*Voices and Visions: One of the most influential and prolific black American writers of the century, Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was fueled by his love for his race and culture. The blues, jazz and spirituals echo in his rhythmic lines. Hughes became involved in the black artistic and political movements of his time. The film includes Hughes reading from his works and scenes of his travels. Commentary by James Baldwin, Gwendolyn Brooks and Leopold Sedar Senghor, among others.

Vermont artist Mary Giammarino will be the guest artist at the Hamden Art League meeting on Tuesday, March 12th.

A plein air Impressionist painter and teacher from the Cape Cod School of Art, Mary will demonstrate her painting technique of capturing light while emphasizing and concentrating on the masses. She accomplishes this through the use of the palette knife. With a limited palette and need for few painting accessories, the artist will show those in attendance a simple base and starting point for “want to be” painters and curious art lovers.

Attendees at the March meeting will also have an opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for an original oil painting by Connecticut artist John Massimino. Proceeds from the raffle will be used to fund the Vera Nargi Memorial Award. The drawing for the painting will take place at the opening reception of the Goldenbells Exhibition on April 9th.

The meeting will take place on March 12, 2013 in the Social Hall of the Miller Memorial Library Senior Center, 2901 Dixwell Avenue, Hamden, Connecticut. Coffee and conversation begins at 7:00 pm, followed by a brief general business meeting at 7:15 and the artist’s demo at 7:30. If the Miller Library is closed due to inclement weather, the meeting will be cancelled. For further info on Hamden Art League, visit www.hamdenartleague.com
