SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Celebrating 250 – The Intoxicating History Of The American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** \nEighteenth-century Americans consumed a staggering amount of alcohol compared to us today. Drink influenced their politics\, built and sustained their relationships\, and drove the economy. Booze was not a small part of colonial society\, nor covertly consumed in private spaces—it was integral to American life. When the colonists rebelled against the British Empire\, this culture of drink and taverns helped foster revolution. \nJoin historian Brooke Barbier\, author of Cocked and and Boozy: An Intoxicated History of the American Revolution\, for a lively talk about the influence of tavern and drinking culture on the American Revolution. You’ll hear about the way alcohol influenced colonial resistance\, soldiers on both sides of the war\, and the creation of a new nation. You’ll see famous founders and lesser-known Patriots drink their way from British subjects into Americans. \nRegister directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Tewksbury Friends of the Library and the Bacon Free Library. \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will NOT be recorded.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Celebrating 250 — Portraits Of A Revolution
DESCRIPTION:**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.** \nExplore American portraits painted and sculpted during the years leading up to\, and the decades after\, the Revolution. \nThe ideals\, values\, and virtues expressly stated in our founding documents are easily identifiable in these portraits once we know how to “read” them. We will examine portraits of founding “fathers” and “mothers\,” as well as of lesser-known individuals\, as documents that can be read like texts. In this program\, we’ll also discuss the tradition of portraiture\, and the influences of earlier art movements\, artists\, and artifacts\, that inform these American portraits. \nLed by Inez McDermott\, Professor Emerita of art history at New England College. She is a curator of art and history exhibitions at various museums and galleries throughout New England. \nRegister directly on Zoom HERE. Sponsored by the Tewksbury Friends of the Library and the Bacon Free Library. \nRECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.
