  • Creative Catalysts Exhibition: Call for Art

    Groundwork New Bedford 1213 Purchase Street, New Bedford, MA

    Through visual art, literary arts, music, and multi-media the exhibition will use a lens of literature to to “see” new perspectives. Cross-Pollinate with Us! Creative Catalysts displays the amazing interplay of unique pairings and perspectives from artists working in a broad assortment of artistic mediums. Our theme this year – the lens of literature – asks artist pairs to choose a work of literature and shape work resulting from its inherent questions and search for answers. The exhibition will take place at GroundWork Gallery Saturday, October 3rd - Sunday, November 29. Creative Catalysts presents how viewpoints and creative work transform when connected to a wide pool of inspiration. How does your work change through collaboration? Is that change obvious to others? How will you reflect on the experience when it is over? Each artist contributes their own work to the exhibit, displayed visually in a shared space with the partner’s work. Prior to creating the individual works, the partner pair chooses a piece of literature – of any genre – to reference as source, inspiration, or framework. Then chat and meet with your partner over the course of the summer and early fall to brainstorm and share creative process ideas. Inspire […]

  • Founding Godfathers: The Philosophical Foundations of the Declaration of Independence from the Age of Enlightenment

    Fall River Public Library 104 North Main St, Fall River, MA

    This presentation, led by Michael Boudria PhD, will teach what were the philosophical underpinnings of the time that were influencing Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams in the construction of the Declaration of Independence. These underlying ideas directly influenced the language, argument, and perspective of the document not only in terms of what it was for but also in what it was against. Thus, the Declaration of Independence is the culmination of philosophical discussions from the Age of Enlightenment spanning the century and a half that preceded it. The presentation will discuss how the Age of Enlightenment came about, what separated it from thinking from previous eras, what were its main philosophical contributions, and what were its influences on fields of study that came afterward. We'll also discuss the two Age of Enlightenment philosophers most responsible for the wording chosen in the Declaration of Independence itself, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. Finally, the presentation will end on the debate of the last 25 years in political philosophy: Do we actually live in a Lockean society? Or do we live in a Hobbesian one?
