speak about the exhibition Rediscoveries 1.
Rediscoveries, an ongoing exhibition series, presents rotating selections from the permanent collection chosen by members of the Colby College community.
*Please note: Due to construction, the Museum has suspended serving lunch prior to its Noontime Talks.
People of all ages are invited to join local artists at Barrel's Community Market from 10 o'clock to 12 o'clock to make their own papier-mache masks in conjunction with Freshwater Arts and Waterville's Harvest Fest. This workshop is free, and walk-ins are welcome.

Noontime Art Talk: American Modern: Abbott, Evans, Bourke-White
In the 1930s, documentary photographers Berenice Abbott,
Walker Evans, and Margaret Bourke-White created images capturing American men,
women, and children living in grinding poverty during the years of the Dust
Bowl and the Great Depression. As the current economic recession continues, poverty
is again a focus of national attention. Speaking from the point of view of
their own various faith traditions, Maine clergy will consider religion’s role
in combating poverty, both historically and today.
Talks will begin at 2:00 pm preceded at 1:30 pm by a gallery
tour of the exhibition American Modern: Abbott, Evans, Bourke-White
