The Whistler House Museum of Art (WHMA) is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, In the Light of the Past: The Students of Paul Ingbretson. After postponing the exhibition due to the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the museum is excited to showcase works of art by Paul Ingbretson and his talented students. The show will run from June 3, 2023 to August 26, 2023. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, June 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Parker Gallery.

Since 1982, The Ingbretson Studio of Drawing and Painting in Lawrence, MA, has educated artists in the Nineteenth-Century Boston School approach to painting. This stunning collection of work represents the broad range, style, and individuality which his students have developed — and are still developing — under his guidance and knowledge.

Saturday, June 3 – Opening Reception, 1 to 3 pm

Thursday, June 8 – Lecture by Paul Ingbretson, 6:30 pm, “The Method is the School”

Join us for some wine, hors’doeuvres, and incredible art! In addition to providing a memorable and fun evening out, we are planning this gala auction to be the signature fundraising event for the Jaffrey Civic Center, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Founded in 1966, our mission is “to provide and sustain a public venue where people of the Monadnock region can pursue artistic, educational and civic activities. The Center’s goal is to contribute to the cultural enrichment and enlightenment of the community.” Because we believe in this mission, the JCC has provided exhibitions, educational programs, and performance opportunities to residents and visitors for many years. Our goal now is to continue to foster this tradition and expand it, making the Jaffrey Civic Center a regional cultural attraction.

The Jaffrey Civic Center is delighted to invite you to a special preview reception on Friday, April 14, at 5:30 pm, two weeks ahead of the Center’s second annual Heart of the Arts Gala Art Auction. The reception, a celebration of the artists participating in the Gala, will offer guests the opportunity to meet the artists, view the works that will be available at the Gala, bid on silent auction items, and of course, purchase tickets to the Gala, which will be held on Saturday, April 29. So come to the Center, enjoy refreshments from the Optimist Café and musical entertainment by Grove Street. Join us in the spirit of colors, shapes, ideas, community, and fun. We hope to see you there!
